Students apply separately to the two programs and must identify their interest in the dual-degree program on both applications. Each program accepts 12 credits from the other toward its degree. The student needs a total of 60 credits for the master of business administration and 45 for the master of public policy. The student will therefore need to take 48 credits with Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick and 33 with the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.
