In this course, students will look at a range of investment philosophies with the intent of finding not only the core beliefs that animate them, but also the ingredients needed to make them work. Students will look at the historical evidence in support of or working against each philosophy and what they need to bring to the table to succeed with that philosophy. In the process, Professor Aswath Damodaran hopes that students will find an investment philosophy that best fits them, given their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Taught by Professor Aswath Damodaran, one of the leaders in the field, Advanced Valuation is for analysts, financial officers, and portfolio managers seeking a deeper understanding of valuation, and the skills and knowledge to confidently make financial decisions. Through video lectures, live online meetups, and a hands-on valuation project, students will learn how to estimate the value of any business, small or large, private or public, in a developed or an emerging market. They will also be able to price businesses using earnings, book value, revenue, or other pricing multiples and comparables.

Taught by Professor Tensie Whelan, this 14-week course provides participants with the ability to help their business be a force for change through ESG (environment, social, and governance) investing, sustainable supply chain management, employee and consumer engagement, sustainability marketing, and more.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "J.P. Eggers is equally bullish on Stern’s New York digs. 'Our location in downtown Manhattan’s Greenwich Village is an unmatched asset,” he tells P&Q. We are deeply connected to the industries in our neighborhood and the surrounding areas — tech, finance, entertainment, media and more. We bring New York City right into our classroom with adjuncts who work in industry and teach our students. And we partner with companies on real-world projects through our Stern Solutions offerings. Alumni are a quick walk or subway ride away for networking.  Not to mention that students can readily explore the city’s culture from food to art to music and more.'”

(DUMBO – Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass – is the Brooklyn neighborhood known for its innovative startups and tech-focused entrepreneurs).
 
BTE students worked in teams alongside four New York City startups, tackling unique challenges facing the early-stage ventures."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "NYU Stern’s “Pick Six,” or as I like to call it, Six Pix, was one of the most enjoyable and creative essay prompts I did during my MBA application journey.

Wharton Professor Daniel A. Levinthal joins NYU Stern Professor Christina Fang for a virtual fireside chat, hosted the the Strategic Management Initiative at the Center for the Future of Management, to share insights and answer questions from his new book, "Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation: A Mendelian Perspective on Strategic Management." In this book, Professor Levinthal describes how executives can strategically position their organizations for uncertain future competitive environments, not with a “crystal ball” but by orchestrating a diverse set of initiatives within their organizations. 
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I think we have, over eight years, demonstrated that this is a real subject, that it can be done with academic rigor, and it can actually make a difference. The reality is these are the issues that a lot of business leaders struggle with. These are the things that keep leaders of Fortune 500 companies up at night, often when they get caught in the middle of a crisis. It’s important for business schools, teaching the next generations of leaders, to prepare corporate leaders about the subject."
