RBS students often participate in Case Competitions where they gain experience and make connections with representatives from major corporations.

Student Perspective

“Rutgers University has expanded my

horizons through a heightened learning

experience. In addition to being

exposed to numerous business cases,

their knowledgeable, experienced and

well-networked faculty introduced a

business lingo to me that I had not yet

been exposed to in Corporate America. Once I knew how to

speak that language, my contributions to my business

environment gained depth. I thrived in Rutgers’ diverse,

competitive academic setting and I am continuously

implementing that knowledge in my women-owned hair care

upstart, Tea and Honey Blends LLC.”

COO, Tea and Honey Blends LLC,
