  Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs-Newark and New Brunswick 2015-2017 Message from the Dean  

Message from the Dean

Welcome to the Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick catalog for graduate programs.

The world-class faculty of Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) serves a diverse, ambitious, and growing student body. The Rutgers University brand and our location in the New York metropolitan area enable us to attract highly qualified faculty, deliver innovative education and attractive employment opportunities to our students, and make exceptional connections with local, regional, and multinational businesses. Our splendid new buildings at 100 Rockafeller Road in Piscataway--"100 Rock"--and at 1 Washington Park in Newark are major symbols of the recent growth and increasing stature of our comprehensive, two-campus, Rutgers Business School.

RBS interacts with more than 1,000 different employers who provide mentors, internships, and employment for our students; speakers for our classes and clubs; and part-time lecturers and students in our programs in executive education. The managers of these companies serve on more than 20 boards that advise us on programs, research, and organization supporting our comprehensive and relevant curriculum.

We are expanding our world-class graduate programs and strengthening our research faculty. We are developing new graduate programs, especially in New Brunswick and online. Like other business schools, we are emphasizing new specialty programs rather than trying to expand our M.B.A. program. In fall 2014, we admitted the first class in our master's program in financial analysis at 100 Rock. We are expanding our nationally ranked online program in governmental accounting, which is also headquartered at 100 Rock. We have recruited dozens of new research faculty in the past few years, including senior scholars whom we have recruited to endowed chairs in finance, real estate, and entrepreneurship. 

As dean of RBS, I have formulated a vision for RBS that emphasizes the diversity of our mission and our stakeholders--students, scholars, alumni, businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities in New Jersey, the New York region, the nation, and the world. Over 100 faculty and staff members, along with students, alumni, and business supporters, recently came together to support this vision as the basis for the renewal of RBS's accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

RBS is the #1 public M.B.A. program in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) and #3 in M.B.A. employment nationwide. With strong corporate recruiting partnerships with New York's and New Jersey's top global companies and a dedicated career management staff, it's no wonder our students get jobs. 

Rutgers Business School: Learn today, lead tomorrow.
