This core consists of: - Economics of Global Business (ECON-UB 11) - Beginning with the Classes of 2027\* and going forward, students are required to complete a Global Experience through any of the following: (i) [NYU semester away](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/global/nyu-study-away), (ii) [Stern International Business Exchange (IBEX) semester away](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/global/international-business-exchange-program), (iii) [Stern short-term immersion course](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/global/short-term-immersions), or (iv) other NYU global experiences, such as [NYU school-specific programs](https://www.nyu.edu/academics/studying-abroad/school-specific-programs.html) or the [NYU exchange program](https://www.nyu.edu/academics/studying-abroad/exchange/internationalexchange.html). Online courses from a study away site taken while studying in Washington Square do not satisfy the requirement. NYU Stern is committed to making a Global Experience accessible for all students, and there are aid opportunities available for those with demonstrated financial need. *\*Recommended for Classes of 2024-2026* ## **Senior Capstone** The NYC Consulting Capstone (MULT-UB 303) leverages Stern’s NYC network to provide students an opportunity to synthesize, integrate, and apply what they learned during their undergraduate career via a hands-on experiential learning class. They will collaborate with a client organization to develop an academically-guided but practically-focused analysis and proposed solution to a real-world client challenge. Students will revisit and integrate critical topics, including strategy and problem-solving, analysis and research methods, presentation skills, and issues specific to their chosen course section. - 3 credits - Prerequisite: Organizational Communication & Its Social Context (SOIM-UB 65) and senior standing - Corequisite: Economics of Global Business (ECON-UB 11) ## Business Concentrations ## **The NYU Stern Undergraduate College offers 12 concentrations:** - [Accounting](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/accounting) - [Actuarial Science](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/actuarial-science)\*\* - [Computing and Data Science](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/computing-and-data-science) - [Economics](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/economics) - Business Economics - Econometrics & Quantitative Economics - [Entrepreneurship](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/entrepreneurship)\* - [Finance](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/finance) - [Management and Organizations](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/management-organizations) - [Marketing](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/marketing) - [Operations](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/operations-management) - [Real Estate](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/bs-business/real-estate) - [Statistics](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/statistics) - [Sustainable Business](http://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/current-students/undergraduate/academics/degree-programs/business-program/sustainable-business) ## **Important To Know...** - You are required to [declare at least one concentration](http://w4.stern.nyu.edu/uc/form/concentration/) (but no more than two) by the **end of your junior year** to graduate as a BS in Business degree student - A concentration requires at least 12 credits of designated advanced coursework - For course descriptions, prerequisites, and course scheduling options for each concentration area, please see the Albert. or the [Stern Bulletin](https://bulletins.nyu.edu/undergraduate/business/). - To find "-GB" level courses, make sure that the "undergraduate" filter on the left-hand side of Albert's course search is off, then search in the appropriate department.
