Eligibility requirements
 
XXX To be admitted to the school, applicants must satisfy a set of eligibility requirements consisting of three parts: courses, credits, and cumulative grade-point average. 

Course Requirement 
As a requirement for admission to the School of Management, students
must have completed the following or their equivalents with grades of C or better.

At the time students apply to the School of Management, need to have made substantial progress toward completion of this requirement.  Usually, all but 29:010:204 Introduction to Managerial Accounting and 21&62:220:231 Statistical Methods are completed during the first three terms, with these courses being completed while the application is being considered. Any offer of admission conditional on the course requirement being met prior to the beginning of a program at the School of Management and may be withdrawn if the requirement is not satisfied.  

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 which they are transferring are acceptable for meeting admission requirements.  

Credit Requirement  
To be considered for admission, a student needs to have either completed 56 credits of acceptable, accredited college or be enrolled in enough courses to achieve that total end of the current term. This frequently means that application is considered during the second term of the sophomore year with a provisional decision being made base on anticipated performance in that term. Students have completed 56 credits at the time they begin course work at the School of Management.  

**Students transferring to Rutgers who have less than 56 credits must first complete 24 credits at Rutgers with a cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 or 15 credits with cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 prior to admission to the School of Management.  

Cumulative Grade-Point Average Requirement  
Students must have achieved at least a cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 in the credits earned toward the baccalaureate degree when they submit an application admission to the School of Management. Since other factors are also relevant, meeting this requirement does not guarantee acceptance. The policy of the school is to give preference to Rutgers-Newark students whenever practicable.
