NYU Stern Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA Students Engage with Top NYC-based Technology Firms During Their First Semester

In May 2019, NYU Stern welcomed the incoming class of Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA students to campus to begin their focused one-year MBA program.

During their first semester, students took courses in both the required Business and Technology cores. The summer curriculum also included a Stern Solutions experiential learning course, the NYC Immersion, with Verizon 5G Labs, where students worked hands-on to create solutions solving common issues in the manufacturing industry leveraging 5G technology.

As part of the NYC Immersion Stern Solutions course, students also stepped out into New York City to engage with Silicon Alley companies each week. The students met with leaders at companies including Deloitte Digital, JP Morgan Chase, Nestio, Uber and Union Square Ventures to gain insights from executives leading the conversations in their industries.

Throughout the summer, students also took part in workshops focused on topics facing the tech sector today, such as Cybersecurity, Design Thinking, Storytelling with Data, and User Experience.
