Programs of Study

The business studies program is only part of the student's academic program. Students will complement their professional education with coursework in the humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, and social and behavioral sciences. In order to design an integrated academic program, full-time students should plan their program over four years. During the first three semesters, the student should formulate a schedule that is comprised of the six eligibility courses and liberal arts core curriculum requirements. During the remaining five semesters, the schedule focuses on completing the remaining credits required of the business major. Students should also plan to take additional general elective credits to ensure that their total degree credits equals 120, the number of credits needed for the bachelor of science degree. Business majors should consult with a Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate–New Brunswick (RBS-UNB) student counselor when they are planning their academic program.

The following are eligibility courses that students must complete during their first three semesters and before they are eligible to take additional business courses:

Eligibility Courses (19 credits)

  01:198:170  Computer Applications for Business (3)

Liberal Arts Core Curriculum Requirements (minimum 27 credits)

In addition to the six eligibility courses and courses that are required for the major, all Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate–New Brunswick students must complete the following liberal arts core curriculum requirements: 1. 21st-Century Challenges (2 courses), 2. Areas of Inquiry (6 courses), 3. Cognitive Skills and Processes (6 courses). All courses must be at least 3 credits and must be taken for degree credit. Pass/no credit courses may not be used to fulfill these requirements. Students should see Degree Navigator (http://nbdn.rutgers.edu/) for specific courses.

Major Requirements (52-58 credits)

The major requirements for Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate–New Brunswick programs of study can be divided into two parts: business core course requirements that all students must complete regardless of their choice of major program (accounting, finance, management, marketing, or supply chain management and marketing science), and a combination of required and elective courses that students take according to their choice of major. A revised major in management science and information systems (MSIS) with a concentration in business analytics and information technology (BAIT) is anticipated to be available beginning with the fall 2012 semester. Students must complete the requirements of the major that are in effect at the time of their admission into the major. All core courses and required courses specific to the major must be completed with a grade of C or better.
