Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences | Rutgers-New Brunswick

EOF Overview

The Office of Special Programs (OSP) believes that our students are responsible for their own growth, development and education and have a great capacity to make positive, adaptive changes in their educational development. The role of the office is to serve as supportive, sympathetic, professional resources, and to assist students in navigating the complexities of life at the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.

Program services and activities are based in the practical reality that each student needs to understand what is required to succeed in college, and to develop an accurate view of her or his own skills, abilities, strengths, and capacities. The role of the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences OSP staff is to guide and direct, inform and instruct, encourage and support students in this process.

The transition from high school to college is often a difficult one for any student. The Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Office of Special Programs works to ease this transition both by providing skills such as critical thinking, problem solving and time management, and by focusing on diagnosis and accurate placement of students in fall courses, thus enabling students to perform most effectively in their first year of college.
