Rutgers-Camden has several interdisciplinary programs that feature study focused on diversity and equity.

AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES
The program in African American studies is designed to provide students with a sound understanding of the black experience nationally and internationally, while focusing on North America. The interdepartmental and inter-disciplinary features of the program allow for a broad and varied exposure to black culture, economics, politics, and history from Africa to the Americas.

LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
The Latin American Studies program welcomes students and faculty with interests in the fascinating and diverse region that stretches from the Mexican border to the tip of Tierra del Fuego. The minor in Latin American Studies complements major programs in Spanish language and literature, history, business, economics, sociology, anthropology, political science, art or other disciplines.

WOMEN'S STUDIES
Women's Studies is an undergraduate interdisciplinary minor for students who wish to explore gender as a social construction that shapes our thoughts, values, accomplishments, and relationships. Connected to this is the study of how other social categories – especially race and class -- affect our reality. In other words, Women’s Studies is not only for and about women. Though it often concentrates on women’s lives and contributions, it also examines and analyzes how we all exist within a complex web of social inequalities and privileges.

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
International Studies at Rutgers in Camden is a unique program, an alternative or supplement to the traditional year or semester abroad sponsored by many American universities. Our emphasis is on integrating brief periods of travel with regularly-offered courses in our university curriculum here in Camden. Our study tours take place during Winterim, over Spring break, or after classes end in May. The program is ideal for students who want some exposure to foreign cultures but for whom an extended period abroad may not be feasible.

SOUTH AFRICA STUDY PROGRAM
The School of Business–Camden (SBC) offers a study program on doing business in South Africa. The program highlight is a 12-day study trip over Spring Break to South Africa, where participants visit businesses and government institutions to learn more about management and marketing practices in this region. Students from Arts and Sciences and Law often participate in this program as well.

EUROPEAN STUDIES
The program in European Studies offers students a wide variety of ways in which they can gain recognition for learning about a diverse, fascinating, and important part of our world. Such study can help us to gain new perspectives on ourselves in other ways too, by introducing us to people who have often gazed at the world through lenses quite different from the ones through which we look.
