How can I tell if a course offering at my community college is equivalent to one of the College of Nursing requirements?
NJ Transfer (http://www.njtransfer.org) is a web-based data information system designed to assist prospective transfer and Dual Degree Program students from the New Jersey community college with their course selection at the community college.
We invite you to use NJ Transfer to determine if a course offered at the New Jersey community college you attend will transfer to Rutgers University or to find out if:
- There is an equivalent course or courses at Rutgers University
