Course Transfers


A maximum of 6 credits from outside the journalism and media studies (JMS) program may be counted towards the major.

Students who wish to have a course they have taken elsewhere at Rutgers or at another university considered as one of their required or elective courses in the journalism and media studies major must submit a request in writing to the program. Courses taken at other New Jersey colleges and articulated through the NJ Transfer system do not have to be petitioned if they are recorded on a student's transcript with a JMS course number; however, such courses do count as transfer courses to the major.

To request a review of a class from outside the JMS program to be counted toward the major, students must submit a request that includes a copy of the full syllabus of the course, a copy of the transcript showing the grade achieved, the JMS course it will replace, and the reasons for consideration. The courses are evaluated in terms of their very close match of content and skills to the JMS course, the level of the course, and the grade achieved, which should typically be a B or better.
