Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "I chose NYU for its earned and respected place in higher education. From there, I chose the NYU Stern Executive MBA program in Washington, DC because it was the best fit for my needs: a strong finance/quant program with exceptional staff and flexible format that supported my demanding work and home commitments. Once a month, in-person classes on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have been manageable with my work travel schedule and weekend kids’ sporting events."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "The executive MBA caters to a more experienced cohort, combined with the flexible structure of every other Friday and Saturday. I knew that I wanted to do an in-person program since I wanted to build a strong network with my classmates and professors, and I have done just that."

Excerpt from U.S. News -- "Similarly, some of the rising specializations at Stern have been in areas like entertainment and media, entrepreneurship innovations, sustainable business, FinTech, tech product management and health care, Eggers says.

'These are things that being in New York City are definitely a big part of who we are,' he says."
 

When it comes to developing the next generation of business leaders, NYU Stern’s Leadership Accelerator has taken the case study method off the page and into real life. Earlier this spring, after a few Zoom iterations, the Leadership Accelerator hosted its first in-person “live case” for MBA students. 

Excerpt from Vox -- "Conor Grennan, a dean at NYU’s Stern business school, who recently took on the additional title of head of generative AI, sees the title as more of an initiative and thinks of it as akin to a chief learning officer or chief productivity officer. In the position, he pushes people across NYU, from students to professors to administrators and recruiters, to use AI to become more efficient and better at their tasks."

Excerpt from Fortune -- "New York University Stern School of Business, which Fortune ranks as having the No. 7 full-time MBA program in the U.S., offers several opportunities for its business school students to learn about A.I."
 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "This may seem obvious because “New York” is in our name and is our location, but it goes so much deeper than that. It’s our locational endowment!  Stern is in and of the city, intertwined with it. What does this mean for our students? We offer a vast array of Stern Solutions experiential learning opportunities for our MBAs. These are electives for those in our two-year program, while they are baked into the curricula for our focused one-year programs, the Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA and the Fashion and Luxury MBA. Our NYC location allows us to source projects across a broad set of industries– from tech, to fashion, to real estate, to finance, and more. It allows C-suite executives to attend a board meeting in the morning, then guest lecture or teach a class in the afternoon. We have a deep base of local alumni for networking, and the Stern administration builds and nurtures strong relationships with top NY employers to create lasting talent pipelines for recruitment and placement."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "It has been a wonderful two years, and I cannot wait to continue to learn throughout my career. And I hope that hearing just a little bit about my experience has helped you on your journey to discover whether an MBA is for you, and whether Stern is the right fit. For me, I can unequivocally say: going to Stern was one of the best decisions of my life, and my life will never be the same because of it."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Two leading business schools – one in the U.S., one in Europe – are teaming up to provide a pathway for talented executives with eyes on the C-suite.

"The C-Suite Pathway Program, a five-month immersive program preparing senior executives to excel at the highest levels of their organizations, will be offered jointly by IESE Business School and NYU Stern Executive Education."
 

A decade ago, building on NYU Stern’s long-standing foundation in business and society endeavors to support a new generation of responsible leaders, Stern became the first business school to open a human rights center.

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "Back at Stern in New York, career outcomes for graduates of the Fashion and Luxury MBA Program have remained bright as well. 'Since the program launched, employment rates have jumped to 94 percent three months after graduation. These outcomes speak to the industry demand for MBA talent with the specialized knowledge and skills,' says Serdari."  
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "When first designed, the curriculum focused on predictive modeling, or what will happen next, Ghose says. Focus has shifted over the last decade to causal inference – why did this happen and how will it impact the future? – to better meet professional demands on the job. The program regularly updates the curriculum to cover the most timely topics such as modern Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, Web 3.0, and econometrics.

