      • If applicants already have an advanced degree from an institution in the U.S., applicants will be required to submit an official copy of the advanced degree as well as the official transcripts of their bachelor’s degree.
      • See below for additional international transcript requirements. 
      • Unofficial transcripts can be used for admissions review. Upon admittance to the program, you will need to supply official transcripts.  
  4. Submit your supporting materials, including:

      • Standardized Test Scores: GMAT/GRE standardized test scores are NOT required for applicants to graduate programs at RSBC.

Official scores must be reported from a GMAT or GRE test taken within the last five years. Please consult an admissions coach with any questions.
      • You are highly encouraged to submit GMAT/GRE scores if:

Please review your intended academic program for additional admission requirements and considerations.

Prerequisites

While work experience is highly recommended, strong applicants can be admitted directly from an undergraduate business program or through our Accelerated Degree Program.

Prerequisites

  • 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.

Prerequisites

Due to the mathematical nature and fast pace of many business analytics courses, the admissions review includes particular attention to your quantitative background. This background should include statistics and comfortability with Excel.

Prerequisites

Students without a Finance background will be required to complete a free LinkedIn learning course (Finance Foundations).

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.

For the full MBA Course Waiver Policy, go to https://business.camden.rutgers.edu/graduate/mba-waiver-policy/

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.  

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.

Notes for International Students

BLDP Application

The Spring 2023 Application is now open! 

Priority will be given to applications received by November 18. Applications are accepted until all seats are filled. Space is limited, so apply early!

The seminar application process is our gateway for entry into the program. Upon acceptance into BLDP, students will be emailed their acceptance letter plus a special permission number allowing registration for the BLDP seminar.

Requirements

Seminar applications are solicited each semester and require the following:

  1. Completed application form (at the bottom of this page),
  2. For students with GPA 3.0 – 3.49, two (2) letters of recommendation (one academic; one other)

Rutgers-Camden students are invited to apply to apply for enrollment in the BLDP seminar. All applicants are expected to meet both of the following selection criteria:  (1) have sophomore standing or above and (2) have an overall GPA of 3.0 or above. First-semester transfer students will be evaluated based on their GPA earned at Rutgers. Students who fail to meet these admission criteria may still be allowed to apply for (and possibly enroll in) the BLDP seminar, but they will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The director balances evaluations to make final decisions on people accepted for the seminar (up to a maximum of 15-20 each semester).

Students who are admitted to the BDLP are required to adopt the BLDP Code of Conduct. A signed contract is required from each student.

Students may count activities toward “leadership units” that were initiated prior to taking a seminar, as long as those activities occured primarily during their enrollment in their academic program.
