General Education Courses

General Education is designed to fulfill the aim of a liberal education: breadth of knowledge and balance of judgment. Courses in General Education are designed to create an interest in cultural and intellectual activities that will last throughout life. Because one of the fundamental principles of a general education curriculum is to experience a variety of disciplines, students are required to take courses from five areas: Communications, Science/Mathematics, Social & Behavioral Sciences, History/Humanities/Language, and Artistic & Creative.

Course Equivalents at Rowan for NJ Community College Courses

An equivalency is part of an articulation agreement between two institutions facilitating accurate and efficient transfer between those institutions. An equivalency is a determination by both the community college and the university that a specific course(s) at one institution is equivalent in content and credit to a specific course(s) at the other institution. By comparing equivalencies, official transcripts can be easily evaluated to grant transfer credit, which apply toward degree requirements at Rowan University.
