experiential learning

At the Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree program, we believe the best way to learn is through hands-on learning, and nowhere is that more evident than in our Externship Exchange Program. Our externship program offers students the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge in practical settings. On April 22nd and 29th, 2025, externs took the stage to present their semester-long projects at the Spring 2025 Externship Lightning Talks.

Innovation is the heart of scientific progress, but it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Innovation requires research, experimentation, and ecosystems that fuel creativity. Students pursuing the Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree enroll in the course Science and Technology Management Capstone, where they work in teams to pick a science-based intellectual property and develop a plan to take it to market.  

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every industry, one group of students explored software that could enhance school safety using AI.  

Imagine a weekend where science meets innovation—welcome to the Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program’s Capstone retreat!

Students in our Capstone course were welcomed to join us at the Rutgers Inn and Conference Center for a weekend of workshops, team building, field trips, and fun.

We invited both in-person and online students to take part. One student traveled from upstate New York to attend!

In the ever-changing world of education, the Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program strives to serve our students using innovative tools and techniques.

On Tuesday, June 25^th, students in the MBS course Fundamentals of Intellectual Property (IP) embarked on a class field trip. In the early morning hours, they boarded a bus at the Rutgers Inn and Conference Center and made the long—yet worthwhile—journey to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in Alexandria, Virginia.  

Experiential learning is a hallmark of the Rutgers Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program. Perisa Azhir, a Drug Discovery and Development Concentration student, took this to the next level when she traveled to Guangzhou, China.
