Ask at Penn State Berks what your diploma would read. The people there will tell you.

Whether or not Rutgers is worth the additional expense is something you will need to sort out with your family. Med school admissions is heavily numbers-based. You need an excellent GPA and MCAT score. The name of your university barely matters. Check with the pre-Med advisor, and find out what the MCAT scores of recent pre-Med students have been. Med school also is ridiculously expensive and there are very few scholarships. You will probably end up paying for it with loans and graduate with something like $200k - $300k in debt. So the usual advice is to get your undergrad degree for as cheap as possible.
