Colloquium in Professionalism for Science & Technology Management
Requirements: Attending colloquia is required for all MBS Graduate Students and MBS Certificate Students in order to complete their respective academic programs.
- MBS Degree Students- required to attend at least 12 approved events, 9 of which must be sponsored by the MBS department.
- MBS Certificate Students- required to attend at least 6 approved events, 4 of which must be sponsored by the MBS department.
What events qualify as colloquia?
- Events can be either MBS-sponsored events or events related to science, technology, or business sponsored by other organizations (e.g., Professional Society, Scientific Meeting, Corporate Conference, another educational institution, or another unit at Rutgers).
- If you are unsure whether a specific event meets the MBS colloquia criteria, please send an email to psmacademics@docs.rutgers.edu and enclose the flyer or agenda for the event in question.
Over what time frame do students need to complete the 12 colloquia event requirement?
- Students may begin to accrue colloquium events during their first semester of enrollment and attend them over the course of the entire time of an enrolled student. All 12 required colloquia must be completed before they can graduate.
Keeping track of colloquia attendance: Students are responsible for keeping track of their own colloquium attendance using the Colloquium Module in the Rutgers PSM Student Resources Canvas Site. They should upload “Proof of Attendance” using the Colloquia Attendance Form to Canvas in order to receive point(s) for attending a colloquium event. All colloquium points will be updated by the end of the semester.
