Fall 2026
Dear MBS Community,
Welcome to the Fall 2026 semester! Whether you're new to the Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree program or continuing your journey with us, we're excited to have you as part of our community. As technology continues to transform every industry, our mission remains the same: to provide you with the skills, experiences, and professional connections needed to succeed at the intersection of science, technology, and business.
This year, we expanded our curriculum with the new concentration, Regulatory Science, coordinated by Jay Goldring and Raquel Mura. This concentration prepares students for careers in the fast-growing regulatory affairs sector in the pharmaceutical, food, and consumer products industries.
In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, we’ve launched a special three-part series exploring how the Constitution and federal courts have shaped American commerce, science, and innovation—and how principles written more than two centuries ago are confronting the technologies of tomorrow. Led by MBS Lecturer Ronald J. Levine, a practicing attorney with more than 45 years of litigation experience, the series takes learning beyond the classroom with a visit to a federal courthouse and an opportunity to hear directly from a sitting federal judge.
Learning extends beyond the classroom through the many events and experiences we offer. We start off each semester by welcoming new students through online and in-person orientations. This year, we’ve brought together students with industry leaders through online professional workshops, a mixer with our Industrial Advisory Board, happy hours, and a yearly field trip to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We also strengthened our alumni community by celebrating our graduates and hosting our annual alumni brewery gathering. Throughout the year, we’ll continue to offer these online and in-person opportunities to learn and connect.
We look forward to continuing to create opportunities for you to learn, connect, and grow. I encourage you to take advantage of everything the MBS degree program has to offer this semester. I look forward to seeing what you'll accomplish and wish you a successful semester!
Deborah Silver, Executive Director, Rutgers Professional Science Master's Program
