Rutgers University-Newark partners with the nonprofit Braven because the Career Accelerator course has a strong record of promoting high-impact career development practices that lead to quality post-graduation jobs.
RU-N believes that the 3-credit RU-N/Braven Career Accelerator can enhance the education of all of our undergraduates in all majors. You will be auto-enrolled in your sophomore or junior year, and may choose to enroll in the course sooner or later in consultation with your advisors. See the Braven FAQs for details.
