Realize the potential of a Stern degree

Students leave Stern with excellent preparation for the real-world – a strong intellectual foundation plus practical experience. In a typical year, nearly all of our seniors secure full-time employment within a few months of graduating.

Given our proximity to Wall Street, we enjoy a reputation as a springboard to success in the financial world. However, each year Stern graduates also launch careers in consulting, corporate management, public and corporate accounting, marketing and advertising, entrepreneurial ventures, and in the public and non-profit spheres. Many also go on to graduate study, both in business and fields such as law. Within five years of graduating, 40% of alumni have enrolled in graduate programs.
