On Jun 15, 2026

Rutgers Business School’s Full-Time MBA Program has been ranked No. 7 for return on investment when compared to 68 top public and private business schools in the country, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

The new ranking positions Rutgers Business School at No. 5 among public schools across the US for delivering a return on investment (ROI) to its graduates.

Rutgers Business School Dean Lei Lei said the latest ranking “underscores our commitment to delivering an outstanding educational experience that provides an impressive return on investment for our graduates.”

Students who completed a Rutgers MBA saw a median annualized return on investment (ROI) of 16% and a median 10-year net ROI of $679,000, according to the latest Bloomberg Businessweek Business School ROI Calculator. The ranking is based on a survey of thousands of students who attended 68 MBA programs throughout the U.S

Rutgers Business School ranked higher than Haas School of Business (University of California Berkeley), with an annualized total 10-year net ROI of $591,000; Ross School of Business (University of Michigan) with a 10-year-net ROI of $581,000, and it placed right behind Darden School of Business (University of Virginia), which was listed with an annualized total 10-year net ROI of $705,000.

“The acknowledgement of being ranked No. 5 among the nation’s public business schools in Bloomberg Businessweek’s latest ROI Calculator underscores our commitment to delivering an outstanding educational experience that provides an impressive return on investment for our graduates,” said Dean Lei Lei. “That experience is shaped by our dedicated faculty, innovative curriculum, hard-working staff and close corporate partners – all of which combine to ensure that our MBAs are prepared not only to thrive, but also to lead, in a fast-changing and competitive business world.”

The Rutgers Full-Time MBA is an in-person, 45-credit program that can typically be completed in 12-to-16 months, depending on whether the student chooses to complete a summer internship. Students entering the program typically have two years of work experience.

The ROI Calculator is designed by Bloomberg Businessweek to help students identify schools that are affordable, offer a great education, and promise a quick, significant return on investment.
