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:
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)**
33:010:272 Introduction to Financial Accounting (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. Students who must repeat eligibility courses originally taken at Rutgers University-New Brunswick to maintain admission status into the Business School may only repeat these courses at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
Applicants to the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick must have made substantial progress toward completion of the six eligibility courses by the time they submit an application. 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prior to the start of the fall semester immediately following the student's acceptance, the offer of admission is withdrawn.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by the beginning of the fall semester into which the student was admitted to the school, the offer of admission is withdrawn and the student is not permitted to enroll in RBS-UNB courses.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 the School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers-New Brunswick must maintain the cumulative grade-point average stated in their letter of admission through their first 12 degree credits at Rutgers-New Brunswick. Transfer policies apply to all students including those transferring from other Rutgers campuses.
Normally, students who plan to apply to the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick should satisfy the School of Arts and Sciences minor requirements and area requirements as well as the business school's eligibility requirements during their first 60 credits. Students already enrolled at the School of Arts and Sciences 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 the School of Arts and Sciences.
