90 CREDIT HOURS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION In the final quarter most on-site courses are offered only during the late afternoon and early evening so as not to interfere with internships. Students must achieve a grade of C or better in each English Composition course to remain in the program. *Students at the Middlesex, Bergen, and Newark campuses may have to complete their final three quarters at the Garret Mountain campus. |
