History of the Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick
In June 1984, the Board of Governors recommended the establishment of an upper-division
School of Business at Rutgers on the New Brunswick campus, which was formally endorsed by
the New Jersey Department of Higher Education effective September 1986. The school offers
undergraduate programs in accounting, business analytics and information technology, finance,
management, marketing, and supply chain management, leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Science.
On July 1, 1996, the School of Business joined the Faculty of Management to form a single
business school on Rutgers’ northern campuses. The newly formed unit, renamed Rutgers
Business School-Newark and New Brunswick, with its larger faculty and wide variety of centers,
institutes, and programs, provides extensive new opportunities to students enrolled in the
undergraduate program in New Brunswick. In fall 2008, the New Brunswick undergraduate unit
of the Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick became a four-year program with
the admission of the first freshman class.
In August 2013, the Rutgers Business School-New Brunswick moved to its new location, 100
Rockafeller Road, on the Livingston Campus. Known to many as 100 Rock, this building
contains state-of-the-art computer and media classroom facilities, technology centers, and
multiple team meeting rooms, all dedicated to the exclusive use of Rutgers Business School
students. With a commitment to renewable energy, 100 Rock represents the cutting-edge nature
of this growing institution.
Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick Gonfalon
The two golden stripes on the Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick gonfalon
represent the school’s two undergraduate programs. The center stripe represents its graduate
program. The colors of the stripes relate to the hood colors worn by each program’s graduates.
The scarlet and black letters in the school’s name and logo represent the colors of the university.
Business education at Rutgers can be traced back to 1929, when it was first offered through the
Seth Boyden School of Business at Newark.
