<p>Could anyone tell me more about the program and its environment? Are there lots of oral presentations and boring text readings? I read a post on reddit saying that the student community is cutthroatt and backstabbing, but of course, there's always two sides to every story. </p>

<p>Im planning to go into supply chain management, so if anyone has experience in that major I would love to know.
I'm also intetested in computer science so I may double major.</p>

<p>Also, what's the rule with ap credits? I'm probably going to enter Rutgers with credit in chem, computer science, economics, literature, us history, and calc.</p>

<p>It’s really not cutthroat and backstabbing. Who invents these ideas?</p>

<p>My son is a senior accounting major and he has met a lot of nice people and the group projects have been pretty easy to handle for him. Most people do their fair share. There is the occasional slacker but that’s life and you deal with it. </p>

<p>There are some oral presentations but the professors are very supportive and encouraging. I think he is generally happy with his experience at RBS.</p>

<p>My son is a Sophomore and he loves the Business School. He took his first class in Supply Chain and was thinking of changing majors from Finance to Supply Chain. He really likes it. Students at RBS help each, so whoever told you that it is cutthroat is not true. </p>

<p>Thanks for the support and advice guys. What are your opinions on doubling majors? According to the statistics on RBS, 50% of the students double major with SCM. I’m planning to double major with computer science and SCM.</p>

<p>Also, do you think I could graduate in three years with 30 AP credits?</p>

5

<p>Yes it is possible, as you need 120 credits to graduate, so that would mean an average of 15 credits per semester, which is very doable.</p>

<p>The only problem that may come up is that, since you are double majoring, you will have more specific class requirements (ie you can’t just take any available elective) and if you don’t get something in a certain semester, it may preclude you from taking other, more advanced classes, which could set you back. </p>

<p>You could minimize this by knowing exactly what classes you need to graduate and sticking to that schedule. This may mean that you have to take an occasional summer or winter break class in order to stay on schedule. Use Degree Navigator and know what you need to graduate. Don’t depend on your advisor or fate.</p>

<p>Do you know anything about the first two years? Like are they just required courses and junior and senior year are actual business courses in my major?</p>

7

<p>The first two years you take the prerequisites like Financial and Managerial Accounting, Macro and Micro Economics, Calc, etc… not sure if you can double major and graduate in 3 years. I think it will be tough. I would suggest you speak to the dean to get an idea of what is involved. Good luck!! </p>

8

<p>Darn, I’m taking ap macro / micro / calc bc / chem / ap lit - This year so I’m hoping for a 4 or 5
I took ap computer science / us history and got a 5 / 4 on those already</p>

<p>There are contact numbers listed if you scroll down. Maybe ask one of those professors your question.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link! Do you think computer science would be a good choice for doubling majors with scm?</p>

<p>3 Supply Chain electives (9) </p>

<p>*Beginning Fall 2013, there will be two introductory Finance courses. Financial Management for Finance
Majors (33:390:310) will be for those who intend to major in Finance. Financial Management
(33:390:300) will be for those who have no intention of pursuing finance. Students planning to double
major in Supply Chain and Finance should take Financial Management for Finance Majors (33:390:310)
instead of Financial Management (33:390:300). Students who switch into the Finance major will also
need Finance 310. Credit will not be given for both courses, so, if students have any interest in pursuing
Finance, they should take Finance 310. Otherwise, Finance 300 will be sufficient. </p>

<p>**Students admitted to the New Brunswick Business School prior to Fall 2013, who did not complete
Principles of Management (33:620:300) by the end of Spring 2013, need to complete Intro. to
Management (33:620:301) instead. Principles of Management (33:620:300) will no longer be offered
after Spring 2013. </p>

<p>Students entering RBS in Fall 2013 and beyond must take Intro. to Management (33:620:301) and
Management Skills (33:620:302). </p>

<p>Credit will not be given for Management 301 if Principles of Management 300 has already been
completed. </p>

<p>***Note: Students may select either Introduction to Project Management or New Product Planning as a
required course. If both courses are taken, New Product Planning will be counted as the required
course and Introduction to Project Management will be counted as a Supply Chain elective. </p>

<p>You could at least minor in CS. I know that some business majors are set up to be compatible with certain other majors. It would probably be best to talk to an advisor about it.</p>

13

<p>Are courses open for registering on a certain day? I don’t know when I’m going to enroll yet. I’m not dorming so would this still be an issue?</p>

14

<p>I’m sure if you enroll by the deadline you will be ok to register for classes. You would attend your academic planning day and then submit your choices with backups by a certain date.</p>
