Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "'Stern has always taken an applicant-centric approach, including being on the forefront of offering students standardized test flexibility without compromising our ability to assess academic readiness for our rigorous MBA,' she says. 'In addition to the GMAT, Stern was among the first top schools to accept the GRE, and later added the Executive Assessment, LSAT, and MCAT to our test options given our dual-degree business programs in law and medicine.'”
 
"Stern, the No. 15 school (up from 16th) in the most recent P&Q ranking, enrolled an MBA class that — bucking trends — notched an average GMAT score and average undergraduate GPA that were both the highest in school history. The lowest GMAT score to gain entry to Stern was a 640, much higher than the previous year’s 600. Stern also enrolled its highest-ever number of women, at 43% of the class. Stern’s class Graduate Record Exam average was also up, as was the percentage of the class that submitted GRE scores."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "Across the top 25, while 13 schools saw increases in intern pay, many were very small. Tracking from 2018, when only one U.S. B-school cracked the $9,000 threshold for median monthly MBA intern salary (NYU Stern School of Business), we see a jump in 2019 when there were seven, and two others that were only $23 short." 
 
"'Our partnership with employers and alumni was key to student success as we deepened existing connections and created new opportunities,' Beth Briggs, associate dean of career services at NYU Stern, told P&Q last year. 'These relationships resulted in all first-year students who were seeking a summer internship securing one.'"

Excerpt from Find MBA-- "New York University’s Stern School of Business and the School of Law have teamed up to bridge the two disciplines with a JD/MBA dual degree. It builds foundational skills for careers in law and business over a four-year period. Graduates of the program go on to work in law firms, in-house legal teams, investment and accounting firms, as well as nonprofits and government institutions. Admitted students are automatically considered for one of a range of scholarships."

This course is designed to assist executives in developing the knowledge, skills and perspective they need to understand and address these environmental and social challenges, and build companies that meet the needs of society while delivering economic returns to shareholders and stakeholders.

For the first four weeks of this program, students will learn how to program in R for effective data manipulation and visualization. They will also develop the ability to create control structures, such as loops and conditional statements, to traverse, sort, merge, and evaluate data. The following four weeks of the program will focus on techniques for data preparation — how to choose, create, and edit graphics, as well as best practices for presenting your visualizations.

In this 4-week course, students will learn how to program in R for effective data manipulation and visualization. Students will import, transform, and manipulate datasets for various analytical purposes. Students will develop the ability to create control structures, such as loops and conditional statements to traverse, sort, merge, and evaluate data. This course is designed for those who have no experience in R or programming.

Excerpt from EdSurge-- "Putting that concept partially into practice is assistant professor João Sedoc, who asks students to converse with a customized chatbot as a way to get feedback about his courses in technology, operations and statistics at the New York University Stern School of Business. He likes that the artificially intelligent tool relates to his tech curriculum. And he suspects that the engaging nature of a chatbot elicits more feedback from students than if he instead used an online survey or a Google form.
 
'People express themselves more,' Sedoc says. 'Which is always good—the more they tell me, the more I know.'”

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "Besides the eminent faculty and the accomplished student body, what drove my decision to attend NYU Stern was its location. Being in New York City, NYU Stern affords its students unique opportunities that many other schools cannot. Students can attend class in the morning, leave campus to network with an alum, and still make it back in time for their next class or meeting. NYU Stern’s curriculum also reflects this location advantage through its host of experiential learning courses. For example, I participated in Endless Frontier Labs, a program for early stage deep tech and life sciences startups housed at NYU Stern. Through this program, MBA students are paired with a startup to help the company define and execute on strategic priorities. Students also participate in real-time mentorship meetings, through which they are given the opportunity to collaborate with industry leaders and VCs."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "Still, we must answer the burning question: What school can boast the highest overall pay in 2020? In a bit of a surprise, NYU Stern School of Business — which countered the trend to grow its MBA pay more than 4% to $175,157 — claims the crown."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "This year marks the 20th anniversary of Stern Undergraduate College’s Honors Program and the 10-year anniversary of SPUR. Both are programs that have helped undergraduate Stern students, like Lu, build the foundation for a future in research."

"'You’ve seen this type of research done at the undergraduate level traditionally more in the arts and sciences setting, but the innovation we’ve had is bringing it to the undergraduate business school setting,' Robert Whitelaw, vice dean of the Undergraduate College at Stern, says."

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "I chose NYU Stern for a few reasons. The first thing that stood out to me was the flexibility in the curriculum. There were a number of classes that would allow me to work with other students on real-world problems. The second factor was the community. After attending Discover Stern Weekend hosted by the Association of Hispanic and Black Business Students (AHBBS), I knew that I could bring my whole self to the program. The third factor was location. As a Jersey girl, I was ready to return to the east coast, home of various industries and opportunities."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "My most significant takeaways from the NYU Stern Executive MBA program were uncovering the diverse range of challenges that business organizations face, developing strategies and structures for hyper-competitive organizations, and understanding the greater complexity of shaping corporate culture. Furthermore, the versatility of the program’s specializations allowed me the opportunity to pursue subject areas I have not worked in before. As a result, I now have the option to pursue opportunities to pivot to new industries or job functions that seemed out of my scope prior to the program."
