Overview
In order to receive a degree from Douglass College, students must earn a total of 120 credits (exclusive of repeated or “E-prefixed” courses) with an overall grade point average of 2.000 or higher, complete the curriculum set by an approved academic major, and satisfy all college requirements as described below.
Part One: Proficiency
IA. Expository Writing
IB. Writing Intensive
IIA. Basic Mathematics
IIB. Language Other Than English
Part Two: General Education
IIIA. Scientific and Mathematical Experience and Problems
IIIB. Problems and Methods in History and Social Science
IIIC. The Humanities
IV. Mission Courses
V. Cross-Cultural Perspectives
Students who transfer to Douglass may receive credit toward any of these requirements.
To fulfill the university’s residency requirement, a student must earn 30 of her last 42 credits at Rutgers as a matriculated Douglass student.
Part One: Proficiency
I. Writing Proficiency
Critical reading and analytical writing abilities are essential to a student, both in her academic work and beyond. The writing sequence at Rutgers is designed to help students develop these skills; they are considered so fundamental that Douglass students are required to enroll in the appropriate level writing course until the writing requirement has been satisfied. Expository Writing must be completed at Rutgers-New Brunswick unless an approved course is completed prior to matriculating at Douglass.
IA. Expository Writing
A student’s entry point in the writing sequence is determined by a placement test. All incoming first-year students must take the placement exam, even if they enrolled in college writing courses through their high school. Credit may be awarded for prior coursework, with equivalency as appropriate following review of writing samples and placement results. Credit is granted for a score of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Language/Composition test. All students must satisfactorily complete Expository Writing (355:101) or its equivalent.
Students place into one of two writing sequences:
Composition Skills
355:098 |
|
Basic Composition/Reading
355:100/099 |
|
Expository Writing
355:101 |
| Note: Students with an initial placement of Basic Composition may be exempt from the Reading Comprehension workshop |
EAD* I
356:155 |
|
EAD II
356:156 |
|
Basic Composition/Reading
355:100/099 |
|
Expository Writing
355:101 |
| *English as an Academic Discourse |
IB. Writing Intensive Course
All Douglass first-year students are required to take the course “Shaping a Life” in their second semester. This will meet both the Writing Intensive and a mission requirement. If a student enters Douglass as a transfer, or fails to successfully complete Shaping a Life, any of the courses listed below may be used to complete the Writing Intensive requirement.
The following writing courses are offered through an academic department, and may also meet a major requirement. Please note that many of these courses are restricted to declared majors, and have one or more prerequisites.

IIA. Basic Mathematics: Math Proficiency
A math placement of CMA, PCA, or CAL means that the basic mathematics proficiency requirement has been met and the student is prepared for college level math courses. A placement of CMP, EAL, or IAL indicates that the student needs to take one or more algebra courses before attempting any course for the math core (IIIA1). Algebra proficiency may also be a prerequisite for courses offered through other departments (Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science). Algebra courses taken for the proficiency requirement are “E”-credited. They will count toward full time status for the individual term, but WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD THE 120 DEGREE credits required for graduation. The grade is not calculated in the GPA, although it appears on the transcript. This requirement may be met by approved course work completed outside of Rutgers–New Brunswick.
A student’s entry point into the math sequence is determined by placement test.
Proficiency: |
|
Core: |
Elementary Algebra*
640:025 |
|
Intermediate Algebra
640:026 |
|
College-level math
(variable) |
*Students may be required to take a computation workshop in combination with Elementary Algebra. Students should speak to their advisor to determine whether or not Elements of Algebra (640:027) would be a good alternative to the standard sequence.
IIB. Language Other Than English: Foreign Language Proficiency
The ability to communicate with others in more than one language is a valuable tool in today’s global society. Accordingly, Douglass requires that all graduates be proficient in a language other than English. Any of the following will meet the proficiency requirement:
- Placement on the language test at course numbered 131 or higher,
- An acceptable review course in a language studied in high school (e.g., Spanish Review and Continuation, or 940:121), OR
- Completion of two semesters of a language not previously studied.
NOTE: Degree credit will not be granted for elementary level courses of a language studied for two or more years in high school. This requirement may be met by approved course work completed outside of Rutgers–New Brunswick.
Part Two: General Education
IIIA. Scientific and Mathematical Experience and Problems
Students must complete one college level math course (list IIIA1), one introductory level natural or physical science course (IIIA2), and a third course from either area.
1. Math/Quantitative Reasoning
NOTE: Students must meet their math proficiency requirement (completion of 640:026, 640:027, or a placement of CMA, PCA or CAL) before attempting a course from this list.
