Change. Envision it. NYU Stern Online MS in Quantitative Management Program Celebrates Fifth Cohort.
NYU Stern’s Online MS In Quantitative Management Program welcomed its newest cohort in August during the first of two residential immersions in NYC
In August, NYU Stern’s Online MS in Quantitative Management (MSQM) Program welcomed its newest students, marking the program’s fifth cohort. Stern’s online MSQM has been synonymous with innovation from the start; at launch, Stern was the first and only top-ranked US business school to establish a master’s in management online.
Since then, the program has continued to trailblaze. Stern’s MSQM not only provides students with core business management fundamentals, but also cutting-edge data analytics skills so students are prepared to lead in today’s data-driven business world. The structure of the part-time, 20-month program provides working professional students with flexibility and convenience. Twenty-two carefully crafted short courses are taken one at a time and delivered online with mostly asynchronous content, so students can continue to work and immediately apply learnings with ease. The cohort model also allows students to work collaboratively and build lasting relationships with their peer network. Additionally, the program uniquely includes two residential immersions in New York City, allowing students to connect in person with one another as well as Stern’s world-renowned faculty and business leaders. And what’s more – students have the option to either complete the program or transfer to the Langone Part-time MBA Program, apply all earned credits, and earn an MBA instead.

The program prepares students to be leaders and data-savvy managers through a format that provides convenience, community, and access to NYC. With the added advantage of offering a pathway to the MBA, Stern’s MSQM is in a class of its own.”
