About the School

Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) is an integral part of one of the nation's oldest, largest, and most distinguished institutions of higher learning: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

Founded in 1929, RBS has been accredited since 1941 by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB)--a distinction that represents the hallmark of excellence in management education. Today, RBS educates approximately 7,000 undergraduates and over 2,000 graduate students at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Rutgers University-Newark; at satellite locations in Jersey City and Madison, New Jersey; and in Singapore.

The fall 2009 semester marked the opening of a new state-of-the-art building for RBS, located at 1 Washington Park on the Rutgers University-Newark Campus. "100 Rock"--the spectacular new building at 100 Rockafeller Road housing Rutgers Business School on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University-New Brunswick--opened in 2013.

RBS students and faculty have access to a strong network of corporate partnerships and more than 43,000 RBS alumni. Through a multidisciplinary approach with other Rutgers schools and departments, they may also tap into a network of over 500,000 Rutgers alumni.

Steeped in academic excellence, with a distinguished faculty, RBS is highly ranked by the Financial Times, U.S. News & World Report, BusinessWeek, and the Wall Street Journal. RBS is one of the preeminent public business schools on the East Coast. We are:

  • #1 public M.B.A. program in the Tri-State area (U.S. News & World Report, 2018)
  • #1 in M.B.A. employment in New Jersey, New York, and New England (Bloomberg, 2017)
  • #1 in M.B.A. Total Salary Increase (Financial Times, 2017)

The M.B.A. program's strong rankings have a halo effect on our specialty master's programs, enhancing their reputations and making graduates of the programs attractive to recruiters.

RBS offers strong partnerships with global businesses in the United States and abroad; faculty with an international reputation for the high quality of their teaching and research; a diverse student body; and a curriculum that emphasizes experiential learning--providing students with the advantage of innovative, industry-relevant knowledge and real-world international experiences.

Corporate Partnerships: Geographically situated in an epicenter of global business, RBS has access to the top executives leading the world's largest corporations. Our partnerships with these companies are central to the RBS experience and offer our students distinct career advantages, evidenced by the success of our alumni.

Multidisciplinary Programs: With more than 270 Rutgers degree programs with which to partner, RBS is uniquely capable of delivering cutting-edge, multidisciplinary curricula that combine the mix of business and science required by today's leading corporations.
