Recent History

In 2015, Professor Lei Lei, who built Rutgers Business School's Department of Supply Chain Management into one of the nation's leading programs, became the first female dean. Under Lei's leadership, Rutgers Business School has become one of the top public business schools on the East Coast, established lifelong learning for alumni and is preparing the next generation of students to reinvent themselves for the digital era.  
   
Rutgers Business School (RBS) is focused on program innovations, diversity excellence and strategic corporate partnerships to become a national leader in student success via job placement and return-on-investment for a business degree. RBS continued to build momentum emerging from being the No. 1 business school in New Jersey (U.S. News, up to 2015) to the No. 1 public business school in the New York Tristate (NY/NJ/CT) (U.S. News, 2016) to being recognized now as the No. 1 public business school in the Northeast U.S. (Financial Times, 2017, 2018, 2022, 2024). RBS is now consistently in the top 15 for return-on-investment for a business degree in the nation ( Poets & Quants , 2024).  
   
Today, the school is educating nearly 10,000 undergraduate and graduate students per academic year and growing at two main campuses in New Jersey: Newark and New Brunswick (Livingston Campus) as well as its international location in Singapore. Steeped in academic excellence, with a distinguished faculty and a corps of over 60,000 successful alumni, RBS continues to be highly ranked by the Financial Times, U.S. News & World Report, Fortune, and BusinessWeek.
