Graduation Requirements for the Major


All students, regardless of matriculation date must complete a minimum of 20 credits of microbiology major coursework from among the required and elective courses (Area VIII). Proficiency in microbiology, not including quantitative skills (8 credits), must be completed in residence. Of these 20 credits, at least 12 credits must be completed from 680 courses. This rule is intended to assure that students receiving degrees from Rutgers University-New Brunswick have taken a minimum number of courses in their major with New Brunswick faculty. Please keep in mind that although a course may transfer from another institution into one of the Rutgers-New Brunswick schools, it will not necessarily be accepted toward the major in microbiology. Therefore, transfer courses must be evaluated and accepted by the undergraduate program director in order to count toward the major.

For an up-to-date description of microbiology major requirements, courses, and course sequences please refer to the program webpage at https://dbm.rutgers.edu/microbiology.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS - SEBS UNDERGRADUATE CORE CURRICULUM (39 credits)

Experiential Learning (3 credits) Students must participate in a certified experience that meets this goal [EL]

Natural Sciences (6 credits)Two courses, one each in two of the following areas: physical, biological, or environmental sciences [NS]

Historical Analysis (3 credits) One course [HST]

Social Analysis (6 credits) Two courses, one in either social/cultural analysis or economic analysis, and one in governmental and regulatory analysis [SCL]

Arts and Humanities (3 credits) One course [AH]

Writing and Communication (6 credits) 01:355:101 or its equivalent [WC] and one course in communicating effectively in modes appropriate to a discipline or area of inquiry [WCD]
