Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Tell us about an “only at McKinsey” moment you’ve had so far. I feel like these happen all the time. I am consistently surprised at the background of many of the people that I work with.  I regularly encounter people who have really impressive backgrounds – former professional athletes, professional musicians, and more."

Excerpt from Busines of Fashion -- “The two areas to highlight are sustainability and DEI initiatives because these are drivers that determine which companies a candidate is going to choose. [Still] I think it would be naive to expect companies to have made all these changes — they are tremendous and require real structural shifts with new people in the leadership roles.”

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "NYU Stern’s location in the heart of the business capital of the world, New York, was the biggest reason I decided to attend NYU Stern. While many other institutions could provide a great network of people and education, I thought that Stern would allow me to truly immerse myself in the dynamic and always-moving business scene of a global city. I was also very impressed with Stern’s emphasis on leading change, which resonated with my entrepreneurial passion."

Excerpt from Town & Country -- “We have found that because our students come in as senior executives with significant work experience (an average of 14 years), and they submit transcripts from undergraduate and graduate programs, along with any certifications they might have earned, we already have enough data points to measure academic preparedness for the program without a standardized test score,” Neha Singhal, assistant dean for executive degree programs, admissions, and marketing at NYU Stern, said in a statement. “In fact, we have found that the data points based on work experience and academic performance are a better indicator of a student's success in the program versus a standardized test score.”

Excerpt from mbaMission -- "One [professor] that comes immediately to mind is Tensie Whelan, who is not only a faculty member but also the head of our Center for Sustainable Business. And what's really interesting is that they've recently launched a career development program, specifically for women looking to go into sustainable finance. And giving them two years of support in navigating that landscape, which is pretty unique and exciting. It's called Empower."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? The experiences that the students bring to the classroom from their prior careers provide great opportunities for me to learn, and for the material to 'come to life.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? Several things: (1) Sharing reality with students in a variety of ways; (2) the back-and-forth banter that makes class extra fun; (3) getting to know my students on a one-on-one basis, satiating my natural curiosity about individual backgrounds; (4) being around passionate, well-rounded people who have varied interests and want their work to have meaning – qualities that I like to think I share, deeply."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? I learn so much from my students every time I teach. Our MBA students are exceptionally connected to the cutting edge of what is going on in business and society. And so a lot of the ideas and examples they bring into the classroom are a year or two ahead of what is being talked about in the media. They also don’t always neatly fit the frameworks we study in strategy, which makes for a fun and interesting conversations in class."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "In Stern’s Leadership for the 21st Century course, Fraser teaches a module on developing intercultural competence — the ability to collaborate effectively with people of different cultural backgrounds. The key is understanding, through an open dialogue, people’s various dimensions of difference in order to connect and relate to them on a human level, he says."

NYU Stern alumna Elizabeth Elting (MBA ’92) has donated $2 million to EFL to provide investment funding for promising women-centric businesses that have successfully completed the program.

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "'We designed the program for two types of students,' says Kathleen DeRose, academic director of the MSFT. 'Professionals in the finance industry eager to understand the challenges of digital transformation, and professionals in the technology industry ready to improve their knowledge of financial services.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I knew there would be great opportunities, but NYU Stern opened doors to a new career that I didn’t even know existed – I never thought I would intern at a cannabis edibles technology start-up and also at a cannabis SPAC within a few months of being in b-school (both internships were found via NYU Stern network)!"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU Stern’s greatest differentiating factor has always been the community. When I visited prospective MBA programs, I was extremely sensitive to whether or not I felt like I “fit in.” Every single Sternie who was kind enough to make time to chat with me – which, to be clear, was everyone I contacted – immediately struck me as someone I would love to have in my class, on my team in the office, or even just join me for a drink. The conversations were effortless, and I found myself genuinely having a good time getting to know these folks. When I combined the quality of my cultural fit with the benefit of a smaller class size compared to other programs I was considering, it just felt right. I was confident that I would leave my MBA experience at Stern with an incredible, active network of lifelong friends."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "New York Stern’s finance specialization has a keen focus on bankruptcy, equity markets, futures and option, volatility, valuation, and behavioural finance. MBA students gain an understanding of asset management, and corporate finance that makes them far more employable in the finance sector."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "New York University’s Stern School of Business launched its hybrid MBA program in November 2021. It’s a program that is flexible in nature—allowing students to complete the core MBA curriculum online and elective courses in person."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "At Stern, I was able to stretch myself and practice the skills I knew I would need to master to succeed in my post-MBA role. As co-president of Stern Women in Business — the largest club at Stern — I was able to develop my leadership and communication skills to ensure the success of the club while transitioning to a virtual environment. I was also able to take advantage of special opportunities, such as the Leadership Fellows program and various student activities, like being an Orientation Leader and an Admissions Graduate Ambassador."

Excerpt from Fortune -- "With this new format, Stern will add to its existing offerings, which include a full-time MBA program (ranked No. 7 by Fortune) and top-ranked part-time and executive MBA programs. And yet, Stern is now the only top 10 business school to offer a hybrid MBA program."
