All candidates for the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree are required to demonstrate minimum proficiency in mathematics by satisfying one of the following criteria:
1. Successful completion, with a grade of C or better, of 21:640:106
(Mathematics for Liberal Arts), 21:640:107 College Algebra for the Humanities and Social Sciences 21:640:108 College Algebra for Business or 21:640:109 College Algebra for the Physical Sciences or any more advanced course in mathematics offered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
2. Successful completion, with a grade of C or better, of a college-level mathematics course equivalent to 21:640:109 College Algebra for the Physical Sciences, 21:640:114 Pre-calculus, 21:640:119 Basic Calculus, or 21: 640:135 Calculus I at another institution.
3. Satisfactory performance on a proficiency examination administered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (prior to the start of the fall 2012 semester).
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science will cease offering the proficiency examination as of the fall 2012 semester, so performance on it no longer will be a possible option for demonstrating mathematics proficiency.
Students who have not otherwise satisfied the proficiency requirement before matriculation in the Newark College of Arts and Sciences must enroll in the mathematics course prescribed by the placement standards at the college and continue to enroll each and every semester until the requirement is satisfied.
Students not adhering to these guidelines may be required to carry a reduced credit load and to defer their probable date of graduation.
For additional information on the specific courses that fulfill this requirement, consult the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs (http://www.rutgers-newark.rutgers.edu/dsanwk/gened.html).
