conditions specific to its mission as the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. For details, see
http://sasoue.rutgers.edu/docman-docs/doc_download/449-sebs-core-curriculum
In particular, SEBS students will meet one of the 21C challenge requirements by earning credits in a SEBS-certified Experience-

Analysis (SCL) courses: Economic Analysis (ECN) and Governance and Regulation Analysis (GVT). SEBS students will complete
one of each.
As of Fall 2015, all New Brunswick undergraduates except those matriculated in the School of Engineering or the School of
Pharmacy will take the Core Curriculum.
Certification of courses is being done by the CRC and SAS and Affiliate Faculty under the current governing by-laws.
