The "Cosmetic Quality, Safety and Global Regulation" course within the Rutgers Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree program combines classroom learning with real-world exposure to roles within the industry. The course provides students with a practical understanding of how regulatory, safety, and quality functions operate across the cosmetics industry.
On November 6th, 2025, students in the course “Market Assessment and Analysis for Business and Science” led by Professor Mark Burgess swapped their classroom seats for IKEA showrooms, transforming the brand into a live marketing case study.
On Tuesday, June 25th, 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.
