Undergraduate courses may be taken for graduate credit while a student is matriculated in the program. They are taken only when
no comparable graduate courses are available within the Rutgers
University system and only under the guided supervision of the
student's faculty adviser. Undergraduate courses to be taken for
graduate credit must be reviewed and approved by the faculty adviser
and by the program director. The faculty adviser supervises the writing
of a paper that integrates the material in the undergraduate course
with the course work taken under the student's area of concentration.
In general, no more than 3 credits of undergraduate course work
taken while the student is in the graduate program may be applied to
the graduate degree. A form is available from the Office of Student and
Academic Services. When registering, the student must insert a G prefix
before the course number in order to receive graduate credit. Students
who have taken an undergraduate course without the G prefix will
find that the transcript indicates the course does not count toward
their graduate degree.
