<p>I checked the requirements for completing SAS and I noticed that couple of the classes were being used more than once to fill in the different requirements. I thought I couldn't use one class to satisfy more than one field for SAS...?</p>
<p>go to the official sas requirement page, and read it again.</p>
<p>You should see that a class can be used to fulfill more than one requirement provided that the requirements are under different board categories.</p>
<p>“Courses used to fulfill any of the liberal arts distribution requirements may be counted as fulfilling a requirement in more than one broad category of requirements, but courses may not be counted more than once within one of the five broad categories: Writing; Quantitative Reasoning; Natural Sciences; ‘Social Sciences, Humanities and Interdisciplinary;’ and ‘Diversity and Global Awareness.’ Effective for students graduating in January 2010 and beyond.”</p>
<p>Does that mean “can’t be counted more than once within each of the five categories” or “can’t be used more than once for the five categories”? Because I see two classes being used fulfilling two categories in degree navigator.</p>
<p>Courses used to fulfill any of the liberal arts distribution requirements may be counted as fulfilling a requirement in more than one broad category of requirements</p>
<p>As long as the requirements that are fulfilled are not in the same board categories, they can be counted more than once.</p>
<p>Example:
the two board categories</p>
<p>Requirement V4 : Social Sciences, Humanities, and Interdisciplinary - Types: GE</p>
<p>AND</p>
<p>Requirement V5 : Diversity and Global Awareness - Types: GE</p>
<p>can be fulfilled with one course.</p>
<p>However, within the type 4 category, you cannot satisfy both the social science and interdisciplinary sub-category requirement by a single course.</p>
<p>I believe that you can’t have one class counting for two requirements. </p>
<p>For example, “COURSE A” fulfills a social science, but a diversity awareness as well. It’ll show up as fulfilling both because you can’t really specify which one you want it to fulfill until you take another course. </p>
<p>So next semester you take COURSE B and it fulfills the diversity awareness. “COURSE A” from last semester will then change to reflect satisfying only the social science</p>
<p>Hope that clears things up! </p>
<p>The only case in which one course fulfills two requirements is when you are dealing with the liberal arts requirement and your major. For example, if you are a psychology major and took GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY to satisfy your major requirement, it will also satisfy the “Social Sciences, humanities…” requirement since it is one of the courses that fall under that category to fulfill.</p>

<p>please take a look at this page:</p>
<p>[Rutgers</a> SAS - New Spring 2010 Signature Courses Announced](<a href=“Rutgers University, School of Arts and Sciences”>Rutgers University, School of Arts and Sciences)</p>
<p>“EATING RIGHT can be used to fulfill the SAS humanities and diversity requirements.”</p>
<p>it explicitly says so.</p>
<p>Oh, well when I started in 2008, we were told that we could only have one course fulfill one requirement. </p>
<p>Even in my degree requirement, I took a course that was supposed to fulfill my “social humanities” and “global awareness”. My global awareness requirement still needs to be fulfilled and the course only counted for social humanities. Maybe it’s certain courses that allow one to fulfill two reqs. =</p>
<p>(Also, that’s why I started my post with “I believe” just in case because Rutgers tend to make changes to their requirements a little each year)</p>
<p>Yeah, I was also told we could only have one course fulfill one requirement back in 2008, but then this year I got a different answer…and so I went to degree navigator to check and then read the SAS requirement and I found myself back in square one…</p>
<p>I’m taking
Energy and Climate Change
this semester.
Supposedly it fulfills global awareness and Interdisciplinary requirements. I’m rather concerned if they wouldn’t let me have this course satisfy any of the requirements since it says that the course is “recommended” for non-science majors. Wanna know if anyone have an experience about this. Thanks</p>
