Placement Test are awarded degree credit for 01:355:101.
2. An
additional course, beyond 01:355:101 Expository Writing, selected from
a list approved by the Rutgers College curriculum committee and
distributed to first-year and transfer students and posted on the
Rutgers College web site. With the exception of courses that transfer
as 01:355:102 or 201, the second writing course must be taken at
Rutgers-New Brunswick.
In addition to 01:355:101
Expository Writing, 01:355: 098 Composition Skills and 01:355:100 Basic
Composition are graduation requirements for students who, in the
judgment of the Department of English, show need for additional work in
composition. Beginning with the writing course identified by the
Department of English, students must register for and complete
composition courses in consecutive terms, with no hiatus, until they
have passed 01:355:101 Expository Writing. Students who fail either
01:355:100 or 01:355:101 two times may register only for English 100 or
101 until they successfully complete the course.
English 01:355:098, 100, and 101 do not fulfill any other general education, major, or minor requirements.

environmental science (375), geological sciences (460), meteorology
(670), or physics (750) Independent study, internships, and
research courses may not be used to fulfill this requirement.
D. Social Science
