The Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick (RBS-UNB)
offers major programs that lead to the bachelor of science degree in
accounting, finance, management, management science and information
systems, and marketing. Undergraduate degrees in the broad functional
areas of business have been offered on the New Brunswick/Piscataway
campus since 1934. In 1981, these departments were reorganized into the
School of Administrative Sciences under the Faculty of Professional
Studies.
In June 1984, the university's Board of Governors
approved a reorganization of the School of Administrative Sciences into
the School of Business. The new School of Business received final
approval from the New Jersey Department of Higher Education in February
1986, and began operation as a distinct unit on September 1, 1986. In
April 1991, the School of Business-New Brunswick received its
accreditation from AACSB International-The Association to Advance
Collegiate Schools of Business in both business administration and
accounting.
In 1996 the School of Business, the School of
Management in Newark, and the Graduate School of Management, the
business units on Rutgers northern campuses, were merged into a single
school that was subsequently named Rutgers Business School-Newark and
New Brunswick. The undergraduate business program in New Brunswick
remains a separate program-with unique entrance and graduation
requirements-within the Rutgers Business School.
The Rutgers
Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick has the following
missions: to provide a high-quality, upper-division program of study
for students wishing to pursue professional careers in industry and
public accounting firms, to expand the university`s research efforts in
the areas of business and managerial issues, to encourage faculty in
business studies to serve the business and government communities, and
to participate in professional associations.
