Rutgers
Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick (RBS-NB) students may be awarded transfer
credit for business and/or liberal arts courses from NJ community colleges,
other NJ colleges or universities, colleges or universities outside of NJ or
internationally under the following circumstances:
Transfer Credits for Business Courses:
In
order to receive a degree from the RBS-NB, the
student must take at least 45 business credits in the RBS-NB program.
With the exception of Introduction to Financial
Accounting (33:010:272) and Introduction to Managerial Accounting (33:010:275),
the RBS-NB 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-NB. An
upper-level course taken at another institution is considered for transfer
to RBS-NB 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 University-New Brunswick
course by the faculty of RBS-NB.
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.
RBS-NB does not award credit
for extension, professional, 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 RBS-NB, 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 RBS-NB 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."
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 RBS-NB program.
Transfer from Military Experience:
RBS may offer 6 elective credits for military service to
a student after completing basic and annual training, which is reflected on the
DD214.
The credits
would be transferred as:
-
03:691:101 Foundation of Officership (1.5 Credits)
-
03:691:102
Basic Leadership (1.5 Credits)
-
03:691:201 Individual Leadership (1.5 Credits)
-
03:691:202 Leadership & Teamwork (1.5 Credits)
Summer and Winter Session Courses: Students may
not take business courses outside of Rutgers-New Brunswick. All business
courses must be taken on the Rutgers-New Brunswick campus, with the exception
of Introduction to Financial Accounting and Introduction to Managerial
Accounting, which may be taken at another school (including Rutgers
University-Newark and Rutgers University-Camden) ONLY with preapproval from our
office, and ONLY if the course is not being repeated. We will not grant
permission for either of these two courses to be taken outside of Rutgers-New
Brunswick during the winter session. Accounting majors must take both Financial
and Managerial Accounting at Rutgers-New Brunswick. RBS-NB will not
grant credit for any online business courses outside of Rutgers-New Brunswick.
Students who wish to take non-business Summer or
Winter Session courses at other institutions must obtain prior approval from departments
offering similar courses at Rutgers and from the dean's office. Students must
fill out a Transfer
Credit Preapproval form to receive prior approval for courses they intend
to take for credit at another college or university. All
coursework must be completed with grades of C or better to transfer; credits
transfer but the grade does not. For example, students cannot improve their GPA
at Rutgers by taking a course offered at a community county college over the
summer and earning an A in it. Summer Session courses taken at Rutgers-New
Brunswick do count toward your GPA.
Students who wish to take a course at a
community college must fill out a Transfer
Credit Preapproval form to receive prior approval for courses before they register, or the course may not be accepted for transfer. In order to obtain
course numbers, you can look them up on njtransfer.org
and to make certain that the course transfers to Rutgers.
Courses must be a minimum of four weeks in duration
(five weeks for math) or they will not transfer to Rutgers.
Due to suspected
fraudulent activity, RBS-NB will no longer
preapprove summer or winter session courses offered by overseas institutions,
outside of participation in a Rutgers-sponsored study abroad program.
Avoid third-party agents
that advertise summer or winter session courses purportedly offered by a U.S.
college or university. Often, these agents are not authorized to act on these
schools behalf and the course offerings either no longer exist or are outright
fraudulent. RBS-NB will not pre-approve
courses offered through such third-party agents.
If you are going to be overseas
a RBS-NB or a N.J. community college online
summer course. Please fill out a Transfer
Credit Preapproval form to receive prior approval for courses before you register.
