The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey was a state-run health sciences institution of New Jersey, United States. It had eight distinct academic units. It formed an academic health sciences centre. It awarded 1,459 degrees in 2010–2011.On June 28, 2012 the New Jersey state legislature passed a bill that dissolved the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and merged most of its schools, except the School of Osteopathic Medicine, with Rutgers University forming a new Rutgers School of Biomedical and Health Sciences effective July 1, 2013. Members of the Rutgers board of governors estimated that the takeover of UMDNJ could "elevate Rutgers’ status to among the top 25 most elite research universities in America." The Stratford-based School of Osteopathic Medicine, along with its Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, became part of Rowan University and was renamed the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.