“'At its core, Stern’s MSBA empowers students to become data scientists who can leverage the potential of data analysis to drive decision making and innovate new opportunities for competitive advantage,' Ghose says."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? I love the creativity that my students display in their end-of-term fintech startup projects, where they develop their own idea for a fintech startup and how it should best be financed. I also love hearing about how our class topics intersect with their careers and experiences."

Excerpt from Accepted.com -- "Firstly being access, and really this is, we are located in the heart of New York City and we fully take advantage of that. We are so connected across businesses and industries, from FinTech to fashion, from media to marketing, you name it, we’ve got Stern alumni there and the beauty is, they’re just a subway right away. So we really are in the heart of the city and take advantage of it."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Stern offers the one-year Andre Koo Tech MBA Program that perfectly balanced my time away from the workplace and my career goals in the technology industry. I wanted a more targeted full-time MBA from a top school in a shorter amount of time, which Stern’s Tech MBA provided."

Excerpt from AACSB Insights -- "IESE Business School, based in Barcelona, Spain, and the executive education program at New York University’s Stern School of Business are teaming up to launch the C-Suite Pathway Program. The five-month program, which starts in December, helps senior executives gain a broader outlook on international business and a deeper awareness of emerging trends. It will be taught through a mix of in-person modules, online modules, and self-paced study. The in-person classes will be held at NYU Stern as well as IESE’s New York campus. Executives also will be able to participate in the Personalized Leadership Journey component of the program, in which they receive one-on-one executive coaching on honing their leadership styles and improving their capacity to drive positive change."

Excerpt from MiM Guide -- "'In recent years, we are seeing a wider range of industry backgrounds and experience levels from students, which demonstrates the broad appeal and relevancy of business analytics across fields and functions,' says professor Anindya Ghose, academic director of Stern’s MS in Business Analytics Program."

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "'Going back to school after time in the workforce can be an adjustment. Coursework is demanding, and incoming students need to manage their time to ensure those needs are being met, while also building relationships with their classmates and preparing for their internship search,' says Lindsay Loyd, executive director of MBA admissions at New York University’s Stern School of Business."

"That is why Stern has its LAUNCH orientation for incoming MBA students, which helps set the tone for the program and supports them in understanding what to expect during the first year of the program." 
 

Excerpt from GreenBiz -- "Key topics covered: Reporting and certification standards; materiality and stakeholder mapping; supply chains; the circular economy; innovation; customers, employees and sustainability; monetizing the sustainability ROI; sustainable finance; ESG investing; net positive future"

Excerpt from Fortune -- "In a typical case study exercise, students in business school classes are given a brief to read ahead of time along with questions about how they might handle the particular business challenge at hand. But this may not actually be a 'fair test' because students are only reading about the scenario, notes Nathan Pettit, founding director of the NYU Stern Leadership Accelerator, tells Fortune.

"'And frankly, what the student says they would do probably doesn’t approximate what they would actually do if they were faced with that real scenario,' Pettit adds. 'The live case model is one-of-a-kind pedagogical outgrowth of this vision around accelerating experience and having students learn through difficult scenarios.'"
 

Excerpt from MBA Chic — “We know from research over time that positive relationships at work or relationships that feel really energizing are really critical…for our wellbeing, for our satisfaction, engagement at work and turnover,” she says.

Excerpt from U.S. News -- "A generalist receives foundational knowledge across core business subjects. This route 'also gives students options to dive deeper and explore their interests via electives, specializations and experiential learning,' says Lindsay Loyd, executive director of MBA admissions at the New York University Stern School of Business."

NYU Stern alumna Elizabeth Elting (MBA ’92) has donated $2 million to EFL to provide investment funding for promising women-centric businesses that have successfully completed the program.

Excerpt from MBA Chic — "I had a professor who was the CEO of Buzzfeed. I had a professor who’s now the Chief Strategy Officer at HBO. So I think that type of access, it’s not only the alumni network, but to be in a classroom for a few hours each week with someone who’s dealing with these problems every single day and probably like right before class, during class and after class… I just thought that was so invaluable."
