Course Notation Information


Explanation of Three-Part Course Numbers

The number preceding each course title is divided into three parts. The first two digits are the administrative code (standing for a faculty or a school), the next three digits are the subject code, and the final three digits are the course code.

Administrative Codes

The following administrative codes are used in the RBS section of the catalog.

21        School of Arts & Sciences - Newark (SAS-N)

29        Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark (RBS)

Subject Codes

The subject code indicates the subject matter of the course. (This list does not constitute a list of majors; it indicates subject areas in which the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-Newark offers courses.)

  010    Accounting

  011    Administrative Sciences

  134   Business of Fashion

Course Codes

Courses coded from 100 to 299 indicate introductory and intermediate undergraduate courses. Codes from 300 to 499 indicate advanced undergraduate courses. Courses coded from 500 to 799 are graduate courses and are described in the graduate catalogs of the university.

Two course codes separated by a comma indicates that each semester course may be taken independently of the other, e.g., 29:630:498,499. Two course codes separated by a hyphen indicates that satisfactory completion of the first semester course is a prerequisite to the second semester, e.g., 29:010:201-202. The first semester may be taken for credit without the second, unless a statement is added to indicate that both semester courses must be completed in order to receive credit. 

Other Course Notation

BA  The number of credits is determined by arrangement with the department offering the course.

Prerequisites

Students are required to complete the prerequisite course or courses before enrolling in upper-level courses.
