Excerpt from Find MBA -- "Back at Stern in New York, career outcomes for graduates of the Fashion and Luxury MBA Program have remained bright as well. 'Since the program launched, employment rates have jumped to 94 percent three months after graduation. These outcomes speak to the industry demand for MBA talent with the specialized knowledge and skills,' says Serdari."  
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "When first designed, the curriculum focused on predictive modeling, or what will happen next, Ghose says. Focus has shifted over the last decade to causal inference – why did this happen and how will it impact the future? – to better meet professional demands on the job. The program regularly updates the curriculum to cover the most timely topics such as modern Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, Web 3.0, and econometrics.

“'At its core, Stern’s MSBA empowers students to become data scientists who can leverage the potential of data analysis to drive decision making and innovate new opportunities for competitive advantage,' Ghose says."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? I love the creativity that my students display in their end-of-term fintech startup projects, where they develop their own idea for a fintech startup and how it should best be financed. I also love hearing about how our class topics intersect with their careers and experiences."

Excerpt from Accepted.com -- "Firstly being access, and really this is, we are located in the heart of New York City and we fully take advantage of that. We are so connected across businesses and industries, from FinTech to fashion, from media to marketing, you name it, we’ve got Stern alumni there and the beauty is, they’re just a subway right away. So we really are in the heart of the city and take advantage of it."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Stern offers the one-year Andre Koo Tech MBA Program that perfectly balanced my time away from the workplace and my career goals in the technology industry.

Excerpt from AACSB Insights -- "IESE Business School, based in Barcelona, Spain, and the executive education program at New York University’s Stern School of Business are teaming up to launch the C-Suite Pathway Program.

It will be taught through a mix of in-person modules, online modules, and self-paced study. The in-person classes will be held at NYU Stern as well as IESE’s New York campus. Executives also will be able to participate in the Personalized Leadership Journey component of the program, in which they receive one-on-one executive coaching on honing their leadership styles and improving their capacity to drive positive change."

Excerpt from MiM Guide -- "'In recent years, we are seeing a wider range of industry backgrounds and experience levels from students, which demonstrates the broad appeal and relevancy of business analytics across fields and functions,' says professor Anindya Ghose, academic director of Stern’s MS in Business Analytics Program."

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "'Going back to school after time in the workforce can be an adjustment. Coursework is demanding, and incoming students need to manage their time to ensure those needs are being met, while also building relationships with their classmates and preparing for their internship search,' says Lindsay Loyd, executive director of MBA admissions at New York University’s Stern School of Business."

"That is why Stern has its LAUNCH orientation for incoming MBA students, which helps set the tone for the program and supports them in understanding what to expect during the first year of the program." 
 

Excerpt from GreenBiz -- "Key topics covered: Reporting and certification standards; materiality and stakeholder mapping; supply chains; the circular economy; innovation; customers, employees and sustainability; monetizing the sustainability ROI; sustainable finance; ESG investing; net positive future"

Excerpt from Fortune -- "In a typical case study exercise, students in business school classes are given a brief to read ahead of time along with questions about how they might handle the particular business challenge at hand. But this may not actually be a 'fair test' because students are only reading about the scenario, notes Nathan Pettit, founding director of the NYU Stern Leadership Accelerator, tells Fortune.

"'And frankly, what the student says they would do probably doesn’t approximate what they would actually do if they were faced with that real scenario,' Pettit adds. 'The live case model is one-of-a-kind pedagogical outgrowth of this vision around accelerating experience and having students learn through difficult scenarios.'"
 

Excerpt from MBA Chic — “We know from research over time that positive relationships at work or relationships that feel really energizing are really critical…for our wellbeing, for our satisfaction, engagement at work and turnover,” she says.

Excerpt from U.S. News -- "A generalist receives foundational knowledge across core business subjects. This route 'also gives students options to dive deeper and explore their interests via electives, specializations and experiential learning,' says Lindsay Loyd, executive director of MBA admissions at the New York University Stern School of Business."
