With the exception of Introduction to Financial Accounting (33:010:272) and Introduction to Managerial Accounting (33:010:275), the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick offers all business courses for major credit at the upper-division level (300 or 400 level). Courses that are equivalent to 33:011:100 Introduction to Business may transfer for degree credit but do not apply toward any business major requirements. No additional business courses taken at the 100 or 200 level at other schools will transfer to RBS-UNB. An upper-level course taken at another institution is considered for transfer to Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick only if the transferring school is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and if the course is evaluated and approved as equivalent to the Rutgers–New Brunswick course by the faculty of RBS-UNB.
In order for students to receive transfer credit for Introduction to Financial Accounting and Introduction to Managerial Accounting, the courses must be evaluated by the Department of Accounting and Information Systems and transferred as equivalent to the courses listed below:
33:010:272 Introduction to Financial Accounting
33:010:275 Introduction to Managerial Accounting
Credit is accepted in transfer only if the grade earned is equivalent to at least a C (2.000).
Transfer Credit for Liberal Arts Courses.
Students who were formerly matriculated at accredited institutions outside of Rutgers University may be granted transfer credit for liberal arts courses subject to the evaluation of the course(s) by the appropriate academic department. Credit is accepted in transfer only if the grade earned is equivalent to at least a C (2.000). Grades from institutions other than Rutgers are not included on the Rutgers transcript or in the cumulative grade-point average.
The Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick does not award credit for extension, professional, military, technical training, and continuing education courses.
Transfer from New Jersey County or Community Colleges.
In the case of students who successfully complete an associate degree (A.A. or A.S.) transfer program at any public New Jersey county or community college and apply and are admitted directly to Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick, academic courses taken at the community college awarding the degree and required for that degree program are accepted for transfer credit, up to a total of 60 credits. Students will not be granted equivalent credit for business courses taken at county or community colleges if the course is offered at Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick at the 300 or 400 level.
Transfer credits from New Jersey county or community colleges for students who did not earn an associate degree are reviewed according to the policies outlined above in "Transfer Credits for Business Courses" and "Transfer Credit for Liberal Arts Courses."
Dual Enrollment Coursework.
Under New Jersey state law, approved courses in high school may be taken for college credit. Students should consult with the Business School first-year dean in the fall to determine if these courses qualify for credit at Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick and whether or not they actually provide an adequate background as a prerequisite to the next level course at Rutgers.
Please note that njtransfer.org alone cannot be used to determine course equivalencies for courses taken at NJ community colleges while the student is in high school or for courses taken at the high school and recorded on a college transcript. Many courses with Rutgers equivalents in njtransfer.org may transfer as general elective credit or may not transfer at all if taken while the student was in high school. All transcripts of college-level coursework must be sent to the Business School Office of the Dean for a complete evaluation. These evaluations normally take place in the first semester at Rutgers.
There will be no exceptions to these dual enrollment policies. For questions about dual enrollment credits, please contact the RBS first-year dean at frosh@business.rutgers.edu.
Transfer from Colleges or Universities Outside the United States.
Students who wish to obtain liberal arts transfer credit for courses taken at institutions outside the United States must provide a
course-by-course
evaluation from an acceptable professional evaluation service or a
review of course syllabi and transcripts by the appropriate Rutgers academic department. Business courses are not accepted for transfer from outside the United States unless evaluated and approved by the Rutgers Business School:Undergraduate-New Brunswick program.
