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 University-Newark application.

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.

As per the transfer credit policy found elsewhere in this catalog, the maximum number of credits transferred may not exceed 90 credits from a four-year institution, 60-65 of which may be from a two-year college. The maximum number of credits accepted from a two-year college is the number of credits required to earn the associate in arts or associate in science degree, not to exceed 65 credits in any case.

Academic Credit for Transfer Courses

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

Credit accepted by Rutgers is awarded toward the total 120 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 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.

As per the policy found elsewhere in this catalog, students who have completed an A.A. or A.S. degree from a New Jersey county college in January 2005 or thereafter and who have completed the required general education curriculum specified in the New Jersey Comprehensive State-Wide Transfer Agreement as a part of their degree, will have 60-65 degree credits transferred toward a baccalaureate degree program. These transfer students will be considered to have completed all lower-division core curriculum requirements, which include all of the requirements listed under the Degree Requirements section of this catalog except Writing across the Curriculum.

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.
