The university`s Gateway Program provides special academic courses to students who, based on their placement test results, show need for remedial work in English and mathematics. The program offers courses in biology, chemistry, history, philosophy, physics, psychology, and sociology. These courses are designed to strengthen skills and to offer students the best chance of succeeding at Rutgers. Students who place into the program are notified by the dean of first-year students during the summer prior to their first term at the college and are assisted in making appropriate changes to their fall program.
