High School Pre-College Coursework
Under New Jersey state law, approved courses in high school may be taken for college credit. These courses are usually referred to as dual enrollment courses. Students should consult with an academic advisor at the Business School to determine if these courses qualify for credit at Rutgers Business School and if they provide an adequate background as a prerequisite to the next level of coursework at Rutgers.
Most dual enrollment courses completed at New Jersey community colleges can be looked up at the website NJtransfer.org, to verify eligibility for transfer credit.
New first-year students may may refuse some dual enrollment credits if they are concerned about being prepared for the next level course at Rutgers.
All official transcripts of dual enrollment pre-college coursework must be sent by the college to Undergraduate Admissions, CEEB code 2765. The first-year deans will evaluate and process those credits in the fall semester of the student's first year.
Most Advanced Placement credits are accepted by the Rutgers Business School with scores of 4 or 5.
Most International Baccalaureate credits are accepted by the Rutgers Business School if they are Higher Level (not Standard Level) with scores of 5, 6, or 7.
