Part-Time MBA Final-Year Experience
As a Part-Time MBA student at Rutgers Business School, you are invited to participate in the Final-Year Experience to prepare you for the full-time job search.
The On-Campus Recruiting Program is held every fall semester because employers recruit for their MBA recruitment programs—typically analyst/associate-level roles, including their leadership and rotational programs—in the fall semester. Consequently, the OCM prepares graduating Part-Time students for the On-Campus Recruiting Program during the prior spring and summer semesters so that they are ready to compete. The OCM also posts direct-hire and needs-based hiring jobs for graduating students throughout the academic year, which runs through the month of August.
On-Campus Recruiting Program (OCR)
On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) Program consists of corporate presentations, meet & greets/coffee chats, and on-campus interviews scheduled by employers to target Rutgers MBA students–Part-Time and Full-Time–by graduation year, for analyst and associate-level roles, including leadership and rotational programs.
- Corporate Presentations: OCM encourages companies to conduct on- or off-campus corporate presentations to market their full-time and summer internship opportunities to Rutgers MBA students. Following these presentations, companies schedule on-campus interviews for these opportunities.
- Meet & Greets/Coffee Chats: A meet & greet is a career-fair-style event that allows an employer to meet exclusively with our MBA students. No other employers are present. A coffee chat is typically a less formal conversation (meeting) with a recruiter to discuss your career interests and skill set.
- On-Campus Interviews: As a service to employers and students, OCM invites recruiters to interview students on campus for full-time. Employers select applicants that best meet their recruiting needs.
