Every student must successfully complete 6 credits in history offered by the Department of History and 6 credits in literature offered by the Department of English, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies, or the Department of African American and African Studies. Literature courses may be taken in the original language or in translation.
Successful completion of English Composition is a prerequisite for enrolling in the history and literature courses. Students who choose a literature course in an original language must fulfill language prerequisites for that course as well.
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).
