Holding an outdoor event in New Jersey's December weather is a gamble. In fact, it's generally unadvisable.

However, after three wonderful in-person, outdoor events held earlier this fall—under clear skies and in temperate weather—we decided to get creative so we could see each other and socialize with enough space to social distance just one more time before the new year. Heated tent? Check. Lots of food? Check. Fingers crossed? Check, check, check.

As we head toward year-end, we want to extend the warmest wishes of thanks, gratitude, and happiness to our MBS community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and students-to-be!

Incoming students, we can’t wait to meet you!

We have so many exciting things on the horizon for 2022, because we’re GROWING!

Starting a new chapter—a new semester, a new year (!)—is always exciting! But it can also bring an added dimension of stress, especially when so many things beyond our control seem to be in constant flux.

We all know that getting enough food, rest, and time to recharge are necessary—are essential—to tackle the demands of any given day.

One of the most valuable assets to any MBS student is our fantastic alumni network – a robust community of engaged individuals who often return to share their wisdom.

February 2, 2021, saw the return of the Annual UXPA/NJ Chapter Design Slam, a fun, interactive event where randomly grouped participants must quickly solve a non-hypothetical design challenge—the details of which are kept secret until the start of the event. 

As of this summer, students pursuing Rutgers Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree have a new academic concentration to consider: Product Design, an offering created in light of industry trends and workforce demands. Officially commencing with the Fall 2022 semester, the new concentration is the result of months of research and coordination, and is the first degree in product design offered at Rutgers University. 

“While courses in design thinking are very popular with students and lifelong learners, are companies recognizing this as its own skill set?” —General Question, 2018.

It's March 1st - Women's History Month!  

All month long, we will be celebrating and honoring women in STEM--women who have inspired us, supported us, and paved the way for our achievements and those of the next generation. Thanks to all women in STEM - past, present, and future - for making our world a better place!
