Orientation
Full-time students attend an extended
program, including testing, social interaction, and registration.
Details are available via the school`s web site or at the Office of
M.B.A. Student Services. Orientation for part-time students is
streamlined and includes an overview of the curriculum and rapid-fire
processing.
Course Evaluations
Each trimester,
students are asked to evaluate their classes by completing evaluation
forms. The process is conducted under strict standards of
confidentiality. After final grades for courses have been submitted,
comments and evaluation forms are returned to the instructor, along
with the tabulated statistical data. Faculty members use the
evaluation, particularly the written comments, as valuable input in
their future course plans. The tabulated data are available each
trimester in the Office of M.B.A. Student Services.
Student Organizations
Cocurricular activities are an integral part of student life at the
business school. Classroom experience is extended into social
interaction and student-initiated discussions. Contacts and friendships
are formed which carry over into future careers. Students are
encouraged to become involved with established activities and to
propose new ones. The following student organizations are currently
active:
Black M.B.A. Association
Hispanic M.B.A. Association
New Brunswick Student Council
Pharmaceutical Management Club
Professional Accounting Student Government Association
Student Government Association
Supply Chain Management Club
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Concerns
Students seeking resources or more information are urged to call the
Rutgers lesbian and gay alliance at 732/932-1306 or 973/353-5300.
Sexual Harassment
Rutgers has a policy against harassment and a process to resolve issues
of harassment. See the Academic Policies and Procedures chapter of this
catalog for more information.
Services for Physically Challenged Students
The university complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of handicap in educational programs and
activities. Rutgers is committed to helping people with disabilities
reach their potential. Counseling is available to help disabled
students make plans and acquire assistance in the following areas:
academic advising, scheduling, and course selection; campus life,
housing, and student activities; and referral services.
Physically challenged students are invited to contact Assistant Dean
Berman. Arrange for such an interview at the earliest possible date.
The interview is confidential.

are in Ackerson Hall and the Management Education Center in Newark, and
in the Janice H. Levin Building in New Brunswick/Piscataway. Department
chairs or their designee offer assistance in selecting areas of
concentration.
