Rutgers Division of Continuing Studies (DoCS) is devoted to the needs of lifelong learners.
Serving Lifelong Learners
We welcome and celebrate learners at all ages and stages of life -- from math enrichment classes for 1st graders to our Osher Lifelong Learning Institute for retirees who have never lost their passion for growth.
Career Building & Skill Growth
We expand access and opportunity through programs that build in-demand skills sought by employers and open new career possibilities.
Enabling Learning at a Distance
We were founded in 1996 to develop, foster, and promote quality online education at Rutgers. Today, that function is managed across the university by University Online Educational Services.
