U.S. New & World Report recently named the Rutgers Business School one of the top 50 MBA programs in the US. Both the full-time and part-time programs received this honor.
Rutgers also snagged Bloomberg Businessweek’s number one spot in MBA employment in the U.S., which makes sense given that Rutgers has solid recruiting partnerships with many renowned global companies in New York and New Jersey. Last year, over 96 percent of full-time MBA grads were employed within 90 days of their graduation.
Rutgers has been consistently rising in national rankings for the past five years. In fact, this year, the full-time MBA was ranked by the Financial Times for the first time. U.S. News & World Report also named Rutgers the number one public MBA program in the Tri-State area in 2016.
Lei Lei, dean of Rutgers Business School, supported the shift in the school’s ranking, saying, “Rutgers Business School is dedicated to delivering a strong MBA program for our students through a relevant, constantly updated curriculum and access to top global companies in New Jersey and New York City … Our faculty, staff, alumni and corporate partners have been instrumental in achieving these milestones.”
