Students apply to either CCAS or NCAS and attend one of these colleges for the first two years of the program. After two years, students transfer to the School of Engineering in New Brunswick and come under the academic jurisdiction of that college for the remaining three years. At that time, the student chooses a liberal arts college in New Brunswick (Douglass College, Livingston College, or Rutgers College) with which to affiliate for student services. During the first term of enrollment in New Brunswick, the student applies to one of the liberal arts colleges for admission for the second degree. If accepted, the student must satisfy that college`s requirements for the B.A. degree. The B.A. degree in a liberal arts or science discipline and the B.S. degree in engineering are both conferred at the end of the fifth year.
Elective courses during the first two years must be selected with the aid and approval of the student`s faculty adviser in Camden or Newark. See the respective catalogs for CCAS and NCAS for information on suitable electives for the first two years. Also see the paragraph on the distribution of electives under the five-year B.A./B.S. program in New Brunswick earlier in this chapter.
