CONTENTSPage 1
To attract high-achieving and high potential international students, the RBS 3 2 program partners withhighly selective universities from abroad to offer an accelerated dual-degree program. Studentssuccessfully completing the program receive a bachelor’s degree from their home institution, and a specialmaster’s degree in a business-related field from the Rutgers Business School in five years or less.Students interested in the dual degree option apply to the program in the third year of theirundergraduate degree studies. Students who have completed most of the required coursework for theirbachelor’s degree (generally no more than nine credits remaining) will be admitted as full-time graduatestudents at Rutgers, and can start taking graduate classes immediately upon arrival at Rutgers in thefourth year. The graduation requirements for both the undergraduate degree from the home universityand the graduate degree from Rutgers will be completed concurrently in the final two years at RBS.The 3 2 program can also be used by qualified students who are not yet ready to commit themselves tograduate studies but would like to gain international experience by visiting Rutgers for one or moresemesters. Visiting undergraduate students may take a course load of up to five courses per regularsemester; one of these courses may be a graduate course. Students should get all courses preapproved by their university’s academic advisor so as to make sure that course credit earned at Rutgerswill count toward the bachelor’s degree of their home institution.Page 2
