International Students: Please note the Professional MBA does not meet the guidelines for full-time international student requirements. Consideration for admission to the Pro MBA requires U.S. citizenship or a residency visa allowing students the ability to travel outside of the United States during a required trip as part of one of their classes. International student candidates seeking an MBA should consider the Rutgers Online MBA for non-U.S. residency or the On-Campus MBA for anyone wishing to study in the United States.
The Rutgers School of Business–Camden, including all its undergraduate and graduate programs, is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Why is this important? Because it ensures that schools maintain rigorous quality standards, which are recognized by top employers worldwide.
