A. Sometimes there are some real benefits to taking a few classes at County Colleges. However, before you take them you should be sure that they will properly fulfill your goals. Here are a few issues to consider:
In your last 42 credit hours here at Rutgers, 30 credits have to be completed AT Rutgers. That means a maximum of 12 credits elsewhere.
Will the Pre-Calc class at your local school count as pre-calc here? Just check the website at http://www.njtransfer.org/. They will give you definitive answers on equivalent courses. Several different College area requirements might be handled that way.
To use it, go straight to http://www.njtransfer.org/ and find the link to "Find Course Equivalencies". Set the Sending Institution to your local County College and set the Receiving Institution to "Rutgers-Sch Env Biol Sci-Co". If you have a specific class in mind, you can just type in the course number. If you are looking for general requirements just click on the "Keyword Look-Up" button and use the "Rutgers-Sch Env Biol Sci-Cook Co GEd:" pulldown menu to pick the set of requirements that you wan to investigate.
When you find some courses that have equivalency, you still need to go back to the County College's schedule and see when they are offered.
Be warned, very few of the Landscape Architecture requirements can be completed with transfers. And they almost always require approval of the faculty of the Department.
