Transfer students may be accepted into Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark (RBS) directly with indication of a business major on their initial Rutgers University-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 University Undergraduate Admissions at http://admissions.rutgers.edu, indicating a major within 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 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.

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

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 associate in arts (A.A.)
or an associate in science (A.S.) degree from a New Jersey community college within the past
three years may 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.
