Students! Please Note Change in General Education Requirements

Significant changes have been made to Brookdale’s General Education requirements in order to boost transferability. All of NJ’s nineteen community colleges will be following the new General Education Model.  The general education program change will not impact any student currently enrolled in the program from which they intend to graduate.

The new General Education Model will affect Brookdale’s graduation requirements for students who change degree programs after December 23, 2007, so it is important that our records reflect your correct degree program (major).
