The Division of Continuing Studies (DoCS) expands social and economic opportunity by widening access to the power of lifelong learning. Guided by the needs of learners, DoCS helps individuals, organizations, and communities thrive through high-impact programs that serve students of every age and stage. Rooted in New Jersey and extending its reach wherever learners are, DoCS supports faculty, staff, and students across the Rutgers community.
Established in 1996 by University Presidential action to coordinate continuing education, distance learning, and outreach, DoCS now operates under the leadership of the Chancellor of Rutgers–New Brunswick, continuing its mission to advance learning.
