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 or
program director. 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 coursework
taken under the student's area of concentration. In general, no
more than 3 credits of undergraduate coursework 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.
