Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Quartz -- "'Transparency is desirable for many different kinds of stakeholders and perhaps unsurprisingly, all frameworks reward companies for being transparent,' the report states. 'But with respect to social measurement, transparency is too often treated as an end unto itself; companies are rewarded simply for the act of disclosing, rather than delivering particular outcomes.'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "'Social measurement must evaluate what is most meaningful, not what is most convenient,' Casey O’Connor, co-author of the report and Sani Fellow at the Center for Business and Human Rights, wrote in an e-mail response to questions March 15."

Excerpt from EBS Korea -- "'Failure is definitely an important part of it. Otherwise, you don't learn. But, as far as the motivation behind doing this project, it is not the money.' - Rahul Kumar (BS '13) '...Everybody who enters the competition... is not going to go on after the competition and start a business. But that's OK, because, more importantly, we're looking for people who are innovators, they understand the process of vetting ideas, and just going forth and just being more comfortable creatively.' - Professor Cynthia Franklin"

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "While we are all of course told that our networks will probably be one of the most valuable things we take away from the MBA experience, I think I underestimated just how much I would come to rely on mine. My peers here have proven to be my great asset; they provide encouragement, advice, introductions, and go above and beyond to do so. It is because of all the people and resources that make up my tremendous Stern support system that I feel confident I will be successful in pursuing my career path, as 'unstructured' as it may be."

Excerpt from LinkedIn -- "We are still less than a decade from the darkest economic times in our recent history. The national debt is at or about 100% of GDP, the Fed has a balance sheet that is more than five times its pre-crisis size, and inflation just finally ticked up to where we like to see it. The political attacks that surround the Fed are not new to central banking but the economy is still on recovering ground, and not in a place where we can afford to make any mistakes."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "This quantity of courses, coupled with its emphasis on experiential learning, sets Stern apart in Sundaram’s view.

Excerpt from MindaNews -- "'Practically, our plan is to engage MBA students from the Stern School of Business of NYU in what is called a Stern Signature Project.

Excerpt from Metro MBA -- "Should you earn your MBA or your JD? Each has its pros and cons and can set you up in different ways, so which is better? Instead of choosing, why not get both? That’s exactly what you can do at the NYU Stern School of Business through the school’s dual degree programs."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "In 2013, New York University’s Stern School of Business unveiled a master’s degree in business analytics, and in that time schools from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business to the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business to business schools at Michigan State, Arizona State University, and the University of Rochester have revamped or announced graduate degrees, undergraduate minors, or MBA emphases in big data. Now, data science is rapidly becoming one of the most popular business majors at universities that offer the degree."

These experiential learning projects broadened students’ perspective on humanity, Shlomo Angel, a professor at NYU said, and had 'nothing to do with making money.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "The vision behind the scholarship is very much in line with the efforts and initiatives of the popular student club Stern Women in Business (SWIB).

This is in keeping with the club’s goal of providing a forum where diverse experiences, perspectives and resources can be shared."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Participation in the projects 'widens students’ perspective of humanity', says Shlomo 'Solly' Angel, a professor at NYU’s Marron Institute of Urban Planning. 'Projects like this have nothing to do with making money,' he says. 'They have to do with students getting acquainted with people who are so different from them in terms of culture, income and outlook.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'After taking Summer@Stern, students have a better idea of what it would be like to study business in college and whether it is something they want to pursue,' [Deo] says.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants for Undergrads -- "'Over the years, we started realizing that there was an increased interest, both from the students and from companies outside,' says Rohit Deo, acting dean.

We have this long tradition of teaching ethics, so this semester we decided to formalize it by launching this.'"

'At NYU Stern, we have a really strong understanding of our unique geographic advantage. New York is the fashion capital of the world. Anyone who’s anyone is here, whether they’re an American company or an Asian company. If you don’t have a presence here, you won’t make it globally,' Carr says. 'So given that everyone is here, we have a great opportunity to bring in speakers.' ... Li has taken several electives in the luxury marketing track already, including the experiential seminar, and believes that they’ve prepared her well for her internships. 'It really gave me a good sense of luxury retail operations, how the different functions play together to form the company and how the company would run on a day-to-day basis,' she says."

Excerpt from Accepted.com -- "We value IQ and EQ – both intelligence and leadership. Our approach to academics is distinctive: it’s a mixed approach (not just lecture based or case-based, but a mix of approaches). We provide a range of opportunities; our courses are taught by a range of faculty (from Nobel Prize winners to practitioners who teach part time). There’s a lot of flexibility in the program – you can pursue between up to three specializations (or no specialization). And you can take classes overseas, or at other NYU grad schools."
