Computer Science

Description

The major and minor in computer science and the major in information systems are offered at the Newark College of Arts and Sciences and University College–Newark by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Computer science (CS) and information systems (IS) majors are offered jointly with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

Students take courses at Rutgers under the 21:198 prefix. They may register at Rutgers for courses at NJIT through cross-registration under the 28:198 prefix. The school code 28 identifies a course offered at NJIT. For example, the course listed as CIS 490 in the NJIT catalog becomes 28:198:490 for Rutgers students. The computer science and information systems majors share a common core of computer science courses.

The CS major is intended for those students who wish to concentrate on the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science. It requires additional courses in mathematics and advanced computer science. The IS major is intended for those students who wish to prepare for a career in business involving computers. Students may not major in both computer science and information systems.

Funding

Rutgers uses your FAFSA to develop a financial-aid package based on your qualifications, financial need and the funds available to the university. Your package may include any or a combination of these major financial aid sources:

• Gift aid does not require repayment and is divided into three categories: grants (which recognize financial need) and scholarships and awards (which recognize academic merit, special talents, or other achievements).
• Loans must be repaid (usually after graduation) and can come from private lenders as well as federal, state and university sources.
• Work-study allows students to earn money for college expenses while gaining valuable skills - often in their intended field.

Accreditation

The Rutgers name is recognized everywhere, and a Rutgers degree makes a great first impression. We’ve built our academic reputation on solid accomplishments:

• Rutgers is a member—so are Harvard, Yale, and Berkeley—of the prestigious Association of American Universities, the 61 leading research universities in North America.
• More than 175 Rutgers research centers support pioneering work in stem cells, climate change, DNA analysis, and more.
• Rutgers’ international reputation draws top students from more than 130 countries and all 50 states.
