The Contemporary Challenge learning goals must be fulfilled by taking classes at Rutgers New Brunswick; transfer and AP courses are not certified to meet these learning goals.
SEBS Core courses taught each semester are available to view in the Schedule of Classes. After selecting a semester, New Brunswick, and Undergraduate and hitting "Continue", choose the tab on the left labeled "Core Code". The dropdown list will show each of the SEBS Core codes. After selecting one of the options, courses will appear from all departments that fulfill that SEBS Core goal.
