The university's Gateway Program provides special
academic courses to students who, based on their placement test
results, show need for remedial work in English and mathematics. The
program offers courses in biology, chemistry, history, philosophy,
physics, psychology, and sociology. These courses are designed to
strengthen skills and to offer students the best chance of succeeding
at Rutgers. Students who place into the program are notified by the
dean of first-year students during the summer prior to their first term
at the college and are assisted in making appropriate changes to their
fall program.
