Alumni Highlights
I completed my online MBA from Rutgers–Camden because it allowed me to work full-time, stay in New Jersey and most importantly, the reputation of Rutgers–Camden MBA stands out amongst others in the area.
The Rutgers Online MBA program was challenging, the professors engaging, and the experience one of a kind. I was able to visit South Africa with a cohort of peers while still having the flexibility given by the online experience. I would recommend the program.
