Alum Kamillah Rae explains the strengths of Rutgers Business School.

“I was really looking for a way to access experts in the industry. To go to the people who had been pioneers in the digital marketing industry and be able to learn from them. And I found Rutgers to be a great place for that. From the very first class I took, I was given resources not only through Rutgers, but Rutgers’ partners to really understand how to stand out in the job market and go after the experiences that I wanted.”
