Students who have already completed a bachelor's degree at an accredited college or university may pursue a second bachelor's degree at the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) in a major area entirely different from their previous major.
If you intend to take a course which requires a pre-requisite, you may be required to take a placement test. Students with international bachelor's degrees are required to take the English placement test.
- A minimum of 30 credits at Rutgers University-New Brunswick beyond those applied to the initial degree
- All requirements for a new major
Students may apply approved coursework completed during the first degree toward the Areas of Inquiry and Cognitive Skills and Processes components of the Core Curriculum. However, all second-degree candidates must complete at least the Contemporary Challenges [CC] learning goals and one Writing and Communication with revision [WCr] course at Rutgers-New Brunswick as part of the second degree; courses taken as part of the first degree cannot be used to satisfy these requirements. Second Degree students are not eligible to have their SAS Core Curriculum waived through the New Jersey Statewide Transfer Agreement (NJSWTA).
Two baccalaureate degrees may not be earned concurrently except through approved dual-degree programs, such as that between SAS and the School of Engineering. Students who complete multiple majors earn a single bachelor's degree.
