You must submit a personal statement in less than 900 words as to why you wish to enroll in the Rutgers Business School DBA Program and provide reasons as to how this would lead to achieving your personal goals and objectives. The personal statement should describe your qualifications, identify special interest areas of study, and describe how you are qualified to pursue pure or applied research in the area of your choice.

You are encouraged to identify a precise research question that you plan to investigate during the course of the DBA. This statement will be carefully read and evaluated by professors in the appropriate field and by the DBA admissions office.

GMAT/GRE: Most applicants do not require a GMAT or GRE scores unless advised by the admissions committee. For the GMAT, have Pearson Vue (pearsonvue.com) send your scores to code QK5-XT-51. This requirement is waived for applicants with a prior graduate degree (Masters, JD, PhD, etc.) from an accredited university. The DBA Program Director may also waive the requirement on a case-by-case basis for applicants with significant work experience or who are employed in unique industries or sectors that will add to the overall learning experience of the class.
TOEFL/IELTS: The DBA program is conducted entirely in English and students must be proficient in both written and oral English. If your undergraduate degree was conducted in a language other than English, you may be required to provide proof of your English proficiency by submitting a TOEFL or IELTS score.
If you need help determining whether you are required to submit test scores, please contact the Rutgers Business School Asia Pacific office.
