LIST OF ACCEPTABLE HUMANITIES/SOCIAL SCIENCE ELECTIVES FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS (INCLUDING 2 + 2)
INTENDING TO TRANSFER TO THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING IN NEW BRUNSWICK
EFFECTIVE FALL TERM 2008 (CREATED APRIL 2008)
Rationale for H/SS Electives in the Curriculum: A good undergraduate education should provide more than the
development of technical skills. Properly chosen, H/SS electives can complement your technical courses by helping you
to develop an understanding of the problems facing our society, an historical consciousness, a sense of values,
knowledge of other cultures, an appreciation of the fine arts, and an ability to think logically and communicate effectively.
Think seriously about your choices, and use them to enhance your educational experience. Engineering students may
also complete a minor or second major in these disciplines. See http://coewww.rutgers.edu/oaa/declaration.php for
details.
School of Engineering Requirements: All candidates for the B.S. degree must complete a minimum of 18 credits of
humanities/social science courses including the following:
• 01:355:101 (21 or 62:350:101 or 103 is acceptable);
• 01:220:200 or 01:220:102 AND 103. (Note: credit not granted for 220:200 and 220:102 or 220:103) (28:905:201 or 21 or
62: 220:101 AND 102 is acceptable) (Note: Credit not granted for 28:905:201 and 21 or 62:220:101 or 102)
• Four free electives chosen from courses listed below;
• Free electives must be selected in a manner such that at least two courses are at the 300/400 (upper) level, at least
two courses, including one upper level, are from the same subject area; and at least two different subjects are
represented. All courses may be from the same subject ONLY IF a minor or 2 nd major in a H/SS subject is earned. Even
with a minor/major, 2 upper level courses from this list must be chosen.
• Elementary language courses are normally NOT accepted for H/SS credit. However, four semesters of a language (2
elementary and 2 intermediate) that were not taken in high school and is not the student's native language will count as 1
general, 2 H/SS lower, and 1 H/SS upper elective. The second upper level H/SS elective must come from another subject
unless a minor is earned.
