rutgers newark business school transfer requirements
Last Updated on August 12, 2023 by Oluwajuwon Alvina
In order to be eligible for admission for fall 2022, applicants must have completed a minimum of an equivalent to Precalculus 01:640:115 and two of the six pre-business courses listed below with grades of at least a “C” by the end of the spring 2022 semester:
- 33:010:272 Introduction to Financial Accounting
- 01:198:170 Computer Applications to Business
- 01:220:102 Introduction to Microeconomics
- 01:220:103 Introduction to Macroeconomics
- 01:640:135 Calculus I
- 01:960:285 Introductory Statistics for Business
Once a student is admitted to Rutgers Business School Undergraduate – New Brunswick, they must complete all six pre-business courses with grades of “C” or better before they may declare a major. Students planning to declare a major in accounting must have completed Intro. to Financial Accounting with a minimum grade of “B.”
Students completing any of the six pre-business courses at schools other than Rutgers University-New Brunswick should determine the transferability of the course before enrolling in the course. If the course does not transfer as an equivalent to the Rutgers-New Brunswick course, the course will not satisfy the eligibility requirement for Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate – New Brunswick admission.
Students who must repeat pre-business courses originally taken at Rutgers University – New Brunswick in which they received less than a grade of “C” may only repeat these courses at Rutgers University – New Brunswick. This policy also applies to prospective accounting majors who received less than a grade of “B” in Intro. to Financial Accounting.
Students may apply for admission only if they anticipate completing 24 or more Rutgers credits (sophomore standing) by the end of the spring 2022 semester. Please note that we will accept spring 2022 transfer students to the New Brunswick campus with only 12 Rutgers credits.
Cumulative GPA Requirement
Because admission to Rutgers Business School Undergraduate – New Brunswick is highly competitive and the number of applications and spaces available in the school may vary from one application cycle to the next, the cumulative grade-point average needed for admission may also vary from one application cycle to the next.
**Once a student graduates with an Associate’s Degree from a community college, RBS does not accept any additional classes or credits taken at that school or any other community college**
Students who are registered during the spring 2022 semester at another Rutgers University School and who will have attained a minimum of 24 Rutgers credits by the end of the spring 2022 semester will have an opportunity to apply to RBS New Brunswick for fall 2022 using a school-to-school transfer application. To apply, please visit the school-to-school transfer website. RBS New Brunswick accepts school-to-school transfers for the fall semester only. Students interested in applying for fall 2022 may submit a school-to-school online transfer application between February 1 & April 30, 2022. Decisions will be sent out on June 30, 2022.
The Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick offers six majors leading to the Bachelor of Science degree: accounting (010), business analytics and information technology (136), finance (390), leadership and management (605), marketing (630), and supply chain management (799). School-to-school transfer students are admitted into the second and third years of the program, upon meeting specific course and GPA requirements.
Admission is competitive, based on a limited number of seats available for the fall 2022 semester. Therefore, the criteria outlined below are minimum requirements and do not guarantee admission to the Rutgers Business School-New Brunswick (RBS-NB) undergraduate program. It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with all relevant information. Applications will be reviewed once spring grades have been posted. Summer 2022 coursework will NOT be included in the review. You will not be admitted to RBS-NB if you have any unresolved (i.e. not yet repeated) D, F, NC or TZ grades in pre-business courses, at the time you are applying.
