Rutgers Newark prerequisite courses

[chiasmus100]

Hi everyone, Rutgers website list these as its prereqs:

Introduction to Sociology

Statistics

Anatomy & Physiology I & II

Organic Biochemistry

Microbiology

Technology elective (any three credit computer course)

Lower-division nursing courses that may be taken or challenged:

Life Span: A Holistic Approach (Developmental Psych.)

Human Interactive Processes

Cultural Dimensions of Humans and Their Environment

Nutrition and Health

I am confused as to what they mean by "organic biochemistry" is this the chemistry with lab class? Also, what is Human Interactive Processes and Cultural Dimensions of Humans and Their Environment ?

Thank you.

Bump. Does anyone in the NJ or NYC area know where I can take some of the prerequisite classes? Can I apply to Rutgers-Newark directly and sign up for some of their classes?

any of the jersey community colleges. i am currently taking online courses at brookdale community college. check njtransfer.org or contact the nursing dept at rutgers to confirm the classes will transfer.

I am currently enrolled in the RU Accel program. It is considerably cheaper to take pre-reqs at community colleges, rather than at Rutgers. As long as the credits transfer (check on njtranfer.com for equivalencies before you register), it shouldn't matter where you earned it. I also took a CLEP exam for the Sociology requirement ($77 exam fee, plus book).

Also, I HIGHLY recommend that you plan to complete pre-reqs before starting the program. There is a tentative, very likely, plan to eliminate the challenge tests, with the exception of Cultural. So be prepared. The program only starts in May. The summer semester was tough, but I survived =>

Thanks to both of you.

Hi does anyone have a syllabus or isbn number for the book used for HIP at rutgers? I couldn't find the transfer equivalent for this class and would most likely have to test out.

[heron21]

The class equivalent for HIP is Interpersonal Communications class which can be taken in any community college. I do not recommend taking the challenge exam. I would email any of the admins for the challenge exam info, including the syllabus and textbook. Good luck.

Soci 105 at brookdale in the fall for human interactive online,

I took it online fall 2011, with psych 208, a lot of reading with the 2 but worth it to do online

So I am an LPN and I just finished all my Pre reqs for the RN program. I can now take my HESI and try to clep in to the program. I will be transferring to Rutgers eventually, while I wait to get into the nursing program at brookdale I am taking classed toward my BSN that will transfer to Rutgers. Unfortunately the colleges don't always make it a smooth transition and I effectively have no clue what I'm doing. I picked up a Spanish 1 class and stats this fall, I don't know what any of the electives are that I need to take it what computer class?? Help :-/
