Most international students pursuing the M.B.A. degree hold an F1 visa. Rutgers issues an I-20 upon payment of the tuition deposit. This form is presented to the nearest U.S. consulate or embassy in order to obtain a visa to study in the United States. Canadian citizens do not obtain visas, but carry the I-20 and present it at the point of entry. Students should be sure that their passports are valid for at least six months in the future. Upon arrival in the United States, all international students, whether they are attending classes on the Newark or New Brunswick/Piscataway campus, must contact international services offices in Smith Hall, Room 235, Newark, NJ 07102 (973/353-1427).
