NOTE: CRWT and MATH courses are determined by placement testing and should be taken following the sequence above.

Total Credits Required: 128 credits

Major GPA required for graduation: 2.0

WI: Writing Intensive – 3 courses required in the major.

*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:

Social Science Inquiry (+W)

SOCIAL SCIENCE INQUIRY

Scientific Reasoning

SCIENTIFIC REASONING

Distribution Category (Outside of TAS)

VALUES AND ETHICS; SYSTEMS, SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIETY; OR CULTURE AND CREATIVITY

Distribution Category

VALUES AND ETHICS; SYSTEMS, SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIETY; OR CULTURE AND CREATIVITY

+W: Students transferring in with 48 or more credits are waived from these general education requirements.

* See the course catalog for prerequisites for Calculus I. One of the ways to enter Calculus I is to place into it via the Calculus Placement Test called Accuplacer Advanced Algebra and Functions Test (AAF Test) at the RCNJ Testing Center. The Testing Center is open all year round. If the placement test results for a given student indicate that developmental courses are required (for instance, Precalculus, or Elementary Algebra Topics followed by Precalculus), such developmental courses may be taken as early as during the summer session(s) preceding the student’s freshman year [Summer Session I (late May – late June) or Summer Session II (mid July – mid August)]. See the RCNJ Testing Center website for more details on the Calculus Placement Test.

Those mathematics majors who end up taking Precalculus, which is a 4-credit-hour course counting towards graduation credits, can count it as, for instance, the 4 HR Elective in the Fourth Year Spring in the table above.

** If a student wishes to take a statistics course to fulfill one of their “MATH Elective Level 300 or Above” requirements, the student is advised to take exactly one of the following: Math 353 Statistics OR Math 370 Applied Statistics, but not both. If a student takes both of these two courses, then the one taken earlier will count as a “MATH Elective Level 300 or Above” requirement, but the one taken later will be counted as a general elective, and not as a “Math elective Level 300 or above”. Similarly, if a student first takes MATH 237 and later takes MATH 205, then MATH 205 will not count as a math elective, but as a general elective.

*** If a 3 credit hour elective cannot be found in the schedule, it may be replaced by an elective (or a combination of electives) worth at least 3 credits hours total.
