The academic departments of the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick share a common, yearly admissions procedure. Students must apply for admission to the business majors in RBS-UNB through an admissions procedure separate from the one through which they enter the university. Students already enrolled at one of the liberal arts colleges should apply for admission to the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick from November 1 to December 15 of their sophomore year for entrance in the following fall term (junior year). Incoming transfer students should obtain information about the separate admissions procedure from the Office of the Dean, Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick. The selective admissions policy based on educational criteria is designed to deal with the size limitation of the school and growing student demand in an equitable manner.

The faculty of the school seeks to attract a highly motivated and diverse student body in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Faculty Advisory Committee on Admissions to the Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick and by university regulations.
