Earning Credit


Placement Tests

AP and CLEP tests can be used to satisfy the liberal arts total credit requirement and the general education distribution requirement as long as college credits have been awarded for the work and these credits are reflected on an official undergraduate transcript.

Transfer Courses

Students may count courses taken at a community college toward satisfying GSE general education requirements for the following areas: arts, humanities, math, science, and foreign languages, and toward the required 90 credits of liberal arts.

In cases where students are required to take specific courses that are offered at community colleges (830:101 or 300:200), students need to prove equivalency through NJ Transfer. No other GSE requirements can be satisfied with community college courses except in the case of social studies core curriculum content requirements.

Pass/No Credit Option

Graduate students may not take undergraduate liberal arts courses on a pass/no credit basis to satisfy the general education distribution requirement. However, these courses may be taken with an E-prefix. This prefix prevents the grade for the course from being used in the computation of the grade-point average.

An undergraduate student may take liberal arts courses pass/no credit to satisfy the general education distribution requirement providing approval to do so has been given by the student's undergraduate school.

Graduate Enrollment in Undergraduate Courses

Any course numbered 500 or above is designed for graduate students and normally carries credit toward one of the graduate degrees. Certain advanced undergraduate courses numbered in the 300s and 400s may also be approved for a given graduate student. In order to receive graduate credit for an undergraduate course, students must get explicit written approval from their adviser and must register for the 300- or 400-level course with a G-prefix.

The graduate portion (fifth year) of your program is minimally 30 credits; graduate electives must be taken AFTER you earn your B.A./B.S. degree as they are designed to be part of the fifth/graduate year.
