- Accounting Track: Have already met prerequisites with their undergraduate degree.
- Transition Track: Successful completion of prerequisite courses (Intro to Financial Accounting, Intermediate Financial Accounting I, Auditing, and Taxation) or our prerequisite Knowledge Seminars.

Course Waiver Policy for MBA Programs
Students who apply to the MBA Program (not applicable to the accelerated MS/MBA programs) can apply for a potential course waiver(s). Waivers may be granted for up to six-credits (two courses).
Coursework must be taken at an accredited four-year college or university in the period covering the last ten (10) calendar years from the start of the MBA Program at the Rutgers School of Business–Camden. Course waiver requests must be submitted for evaluation before the start of the MBA Program.

Instructions for International Applicants
International students have additional application requirements, which are outlined below.
English Language Proficiency
Students will need to submit proof of English language proficiency, if their undergraduate education was completed in a language other than English. Rutgers–Camden accepts the following documentation:
- TOEFL IBT and IBT Home Edition: 79
- IELTS: 6.5
- Duolingo: 120 (effective for Fall 2026)
Official Transcripts
Official transcripts are required from each post-secondary school attended. Undergraduate transcripts must be equivalent to a four-year U.S. bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, showing 120 credits. All transcripts MUST be translated to ENGLISH, as well as show:
- Accreditation status of the institution
- Title of the degree earned
- Date the degree was conferred
- Cumulative GPA
- Credits hours earned
Please Note: If your transcript does not meet the above criteria and/or if your undergraduate degree was a three-year program, Rutgers School of Business–Camden (RSBC) REQUIRES a course-by-course evaluation, including the above information and transcripts, from a NACES accredited agency.
The purpose of the credential evaluation report is to accurately convert each of your course grades and the cumulative GPA (CGPA) to the U.S. grade equivalencies and to validate the authenticity of the documents. This eliminates the need to obtain official, English translated documents/transcripts from your home institution(s) to the U.S. university, saving you time and money.
RSBC accepts the academic evaluation reports from any of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services® (NACES) members. However, we highly recommend students use one of the following services when applying for a graduate program at Rutgers University–Camden. These links are customized to be sure you select the right kind of evaluation at a discounted rate.
- The Evaluation Company (TEC) – Rutgers University–Camden:
Divisional Course Analysis Evaluation (Divisional Course by Course - World Education Services (WES):
Course-by-Course International Credential Advantage Package (ICAP)
Please have the completed evaluation sent to e-transcripts@camden.rutgers.edu or by courier to:
Rutgers University
Attn: Graduate Admissions
406 Penn Street
Camden, NJ 08102
Please note that this process can take up to six weeks to complete.
Unofficial transcripts can be used for admissions review. Upon admittance to the program, you will need to supply official transcripts.
Rutgers School of Business–Camden reserves the right to request an applicant to have their transcript evaluated by a NACES accredited agency.
For international applicants seeking scholarship support, an official GMAT or GRE score is required for any scholarship consideration. When the scores are received, they will be assessed for the eligibility and potential scholarship level.
