The private college in New Jersey now known as Rutgers College has its name due to a million dollar plus contribution by the wealthy Henry Rutgers in 1805. It should be noted that Rutgers College still exists within Rutgers University.

What is the difference between Rutgers College and Rutgers School of Engineering?

Rutgers College is the college of arts and sciences at Rutgers' New Brunswick campus. Engineering degrees are not available through Rutgers College. Rutgers School of Engineering was the Rutgers College of Engineering. The name was changed to the School of Engineering in order to reflect that graduate as well as undergraduate degrees.

The Rutgers Scientific School later split into the College of Engineering in 1914 and the College of Agriculture in 1921.
