*General Education courses can be done in any order with the exception of INTD 101, CRWT and MATH. Those three general education courses will need to be done first. First Year Seminar is taken in the first semester. Failure to complete CRWT and MATH will result in a hold when the student hits 64 credits. The following general education courses can be done in any order. For more info on these courses, please visit the General Education program requirements website in the College Catalog:
+W: Students transferring in with 48 or more credits are waived from these general education requirements.
* These courses are offered in alternate years, which would require prior planning by the student. Immunology is offered in even years; Histology in odd years.
**Gen Ed Distribution Categories: two of the three categories are required. One course must be outside of the School of Science, Nursing, and Health.
In case the course is offered in student’s year 2, these courses should be taken then, and the Gen Ed course can be taken in year 3.
NOTE: Student’s application to SHRP is due in the fall of year 3, to start the program after the spring. (Rutgers Program is > 15 months, beginning in the summer of year 3.)
Note: Three writing intensive courses are required in the major and /or school core. Consult with your advisor.
