Proficiency Examinations

Students may satisfy prerequisites and sometimes earn credit through individual examinations offered by certain academic departments at Rutgers.

Prior approval by the School of Arts and Sciences and the appropriate academic department is required before seeking credit through examination; approval by the major department is also required for credit in the major field. The awarding of credits through these methods is very rare and decisions are made on a course-by-course basis.
