Transfer students may be accepted into Rutgers
Business School: Undergraduate–Newark (RBS) directly with indication of a
business major on their initial Rutgers–Newark application. RBS
students are jointly enrolled in the Newark College of Arts and Sciences
and Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate–Newark.
Those applying from outside Rutgers as transfer
students should apply online through the Office of University
Undergraduate Admissions at http://admissions.rutgers.edu , indicating a major
within the RBS.
Students
transferring from other schools should consult with admissions
counselors to learn if any articulation agreements are in place to
define which courses at the school from which they are transferring are
acceptable for meeting admission requirements. Please note the
information on NJ
Transfer . In addition, business courses taken at RBS or any other
institution
more than
seven years
prior to a
student's enrollment into the RBS will not be accepted.
Academic Credit for Transfer Courses
Transfer
students who are accepted into Rutgers Business School:
Undergraduate–Newark have their credits evaluated by an RBS academic
adviser.
Credit
accepted by Rutgers is awarded toward the total 124 credits needed for
graduation. However, certain courses in business, while credited toward
the degree, may not be accepted for specific course requirements in the
programs offered by the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate–Newark.
The
following courses are accepted if passed with a grade of C or better
when the syllabus or course description indicates the course is
equivalent to that offered at Rutgers:
Introduction to Financial Accounting
Introduction to Managerial Accounting
Business Law (for accounting majors)
Introduction to Economics: Micro
Introduction to Economics: Macro
Statistical Methods
Management Science and Information Systems
Principles of Management
Introduction to Marketing
No more
than 30 business, accounting, or economics transfer credits will be
accepted toward completion of a program in RBS.
Business courses completed more than seven years prior
to admittance into RBS will not be considered for transfer credit.
Comprehensive Statewide
Articulation Agreement
The agreement
with New Jersey community colleges and New Jersey public four-year
institutions provides a seamless transition from public associate to
public baccalaureate degree programs and supports the successful
acquisition of baccalaureate degrees by transfer students.
All students transferring with an A.A.
or an A.S. degree from a New Jersey community college within the past
three years may have satisfied all general education requirements.
Students may not be grandfathered into the program. Once a student is
enrolled, they may not return to their prior institution to earn an
A.A./A.S. degree. The A.A./A.S. degree must be completed before
enrolling at Rutgers–Newark .
Under extenuating circumstances, a student may be allowed to take a
course at Rutgers–Newark and transfer the credits back to the community
college in order to earn their degree. Students must get approval in
writing from both institutions prior to taking the course.
NJ Transfer
Rutgers participates
with the NJ Transfer Articulation System. NJ Transfer is a
computerized data information system designed to ease the transition
from these institutions to Rutgers. Students attending one of New
Jersey's two-year colleges can access the NJ Transfer website to obtain
detailed information about transferring to Rutgers. Students may
determine the transferability of the courses they are completing at
their community college.
