Busch Campus is one of the five sub-campuses at Rutgers University's New Brunswick/Piscataway area campus, and is located entirely within Piscataway, New Jersey, US. Academic facilities and departments centered on this campus are primarily those related to the natural sciences: physics, pharmacy, engineering, psychology, mathematics and statistics, chemistry, geology, and biology. The Rutgers Medical School was also built on this campus in 1966, but four years later in 1970 was separated by the state and merged with the New Jersey Medical School and other health profession schools in Newark and New Brunswick to create the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Rutgers and the medical school, renamed Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in 1986, continued to share the land and facilities on the campus in a slightly irregular arrangement. On July 1, 2013, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School was officially merged back into Rutgers University, along with most of the other schools of UMDNJ, with the exception of the UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine.

The campus is named after Charles L. Busch (1902–1971), of Edgewater, New Jersey, an eccentric millionaire, who unexpectedly donated $10 million to the university for biological research at his death in 1971. The campus was formerly known as "University Heights Campus". The land was donated by the state in the 1930s, and a stadium was constructed. The land was formerly a country club, and the original golf course still exists on the campus.

On the Busch campus at Rutgers University, several notable living buildings cater to different student needs and foster community engagement. The Suites is a residential complex designed for undergraduates, featuring three double bedrooms per suite, a shared living area, and a bathroom, which promotes a more shared living experience also offering common lounges, study areas, and laundry facilities. BEST Hall (Building for Engineering, Science, and Technology) serves as a living-learning community focused on engineering and science, providing students with modern amenities such as study lounges, seminar rooms, and collaborative spaces for group projects, along with educational programs that enhance academic success. Additionally, the BAMM dorms (Barr, Allen, Mattia, Metzger) feature double rooms along with common study and living areas, and encourages community involvement through events that bring the residents together. All living buildings on the Busch campus offer convenient access to dining halls, recreational facilities, and academic resources, with amenities like fitness centers, study lounges, and event spaces that enhance student life and promote a vibrant, supportive campus community.
