Electives comprise 6-15 credits, depending on whether the student accrues credit from, internships, experiential education in applied contexts, and/or faculty-supervised independent study. Electives may be filled by approved courses throughout Rutgers University.
Special topical colloquia of 1 to 3 credits. Two colloquia are required.
Advisers will be assigned based on individual students' interest areas. Requests for transfer credits will be considered after a student has been admitted.
