Earning an Edge with a Mini-M.B.A.

Rich CialoneFor human resources professional Rich Cialone, a corporate downsizing was the beginning of a whole new professional chapter. A Mini-M.B.A. from Rutgers helped him to bounce back.

The certificate program provided Cialone with insights into business strategy and an understanding of how different organizational functions and management practices work together. “It’s very satisfying to see how your own organization fills the needs of its clients,” he says, “and how success breeds success.” Learn about Rutgers Mini-M.B.A. Programs.
