The B.A./M.B.A. and B.S./M.B.A. dual-degree program of Rutgers
Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) is a
special study plan that allows a student to earn both a bachelor`s
degree and a master of business administration degree within five
years. Normally, the sequence of degrees requires six years. This
dual-degree program offers an opportunity to develop a liberal arts
interest, as well as prepare for a career in management or business.
The first three years of the program are spent at one of the Rutgers
undergraduate divisions that participate in the program, where general
studies requirements as well as the required courses for a major course
of study are completed.
During the fourth year, graduate courses
toward the M.B.A. degree are taken, which are offered at RBS campuses.
The fourth year remains the senior year of undergraduate school, with
undergraduate tuition rates remaining in place. At the end of the
fourth year, all undergraduate requirements for the bachelor`s degree
should have been completed successfully. During the fifth year,
graduate studies are completed resulting in the M.B.A. degree. Participating Rutgers Divisions
