The Entrepreneurship MBA encourages students to generate new sources of enterprise,
form innovative business ideas, and create new jobs. The program teaches students how
to start the business they’ve been dreaming about. Students learn the skills they need,
and meet an entirely new network made up of classmates, professors, and alumni who
will be their future advisors, mentors, investors, and business partners. Rutgers’ ambitious
entrepreneurial and collaborative environment is the perfect place for students to get their
business ideas rolling.

Student Perspective
“Rutgers University has expanded my
horizons through a heightened learning
experience. In addition to being
exposed to numerous business cases,
their knowledgeable, experienced and
well-networked faculty introduced a
business lingo to me that I had not yet
been exposed to in Corporate America. Once I knew how to
speak that language, my contributions to my business
environment gained depth. I thrived in Rutgers’ diverse,
competitive academic setting and I am continuously
implementing that knowledge in my women-owned hair care
upstart, Tea and Honey Blends LLC.”
