Why Stern 2

Reason 1 smallDubbed a global power city, New York City is a dynamic hub for commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, culture, entertainment, and cuisine. Whether you're learning from one of our expert faculty who comes straight to class from his job on Wall Street, running to your internship at L'Oreal or Goldman Sachs (NYC is home to the most Global 500 companies in the U.S.!), or grabbing lunch from a four-star food cart on your way to a school-sponsored event at the Museum of Modern Art, attending college in dynamic NYC is an experience like no other. Put simply, NYC is your classroom and NYU Stern, located in iconic Greenwich Village, gives you access to it all.
