John Byrne, founder and editor of Poets & Quants, has an in-depth interview with Rutgers Business School Dean Lei Lei about the promise of a large, public business education at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He also talks with a group of students about their experience and what makes Rutgers special.

At Rutgers Business School, there is an emphasis on ensuring that students are job-ready when they graduate, with knowledge and skills as well as a confidence gained from mentoring and experiential learning experiences. Students begin forging the paths to their careers as early as freshman year and there are a host of innovative programs to help them learn about their fields, gain mentors and work experiences along the way.
