Business School Courses (22:xxx:xxx)Students must fill out and submit the Rutgers Business School Special Permission form located on the MBS website along with an updated resume. Both documents are to be submitted to psminfo@docs.rutgers.edu for review. Once approved internally, the MBS office will send both documents to the Business School for approval. If approved by the Business School, a SP# will be issued to the MBS office. DO NOT Email Professors or RBS for SP#s. They are given out by the MBS office after they are properly requested.

***Please note course requests may take a few days. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

SAKAI & CANVASSakaiSakai is designed to help you set up your own online collaborative work environment. It is useful for communicating with your classes, receiving and grading assignments, and organizing discussions. Sakai also can be used to set up project groups for your research so that you can collaborate with colleagues both on and off-campus.

How you use the features of Sakai depends entirely on your needs. You can limit your use of Sakai to basic course functions, like posting syllabi or sending e-mail to your students. If you’re feeling more technologically adventurous, you can use the Wiki tool within Sakai to create a collaborative environment. You can create the Sakai that you want by choosing only the tools you need.

Please visit: https://sakai.rutgers.edu/portal for more information.

CanvasCanvas is another tool used by professors and students for distance learning. Students can access their online materials for class as well as have threaded discussions, receiving grades, assignments amongst many other things.

The Professional Science Master’s Program is planning on using eCollege for online courses in the future. * Your eden/netID will be connected to your eCollege account. Please check your eden mail for updates.

Please visit: https://tlt.rutgers.edu/canvas to learn more.

Student accountingThe Office of Student Accounting, Billing, and Cashiering provides access to your online term bill, processes refunds, administers payment plans, coordinates exit counseling, and assists with issues that arise with your student account. Our department is also referred to as the Bursar’s Office, the Campus Business Office, or the Cashier’s Office.

Please visit: http://www.studentabc.rutgers.edu for more information

veterans informationThe Office of Veteran and Military Programs and Services goal is to ensures that veteran and military students are fully integrated into campus life and are able to take full advantage of the broad range of intellectual and cultural activities offered by Rutgers while having veteran and military students share their diverse experiences with the university community. Our team coordinates one of the most comprehensive range services for veteran and military students found at any college or university in the country and our mission is your smooth transition on to our campus and ultimately your academic success here an Rutgers and in your years beyond the university. As the result of Rutgers extraordinary commitment to its veterans, the VA has designated Rutgers as a VetSuccess on Campus University and assigned a fulltime VA employees to work out of Rutgers Veterans House.

Please visit: http://veterans.rutgers.edu/ to find out more.

internships/ExternshipsAll MBS students have the opportunity to earn up to 3 credits (Note: an additional three credits can sometimes be added with your advisor’s permission) for participating in supervised work-based learning activities with an employer or with a professor on-campus AND completing the requirements of the on-line internship course. The course is meant to be completed alongside your internship. You can start work before you enroll in the course (for domestic students ONLY, international students Check with your Global Services advisor on enrollment requirements), but you must enroll by at least the halfway point. Students cannot enroll in the internship course after they have completed - or mostly completed - their work experience.

NOTE: For-credit internships are not required to graduate from MBS, but it is one way to satisfy the program’s relevant work experience graduation requirement.

Please visit https://mbs.rutgers.edu/mbs-graduate-internships-0 for more information and instructions.

The Rutgers Master of Business and Science (MBS) degree program also runs an Externship Exchange opportunity for students and companies where we match up MBS students to corporate sponsored small projects. All projects and teams are directed by the Externship Coordinator, Dr. Nelson.

Please visit https://mbs.rutgers.edu/externships for more information.
