Catalog Navigator : Graduation Requirements

Graduation requirements consist of general education requirements plus school graduation requirements. School graduation requirements consist of basic requirements and major requirements that are specific to the school or college.

Students admitted to Rutgers University-Camden who have an associate of arts (A.A.) or associate of science (A.S.) degree from a New Jersey community college dated January 2005 or thereafter will be considered to have satisfied the requirements for general education courses. These students must still satisfy any additional graduation requirements of the school to which they are admitted. The Office of New Student Programs determines whether any of these graduation requirements have been met based on documentation of the specific courses taken when the student transfers with an A.A. or A.S. degree.

No exemptions are made.
