Students who know from their initial application to Rutgers-Newark that they wish to major in a business subject may automatically become majors upon admission to Rutgers, so long as they denote which of the four majors-accounting, management, finance, or marketing- is their choice. These students must still complete all the required prerequisite courses that other students in the major complete and maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 or better. A full-time student who, after four terms, does not meet the 2.50 requirement or the 56 credit requirement or the prerequisite courses requirement will merely be changed to a "prebusiness" category, and upon satisfactory completion of the missing courses or grades, be readmitted to the major. Note that when a student is readmitted to any business major, they are subject to the rules for graduation then in effect.
