*However, students who are, or have been, engaged in the practice of management consulting, as an employee of an independent consulting firm or as an independent practitioner, for three years or more, and with project experience in multiple functional areas, may petition to replace Interfunctional I and II with a business policy course plus an additional elective. Substitution requests will be granted only upon the approval of the MBA program committee. To request a substitution, students should complete an Interfunctional Substitution form and return it to the Interfunctional Consulting Program Director.
Elective Courses (up to 21 credits)
The balance of the course requirements – up to 19 credits – are electives (fewer if calculus and/or statistics courses have been taken at Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs) . One of these is devoted to the fulfillment of the Management Information Systems (MIS) Breadth Requirement outlines above. Remaining electives may be chosen freely, or four may be selected in the same area to fulfill the requirements for a concentration. Students should finish the entire core before taking elective-level courses.
Core Substitution
Students who have already taken courses comparable to the required core courses may petition the department chair through the Office of Student Services to substitute advanced courses. Substituting courses for the purpose of receiving advanced standing is not permitted. Click here for the Core Substitution List.
