For Non-Rutgers Business School students
Non-RBS students pursuing the IB Minor will take six courses in all (i.e., 18 credits). The required course track for this minor will be for non-RBS students to first take THREE Core Courses (9 Credits), then take the THREE Elective courses (9 Credits) from the list of electives below. At least TWO of the Elective courses (and therefore five of the six total required courses) must be RBS courses, which means that one can be a non-RBS Rutgers course with an international orientation. Students must declare the IB Minor in order to have access to the Core Courses listed below.
To be eligible to be admitted to the IB Minor, students must be in good academic standing with a GPA of 2.5 or higher.
