Undergraduate New Brunswick Program
The Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick offers major programs that lead to the Bachelor of Science degree in accounting, business analytics and information technology (BAIT), finance, management, marketing, and supply chain management and marketing science. Undergraduate degrees in the broad functional areas of business have been offered on the New Brunswick Campus since 1934. In 1981, these departments were reorganized into the School of Administrative Sciences under the Faculty of Professional Studies.
In June 1984, the Board of Governors established an upper-division Business School at Rutgers on the New Brunswick campus. The Business School - New Brunswick undergraduate program received final approval from the New Jersey Department of Higher Education in February 1986, and was formally accredited for its baccalaureate business administrative program by the Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business - International (AACSB) in April of 1991.
In 1996, the School of Business - New Brunswick, the School of Management - Newark, and the Graduate School of Management - business units, on Rutgers’ northern campuses, were merged into a single school that was subsequently named Rutgers Business School Newark and New Brunswick. The undergraduate business program in New Brunswick remains a separate program with unique entrance and graduation requirements within the Rutgers Business School. Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate - New Brunswick became a four year program with the admission of the first freshman class in the fall of 2008.
In addition to the business courses required to complete the business major, RBS NB students must also complete a set of general education ("SAS Core") requirements. This curriculum combines a foundation in mathematics, the natural sciences, social and historical analysis, arts and humanities, and 21st century challenges with a professional specialization in one of the broad functional areas of business, and provides a broad education that prepares the student for imaginative and responsible citizenship and leadership roles in business and society.
The Rutgers Business School: Undergraduate-New Brunswick has the following mission: to provide a high-quality, program of study for students wishing to pursue professional careers in industry and public accounting firms, to expand the university’s research efforts in the areas of business and managerial issues, to encourage faculty in business studies to serve the business and government communities, and to participate in professional associations.
