Rutgers University–Camden is a public research university, part of the Rutgers University system, which is New Jersey’s flagship public institution. Shorelight is a private organization that partners with universities to support international students through programs like academic advising and cultural adaptation.
While Rutgers University–Camden remains public, its collaboration with Shorelight provides additional services for enrolled international students. This partnership does not change the university’s public status but enhances its offerings. Students attending Rutgers–Camden through Shorelight programs are still part of the public university system, with access to the same degrees and resources as other students.
