To be admitted to the school, students must satisfy a set of
eligibility requirements that consists of three parts: courses,
credits, and cumulative grade-point average. Fulfillment of these
minimum requirements, however, does not ensure admission to the school.
Course Requirements. Applicants must complete the
following six eligibility courses with grades of C or better
before they can begin study in the Rutgers Business School:
Undergraduate-New Brunswick:
33:010:272 Introduction to Financial Accounting (3) *
01:198:170 Computer Applications for Business (3) **
01:220:102 Introduction to Microeconomics (3)
01:220:103 Introduction to Macroeconomics (3)
01:640:135 Calculus I (4) **
01:960:285 Introductory Statistics for Business (3) **
Students completing any of the six eligibility courses at schools other
than those at Rutgers-New Brunswick should determine the
transferability of the course before enrolling in the course. If
the course does not transfer as an equivalent to the Rutgers-New
Brunswick course, the course will not satisfy the eligibility
requirement for Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick
admission.
Applicants to the Rutgers Business School:
Undergraduate-New Brunswick must have made substantial progress toward
completion of the six eligibility courses and must be in the process of
completing the remaining courses by the time they submit an
application. Normally, students complete the following four courses
prior to submitting the application:
01:198:170 Computer Applications for Business (3) **
01:220:102 Introduction to Microeconomics (3)
01:220:103 Introduction to Macroeconomics (3)
01:640:135 Calculus I (4) **
Students usually register for the remaining courses while their application is being evaluated:
33:010:272 Introduction to Financial Accounting (3) *
01:960:285 Introductory Statistics for Business (3) **
Admission is contingent upon the successful completion of all of the
eligibility courses with grades of C or better. If the course
requirements are not satisfied prior to the start of the fall term
immediately following the student`s acceptance, the offer of admission
is withdrawn.
Credit Requirement. Students should
apply for admission only if they anticipate completing 54 or more
degree credits before beginning their business programs. If at least 54
credits are not achieved by the beginning of the fall term into which
the student was admitted to the school, the offer of admission is
withdrawn and the student is not permitted to enroll in RBS-UNB
courses.
Cumulative Grade-Point Requirement. Because
admission to the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick
is highly competitive and the number of applications and spaces
available in the school may vary from one application cycle to the
next, the cumulative grade-point average needed for admission also may
vary from one application cycle to the next. The Faculty Advisory
Committee on Admissions for the Rutgers Business School:
Undergraduate-New Brunswick determines the cumulative grade-point
average needed for admission each application cycle. Students who
receive an offer of admission must maintain the grade-point
average set by the Faculty Advisory Committee on Admissions until study
in the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick begins.
Students whose cumulative grade-point average falls below the stated
level are not permitted to enter the school. The Rutgers Business
School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick calculates the cumulative
grade-point average in a uniform manner regardless of the student's
undergraduate college.
Transfer students who are admitted into
the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick are admitted
based on the cumulative grade-point average from the college that they
most recently attended where they have completed 12 or more credits. In
addition, transfer students who have been admitted simultaneously into
the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick and one of the
liberal arts colleges at Rutgers-New Brunswick/Piscataway must
maintain the cumulative grade-point average stated in their letter of
admission through their first 12 degree credits at Rutgers-New
Brunswick/Piscataway.
Normally, students who plan to apply to
the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick should satisfy
their college's area distribution requirements as well as the business
school's eligibility requirements during their first 60 credits.
Students already enrolled at one of the liberal arts colleges should,
during their first year, declare a prebusiness curriculum (006). To
make this declaration, students should consult with the Office of the
Dean for Academic Services/Student Services at their liberal arts
college.
