STEP Program

What is STEP?

The Scholars Training and Enrichment Program (STEP) assists high school graduates from Newark and other urban areas who will matriculate to the Newark campus of Rutgers Business School. The purpose of STEP is to enhance these high school graduates’ success toward getting an RBS undergraduate degree.

The STEP Fellows spend six (6) weeks in this residential program on campus and attend a variety of non-credit pre-enrollment courses during the summer before they start their official undergraduate courses the following September.  Examples of these courses include study skills, time management, math, English, accounting, negotiations, and marketing.  The students will also take field trips to learn about business careers in different industries, and make many new friends who will be classmates in the fall.

What students say about STEP

"They [the instructors] really care about our futures and this is what this program was for: to develop our futures" Dan, STEP Scholar 2007

"I know I improved my skills of writing, listening and speaking because of the courses we took and I will take the skills I learned through STEP and use them throughout my four years at Rutgers." Camilla, STEP Scholar 2007
