The future of education is changing. The Rutgers Stackable Business Innovation (rSBI) program allows you to design your own cutting-edge curriculum without having to commit to a degree program. The term ‘stackable’ means students can earn course credits at their own discretion and apply them toward a non-degree certificate.
The nature of work is also changing. Keeping up with the latest trends in business has become a career imperative. Build on your knowledge and earn a certificate by stacking courses together, becoming a subject matter expert (SME) for your company and your resume. Many of these course credits can then be transferred toward completing a Master’s degree.
The rSBI program offers three ways to earn a certificate:
View the Concentrations, Courses, and Short Courses offered by each of the six academic departments. You can also download the complete concentration catalog.
All applicants will be asked to submit undergraduate transcripts, a resume, and a short essay explaining their interest in the program and their academic and/or professional background.
Additional documentation, such as standardized test scores, graduate transcripts, or letters of recommendation, may be requested based on the status of the applicant and the criteria of the academic department.
By choosing only the courses you need and enrolling at your own pace, it will be more affordable to manage the cost of your education. You can choose online or in-person courses to fit your busy life. Further, you will develop strong connections to RBS faculty, classmates, and alumni. Learn from and interact with your fellow students who come from diverse backgrounds and work experiences. Grow your professional network with people who have a passion for learning and tap into Rutgers Business School's global, 45,000-strong, alumni network.
Choose to take any rSBI course à la carte or stack courses to earn a certificate. Earning certificates in the Rutgers Stackable Business Innovation (rSBI) program is an effective way for you to become a subject matter expert (SME) after completing a series of courses. Trending business concepts and skills across knowledge domains are constantly updated to ensure relevance in the marketplace.
The key advantage of the Rutgers Stackable Business Innovation (rSBI) program is that you can continually learn the hottest topics in business and effectively integrate lifelong learning into your career.
