Rutgers University-New Brunswick is a public land-grant research university in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It was chartered in 1766 as Queen's College, established in honor of Queen Charlotte, and was the eighth institution of higher education founded in the American colonies. The college was renamed Rutgers College in 1825 to honor benefactor and Revolutionary War veteran Colonel Henry Rutgers. In 1864 it became New Jersey's land-grant institution, and the Rutgers Law of 1956 affirmed Rutgers as the State University of New Jersey. New Brunswick is the flagship campus and enrolls over 50,000 students across five campus areas: Busch, College Avenue, Cook, Douglass, and Livingston. The university is a member of the Big Ten Conference.
