A student who takes two courses in each of the
first two semesters would probably complete the program in three years.
A typical sequence might be the following:
Undergraduates accepted under a dual-degree program
may take two graduate courses during their final undergraduate year at
Rutgers, reducing the minimum time required to complete the program to
as little as a year and a half.
Students who are attending part-time or who must proceed more slowly
might finish the thesis in the third year or later. Consistent with
the policies of the Graduate School, students must have completed their thesis
by the end of their fifth year.
