Hundreds of MBA students fill these positions every year. Moreover, Stern runs a Loan Assistance Program, which lessons the burden of repaying business school loans for graduates who pursue careers in social enterprise."

Each year all students in NYU Stern's Executive MBA Washington, DC Program (EMBA DC) participate in a Speaker Series course featuring industry practitioners led by Professor Naomi Diamant, EMBA Programs academic director and Executive Programs assistant dean. 

The year-long course is designed to foster a deeper interdisciplinary understanding and broader perspective of current issues, opportunities, and challenges leaders face in today’s dynamic business environment.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I chose Stern because, at my core, I am a community-driven person. Stern’s full-time class size of approximately 350 students is, in my opinion, the sweet spot. It is small enough that everyone knows most of their classmates, but not so small that everyone is in each other’s business. This is a thread that also connects my choice of undergraduate institution, previous employer, and post-MBA company. Having a strong sense of community is important to me."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "Looking back at my time at Stern, I am most proud of the work I completed during my Stern Solutions Project. For this class, I worked in a group of five with the nonprofit organization called The Last Prisoner Project. Our project was aimed at improving their fundraising so that the organization could increase its impact and improve their ability to advocate for criminal justice reform. What I thought would be a project that would improve my strategic thinking ended up being so much more."

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "NYU Stern became my top-choice school. Sternies are very easy-going and collaborative, and the community has a diverse culture. In addition, NYU Stern is in the center of Manhattan, New York. I thought being located in New York would be a great opportunity to establish a network in the US."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "What drew me to Stern was the sense of community and the intelligent, interesting people who comprised it. Being an engaged member of the Stern community is the foundation for making the most of all of the classes, clubs and experiences that you’ll have. We are a smaller program, and I loved that it allowed me to know more of the people around me and make my foundation as strong as possible."
