This catalog includes all undergraduate education at Rutgers University–New Brunswick.

The catalog begins with the Programs of Study and Courses for Liberal Arts Students section, a large A-to-Z listing of undergraduate programs and courses offered by several faculties, principally to students at the School of Arts and Sciences. Students should also consult the School of Arts and Sciences section, which includes important information about the school's specific aims, policies, academic programs, and degree requirements.

The professional school sections include similar school information and also include detailed programs of study and course listing chapters covering the academic programs offered by each of their faculties. Professional students also should refer to the large introductory A-to-Z listing both for courses required in their curriculum that are taught by other faculties and for elective courses in the arts and sciences.

In general, individual undergraduate courses offered at Rutgers in New Brunswick are open to students at all the undergraduate schools, subject to prerequisite restrictions and space limitations.

The General Information chapters later in the catalog are relevant for students at all the undergraduate schools in New Brunswick. It is important for students to familiarize themselves with these chapters as well as with their own particular school's section.

Some courses are cross-listed in more than one department. Students should note that a cross-listed course is the same course listed under two or more subject indexes.
