Busch Campus (Rutgers University)

Busch Campus (Rutgers University)

Busch Campus is one of the five campuses at Rutgers University's main New Brunswick/Piscataway area campus, and is located entirely within Piscataway Township, New Jersey. Academic facilities and departments centered on this campus are primarily those related to the natural sciences: physics, pharmacy, engineering, psychology, mathematics and statistics, chemistry, geology and biology. The Rutgers Medical School was also built on this campus in 1970, but a year later was separated by the State to create the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey). The two universities continue to share the land and facilities on the campus in a slightly irregular arrangement. The campus is named after Charles L. Busch (1902-1971), of Edgewater, New Jersey, an eccentric millionaire, who unexpectedly donated $10 million to the University for biological research at his death in 1971.

The land was donated by the state in the 1930s, and a stadium was constructed. The land was formerly a country club, and the original golf course still exists on the campus.
