The School of Business–Camden uses Rutgers University’s graduate school application.
General Requirements
Here are the basic requirements for applying to our graduate programs:
- GMAT/GRE standardized test scores are NOT required for applicants to graduate programs at RSBC. However, you are highly encouraged to submit GMAT/GRE scores if: Your four-year undergraduate cumulative GPA is less than 2.75 and/or you have less than 3 years of full-time work experience.
- Letters of recommendation, resume, and a personal statement describing educational and professional goals.
Note: MS in Data Science students at Rutgers–Camden will be able to transfer up to 12 credits from the Rutgers–Camden MS in Data Science program to the RSBC MSBA program. The request for graduate transfer credits will be evaluated by the MSBA program director and judged as largely replicating what we offer in the MSBA (thus, not all Data Science applicants’ completed credits would necessarily be approved for transfer up to the policy maximum). The decision of the program director is final.
