Led by Dean Lei Lei, an expert in supply chain management, Rutgers Business School maintains a strong market position, consistently recognized for its academic excellence and return on investment. In June 2026, its Full-Time MBA program was ranked No. 7 for overall ROI and No. 5 among public schools by Bloomberg Businessweek. The school is also recognized as the No. 1 public MBA program in the Northeast U.S. for its Part-Time MBA by U.S. News & World Report. However, in April 2022, the institution faced lawsuits alleging that it padded graduate job placement numbers to inflate its program rankings.
