Teaching Credit for Faculty in RBS

The Dean of the Rutgers Business does not permit departments to give faculty members credit for teaching a doctoral course unless the course enrolls at least five students. However, a faculty member will receive partial credit (1/5 of a course for each student enrolled) in doctoral sections that enroll fewer than 5 students but have been approved by the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee of the Rutgers-Newark Graduate School (this includes all courses on our course list except those numbered 685, 688, or 799).

Rutgers Business faculty members also receive credit for teaching 1/5 of a course each time they teach a first or second early research requirement (686 or 687). A student may enroll in each early research requirement course only once.

In addition, the Dean has agreed to consider giving full teaching credit for the following courses:

  • 26:010:651 Advanced Topics in Financial Accounting
  • 26:010:652 Advanced Topics in Managerial Accounting
  • 26:010:653 Current Topics in Auditing
  • 26:010:680 Current Topics in Accounting Research
  • 26:390:571 Survey of Financial Theory I
  • 26:390:572 Survey of Financial Theory II
  • 26:390:661 Corporate Finance
  • 26:390:662 Investment Analysis and Portfolio Theory
  • 26:390:668 Empirical Finance
  • 26:198:721 Electronic Commerce
  • 26:198:722 Expert Systems
  • 26:198:731 Applications of Database Systems
  • 26:198:732 Multimedia Information Systems
  • 26:553:501 Global Strategic Management
  • 26:553:601 Theory of International Business
  • 26:711:651 Linear Programming
  • 26:711:652 Nonlinear Programming
  • 26:620:555 Seminar in Organizational Behavior
  • 26:620:556 Seminar in Organization Theory
  • 26:620:558 Seminar in Strategic Management

These courses are all major courses, are scheduled to be taught every second year, and should meet the threshold of five students given the number of students we are now able to admit with available teaching assistantships. Not included on this list are service courses, which cannot run unless they manage to attract students from several majors, and major courses not scheduled to be taught regularly.
