Hi Alyssa,

As you know, both the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) offer this major So the choice is about your preference for an academic "home," in the end. Have you been on a tour, especially a walking tour of SEBS? I recommend one.

That's exactly right, CarolAnn! The main difference is the addition of the science requirements, making SEBS a great choice for folks who want a science background, perhaps for medical writing or science reporting, (I was an academic adviser at SEBS before becoming an admissions officer. . . )

One addition: SEBS journalism majors must take a minor or certificate program that is specific to the mission of SEBS-- the interaction of people and the environment. Here's a link for those programs: http://catalogs.rutgers.edu/generated/nb-ug_current/pg730.html

Since I intend to major in Journalism, do you think you could elaborate on why SEBS is great for journalism majors? Just curious.

Hi! Great blog, I know there are lots of prospective students wondering about the different between the two schools. I am sure this information will be really helpful.

I recently did some research on double majors betweens SAS and SEBS for a prospective student and I thought I would share what I learned. SAS does not let you have a SAS major and double major in something at SEBS, but you typically can minor in SEBS related areas. However, at SEBS as long as your first major is a SEBS major you can have a second major in a SAS major. It is not a dual degree and you only get one dipolma, but your transcript would certify that you completed the requirements necessary for both majors. SEBS also offers minors in SAS areas too.

I hope that this helps anybody trying to decide between the two schools.
