  Newark Undergraduate Catalog 2008-2010 Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark Admission Transfer Students From Other Institutions  

Transfer Students From Other Institutions


Transfer students may be accepted into Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark (RBS) directly with indication of a business major on their initial Rutgers-Newark application. RBS students are jointly enrolled in the Newark College of Arts and Sciences and Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark..

Those applying from outside Rutgers as transfer students should apply online through the Office of Admissions at http://admissions.rutgers.edu, indicating a major within the RBS.

Students transferring from other schools should consult with admissions counselors to learn if any articulation agreements are in place to define which courses at the school from which they are transferring are acceptable for meeting admission requirements. Please note the information on NJ Transfer. In addition, business courses taken at RBS or any other institution more than seven years prior to a student's enrollment into the RBS will not be accepted.

Academic Credit for Transfer Courses

Transfer students who are accepted into Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark have their credits evaluated by an RBS academic adviser.

Credit accepted by Rutgers is awarded toward the total 124 credits needed for graduation. However, certain courses in business, while credited toward the degree, may not be accepted for specific course requirements in the programs offered by the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark.

The following courses are accepted if passed with a grade of C or better when the syllabus or course description indicates the course is equivalent to that offered at Rutgers:

  Introduction to Financial Accounting

  Introduction to Managerial Accounting

  Business Law (for accounting majors) 

  Introduction to Economics: Micro

  Introduction to Economics: Macro

  Statistical Methods

  Management Information Systems 

  Principles of Management

  Introduction to Marketing

No more than 30 business, accounting, or economics transfer credits will be accepted toward completion of a program in RBS.

Business courses completed more than seven years prior to admittance into RBS will not be considered for transfer credit.


Comprehensive Statewide Articulation Agreement


The agreement with New Jersey community colleges and New Jersey public four-year institutions provides a seamless transition from public associate to public baccalaureate degree programs and supports the successful acquisition of baccalaureate degrees by transfer students.

 

All students transferring with an A.A. or an A.S. degree from a New Jersey community college within the past three years will have satisfied all general education requirements. Students may not be grandfathered into the program. Once a student is enrolled, they may not return to their prior institution to earn an A.A./A.S. degree. The A.A./A.S. degree must be completed before enrolling at Rutgers-Newark.

 

Under extenuating circumstances, a student may be allowed to take a course at Rutgers-Newark and transfer the credits back to the community college in order to earn their degree. Students must get approval in writing from both institutions prior to taking the course.



NJ Transfer

 

Rutgers participates with the NJ Transfer Articulation System.  NJ Transfer is a computerized data information system designed to ease the transition from these institutions to Rutgers. Students attending one of New Jersey's two-year colleges can access the NJ Transfer website to obtain detailed information about transferring to Rutgers. Students may determine the transferability of the courses they are completing at their community college.
