Students must complete satisfactorily these courses as a requirement for graduation. A placement examination in English is required of entering students who have not received transfer credit for a college-level writing course (equivalent to 01:355:101 or 01:355:201). Students are required to enroll in the appropriate writing course each term until they have fulfilled the requirement. In place of 01:355:201, students may substitute one of the following courses: 01:355:301 College Writing and Research, 01:355:302 Scientific and Technical Writing, 01:355:303 Writing for Business and the Professions, 01:355:315 Writing Grant Proposals, and 01:355:342 Science Writing. Students who have transferred English Writing 101 from an outside college/ university are recommended to take 01:355:301 College Writing and Research as their advanced writing course. </p> <p> 2. <i>Humanities:</i> Three term courses (minimum of 9 credits) in art (except studio art), music (except applied and performance music), classics, English (except writing courses), foreign languages and literatures, linguistics, comparative literature, history, philosophy, or religion. No more than two courses may be taken in any one field. </p> <p> 3. <i>Social Sciences:</i> Three term courses (minimum of 9 credits) in anthropology (except physical anthropology), economics, geography (except physical geography), labor studies, political science, psychology, or sociology. No more than two courses may be taken in any one field. </p> <p> 4. <i>Mathematics and Natural Sciences:</i> Three term courses (minimum of 9 credits) in mathematics, chemistry, computer science, statistics, life sciences, geological sciences, physics, physical anthropology, or physical geography. At least 3 credits must be in a natural science (an approved course other than mathematics, computer science, and statistics), and no more than two courses in any one field. </p> <p> 5. <i>Cross-Cultural Perspectives.</i> One course (minimum of 3 credits) involving an examination of interactions among cultural groups, including issues of power, prejudice, inequality, and cultural diversity in both domestic and global contexts, may be used to fulfill the diversity course requirements. Courses that primarily focus on acquiring the fundamentals of a foreign language do not ordinarily meet this requirement. This credit also may be counted toward the humanities and social sciences areas. </p> <p> The general distribution requirements should be completed within the first 90 credits. A complete listing of courses that may be used to satisfy the General Distribution Requirements is available from the Office of Student Services, the Office of Advising and Counseling, the Office of the Dean, and on the college's web site <a href="http://ucc.rutgers.edu">http://ucc.rutgers.edu</a>. </p> </span><br></div></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">&nbsp;</td> <td valign="bottom"><br/><span class="footer">For additional information, contact RU-info at 732/932-info (4636) or <a href="http://colonelhenry.rutgers.edu/" target="_blank" class="footer_nav">colonelhenry.rutgers.edu</a>.<br /> Comments and corrections to: <a href="http://ur.rutgers.edu/mailform/?id=672" class="footer_nav">Campus Information Services</a>.<br /><br /> © 2005 Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
