experiential learning

The MBS Externship Exchange program offers students the opportunity to gain work experience by tackling corporate-sponsored small projects under the guidance of a mentor.

The MBS Externship Exchange program provides students with opportunities for education through experiential learning. Through externships, students work remotely in multi-disciplinary teams to solve real-world projects for partner organizations under the guidance of professors and external company mentors—some of whom are MBS alumni!

One of the many unique features of the Rutgers Professional Science Master’s (PSM) program is our abundant externship exchange program. A highlight of experiential learning, the externship exchange program partners students with corporations to gain first-hand experience in their fields.

Experiential learning is a cornerstone of an MBS education, and we encourage our students to seek out new and exciting ways to practice what they’ve learned in a real-world environment.

For many MBS students, a fond memory of the program includes visiting the IKEA in Elizabeth with Professor Mark Burgess on a trip for his course Market Assessment and Analysis for Business and Science.
