Douglass Residential College is a non-degree-granting program established in 2007 and open to female undergraduate students at any of the degree-granting schools of Rutgers University-New Brunswick. It replaced the liberal arts degree-granting Douglass College which had been opened in 1918. Douglass, originally named New Jersey College for Women, was renamed in 1955 after its founder and first dean, Mabel Smith Douglass. The degree-granting liberal arts Douglass College closed after it was merged with the other undergraduate colleges at Rutgers-New Brunswick in 2007. The non-degree-granting, optional, supplementary program called "Douglass Residential College" that replaced it is open to female undergraduate students at any of the degree-granting schools of Rutgers-New Brunswick.
