Credits and Residency


Students must complete a prescribed program of study in their declared major, outlined in the Programs of Study chapter, including the distribution requirements for departmental, technical, general, and humanities/social sciences electives. The total number of credits required for graduation varies from 123 to 135 credits in the four-year program, depending on the student's major.

Students in the five-year, dual-degree (B.S./B.A. or B.S./B.S.) program must complete an additional 30 credits of electives acceptable toward the second degree and must plan a total program that satisfies all the degree requirements of both the School of Engineering and the school offering the second degree. See the Programs of Study chapter for further information.

No degree is awarded to any student who has earned fewer than 30 credits at Rutgers. Not more than 12 of the last 42 credits for the degree may be taken outside Rutgers.
