Application Process

Change of Contact Information
It is the applicant’s responsibility to update NYU Stern immediately with any new contact information. Failure to update contact information may result in applicants missing important communications from the University, which could jeopardize applicants’ admission and/or place in the class. If your contact information needs to be updated, please email executive@stern.nyu.edu.

International Student Visa Status
NYU can sometimes sponsor international students. The NYU Office of Global Services (OGS) handles immigration matters for all students, faculty, and staff seeking immigration and visa support when traveling to NYU locations in the US and around the world. Refer to the OGS website for more information. 

Application Fee
The application fee is non-refundable and may not be used toward future applications to NYU Stern or other NYU programs.

Military Application Fee Waiver
Members of the U.S. military and U.S. military veterans who have served on active duty are eligible for an application fee waiver. Email your request for a fee waiver to executive@stern.nyu.edu and include documentation of service.

Please do not submit your formal application until you receive this confirmation from our office.

NYU Stern reserves the right to contact appropriate sources to ensure the accuracy of all the information you have provided. Additionally, NYU Stern may validate the accuracy of application information with the appropriate sources. You must promptly inform NYU Stern if any information changes.

NYU Stern may revoke your admission if we learn that you have misrepresented and/or omitted information during or after the admissions process, or that you have engaged in behavior showing a serious lack of judgment or integrity prior to or after admission. If your admission is revoked, you will not be eligible to re-apply to any NYU Stern MBA program.

Admissions Terms

Transferring Credits
NYU Stern does not accept transfer credits.

Applying to Other NYU Stern MBA Programs
Applicants may only apply to one NYU Stern MBA program per start term (Full-time, Part-time, Executive or TRIUM Executive). If you are not offered admission or withdraw your application during the cycle, you may request to apply to a different program in the same admissions cycle. All requests must be sent to executive@stern.nyu.edu and will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Your request must be approved before you begin your new application.

Dual Degree Programs
Executive MBA students cannot pursue dual degree programs.

Additional Submissions by Waitlisted Applicants
Waitlisted applicants are welcome to submit additional materials for the Admissions Committee’s review. However, the Admissions Committee reserves the right to make final decisions on waitlisted applications prior to receiving additional information. Materials received after a final decision will not affect that decision.

Enrollment Deposit
If admitted, a $5,000 non-refundable enrollment deposit is required to hold your place the program. The enrollment deposit is not refundable under any circumstances.

Deferred Admissions
In rare cases, in which unexpected personal or professional circumstances prevent you from beginning the program on the intended date, you may submit a request to the Executive MBA Admissions Committee to defer your enrollment for up to one year. The Admissions Committee reviews deferral requests on a case-by-case basis and approval is not guaranteed.

Changing Status after Enrollment
NYU Stern typically does not permit students to switch from the Executive MBA program to either the Full-time or the Part-time programs after enrollment in the Executive MBA program. Please carefully consider which program is best suited to your goals prior to applying.

Verification Process
NYU Stern may verify applicant records and other reported data to maintain the strict standards and honor code of the NYU Stern School of Business. If NYU Stern requests verification, you may be responsible for the fee for this service.
