The total number of credits required for graduation varies from 120
to 129 credits, depending on the student's major program. In no
instance may a student graduate with fewer than 120 credits and a
cumulative grade-point average of less than 2.0.
The residency
requirement varies by program. Transfer students normally should expect
to spend a minimum of two years in the music program. Three years of
resident study should be expected in the dance, theater arts, and
visual arts programs. Four years of resident study is expected in the
theater arts acting concentration. Visual arts transfer students must
earn at least 30 credits in studio art courses (081) and fulfill the
required 12 credits of critical study coursework (080) at Mason Gross
School of the Arts.
Each candidate for the bachelor's degree must earn a minimum of 30 of the last 42 credits at Rutgers.
