"The Rutgers MBS Externship Exchange program was truly one of the most formative experiences in my life. It gave me the opportunity to work closely with and learn from high level executives at Colgate Palmolive as well as within the MBS program. This program is a golden opportunity to get "real world" experience within leading companies by developing projects that truly have an impact." - Girish Harinath, MBS Biotechnology & Genomics
Overview
Through the Rutgers Master of Business and Science (MBS) Externship Exchange program, students are matched to corporate-sponsored small projects in teams ranging from two to nine students. Taking a project from start to finish, teams are directed by both an MBS academic advisor and a mentor from the organization to which they have been assigned. This unique opportunity allows students to gain real, hands-on work experience at some of the world’s leading corporations while also receiving specialized instruction on topics including leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and giving effective presentations. Intensive professional development workshops are a hallmark of our program. The Externship Exchange can be a gateway to the job of your dreams. What are you waiting for?
