Rohrer College of Business at Rowan University

What Rohrer College of Business at Rowan University does

Rohrer College of Business at Rowan University is a public, AACSB- and ABET-accredited business school located in Glassboro, New Jersey, operating as a constituent college of Rowan University. The college delivers Bachelor of Science degrees across eight disciplines (Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, Information Systems & Analytics, Management, Marketing, Supply Chain & Logistics, and Entrepreneurship), graduate programs including an MBA, STEM-MBA, and MS in Finance, plus 14 Certificates of Undergraduate Study and 8 minors. Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and fees set at the university level, supplemented by philanthropic funding from the William G. Rohrer Charitable Foundation, which has contributed more than $12 million cumulatively including a $10 million naming gift in 2005 and a $10 million gift announced April 2026 to create a School of Financial Planning. Graduate students can access RCB Fellowship funding of up to $40,000 for Strategic Impact Projects with corporate partners.

The college differentiates through dual accreditation (fewer than 40 business schools worldwide hold both AACSB and ABET), an experiential learning ecosystem anchored by Project Based Learning, supervised internships, and mentorship programs, and a structured employer engagement model organized through eight advisory councils including an Employer Relations Council with representatives from Crédit Agricole CIB, SEI, BDO, Holman, Inspira Health, Subaru, Campbell's, and Enterprise Mobility. Career development is delivered through the Rohrer Center for Professional Development, and innovation/entrepreneurship through the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Top 50 per Princeton Review) and Rowan Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Technology infrastructure relies on standard educational platforms including Qualtrics, Starfish/Rowan Success Network, Profs Jobs, 25Live, and RowanWorks rather than proprietary AI systems.

The institution operates as a public educational unit rather than an independent commercial entity, drawing on state funding, tuition, and philanthropy. Leadership is headed by Dean Matthew Sarkees, PhD, with Jennifer Maden serving as Assistant Dean of Graduate Studies and Director of the MBA program. The student base spans roughly 1,000+ undergraduate majors plus graduate cohorts drawn primarily from New Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia region, served by 58 faculty and staff on the Glassboro campus in Business Hall.
