General Education Requirements

Beginning with students entering in Fall 2017, Rutgers Camden has updated its graduation requirements to make them easier to understand and more clearly aligned with measurable learning goals. The updated requirements will allow students to transfer more easily from one school to another (for example, to transfer from Nursing to Arts and Sciences or from Arts and Sciences to Business). Students who are currently enrolled or who enroll before Fall 2017 can choose to follow the updated requirements or to follow the requirements in place at the time of their enrollment.

The requirements for graduation consist of the General Education Requirements, which will be the same for all undergraduate programs on the Rutgers-Camden campus, plus additional specific Graduation Requirements that are determined by each school or college. These specific graduation requirements include the number of course credits needed for graduation, the selection of a major program of study, and particular courses that must be taken to complete the curriculum for a given school or college.

This site describes the General Education Requirements that will apply to all undergraduate programs, beginning with first year students admitted in Fall 2017. The graduation requirements for each school or college can be found using the following links:

College of Arts and Sciences Graduation Requirements
School of Business Graduation Requirements
School of Nursing Graduation Requirements

Students admitted to Rutgers-Camden prior to Fall 2017 can choose to follow the new graduation requirements or to follow the graduation requirements already in place in the school or college in which the student is enrolled.

First-Year Students admitted to Rutgers-Camden starting in Fall 2017 and thereafter will follow the New Graduation Requirements.

Transfer Students admitted to Rutgers-Camden in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 can choose to follow the new requirements or to follow the previous graduation requirements as noted above.

Transfer Students admitted to Rutgers-Camden starting in Fall 2018 and thereafter will follow the New Graduation Requirements.

New General Education Requirements

Undergraduate students admitted to any school in Rutgers-Camden will need to satisfy two sets of requirements for graduate - the General Education Requirements and the School/College Requirements.

The General Education Requirements are the same for all students for all schools and consist of 30 credits of courses in the following categories:

FOUNDATIONS COURSES (6 Total Credits)
Communications

CROSS CUTTING COURSES (one course from any category for a total of 3 credits)
Diversity (DIV)
Engaged Civic Learning (ECL)
Experiential Learning (XPL)

*NOTE: Students admitted to Rutgers-Camden with an AA or AS Degree from an accredited community college in New Jersey have automatically satisfied the General Education Requirements and have completed 60 credits of coursework toward their undergraduate degree.

Departments wishing to have courses evaluated to have them meet one of the New General Requirement categories should reference the information and the forms on the General Education Course Information Page.

School/College Graduation Requirements

The School/College Requirements are in addition to the General Education Requirements, and are different for each of the undergraduate schools. Completion of an AA or AS degree does not automatically satisfy these requirements, but your transfer credits may include courses that satisfy individual course requirements. See your academic advisor for complete details.

Art and Aesthetic Interpretation (AAI)

Art, Aesthetics, and Theories of Interpretation offers students an introduction to art, broadly defined to encompass written, oral, aural, visual, and kinesthetic forms.

Upon completing a course in this category, students should be able to do at least three of the following:

Define, evaluate, and use critical vocabulary that facilitates the analysis of both artistic form and content.
Explore the boundaries of what constitutes art, as well as its role in society and in our lives.

Situate works or art or literature in their relevant historical, cultural and intellectual contexts.
Construct creative and cogent interpretations of art or literature in written, oral, visual, or digital presentations.

Global Communities (GCM)

Taking a variety of disciplinary approaches to the examination of societies, economies, and political systems, as well as ideas and beliefs and how they are formed, courses in Global Communities should introduce students to the diverse ways in which humans have organized their social relations.

Analyze a cultural, economic, environmental, geographic, historical, political, linguistic or literary, scientific and/or sociological issue facing one or more countries or globally.

Logical and Quantitative Reasoning (LQR)

Logical and quantitative reasoning are among the fundamental ways of developing arguments and evidence in support of claims, theories, and hypotheses. These approaches utilize a combination of inductive, deductive, mathematical or statistical approaches. Courses meeting this requirement will expose students to the principles governing logical inference, the rationale behind prediction, risk, decision making, and estimation, and the fundamental mathematical principles governing physical and natural laws. Upon completing a course in this category, students should be able to do at least two of the following:

Analyze and evaluate mathematical or logical arguments.
Demonstrate an understanding of the scope and limitations of logical reasoning, including the nature of rational norms, formal languages, and logical paradoxes.
Describe and assess different methods of gathering information.
Demonstrate the ability to comprehend quantitative information embedded in common language and, conversely, to present quantitative information in well-written essays.
Acquire a basic understanding of the quantification of risk.
Propose and validate models, as well as use them for predicting future outcomes.
Formulate well-organized conclusions supported by quantitative evidence and statistical inference.

Experiential Learning (XPL)

Experiential Learning (XPL) courses must include the following characteristics and address the following student learning outcomes:

Course and Partnership Characteristics:

Experiential learning courses must offer formal, supervised settings in which educators purposefully engage with students in direct experience and focused reflection to increase knowledge, develop skills, and utilize theory in applied practice. Courses that involve activities outside the classroom must provide adequate preparation and support for such activities.
Course-specific learning outcomes will reflect the goals of the specific discipline(s) and be met through hands-on experience. Examples of the kinds of courses that are likely to involve experiential learning include, but are not limited to, internships; study abroad; advanced student-directed, mentored research (e.g., senior thesis; independent study); practicums; clinical education; cooperative education.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Learning outcomes for students should include:

Application of ideas, concepts and skills developed at the university, department or course level(s) to new and different contexts;
Active reflection on the meaning of student experiences. Such reflection could include journal entries, blog posts, discussion boards, discussion groups, team meetings, sketches, field notes or similar activites;
Production of a final project, paper, presentation or creative work that provides a synthesis of their experience and research.
