One of the prime reasons for students to select a major university for their undergraduate work is the presence of a research-active faculty and graduate programs. Strong mathematics majors, especially those considering graduate study in mathematics, should take advantage of the opportunities that RU–New Brunswick/Piscataway presents and discuss with their advisers the possibility of taking graduate courses during the senior year (or even sooner in certain cases).

Once the student and major adviser agree that a course is appropriate, the student should get the approval of the course instructor and/or the director of the mathematics graduate program. The student can then either sign up for the course during the pre-enrollment period or register during the add/drop period at the start of the term.
