Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Financial analysis previously was foreign and mystifying to me. He made analyzing financial statements not only very digestible, but also taught me how to read between those lines. He has a great sense of humor that clicked with me; everything discussed in class could be challenged, which made for very worthwhile class lectures.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “In the current climate of change and uncertainty in the tech sector, Stern is here to support tech professionals and entrepreneurs,” says JP Eggers, NYU Stern’s academic director of the Andre Koo Tech MBA and vice dean for MBA programs. “The school offers the most relevant and efficient MBA option to learn quickly, engage with industry while riding out the storm, and emerge ready to reenter the workforce in 12 short months.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Our BTE immersion classes taught by Professor Ashish Bhatia have been most valuable in growing my startup. This class has a particular emphasis on experiential learning, effectuation theory, and design thinking. The biggest lesson that I learned from this class is to embrace the unknown when it comes to the ideation process of entrepreneurship."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I was definitely attracted to the network at NYU Stern, which is particularly strong in New York City (where I wanted to end up). Its location means that Stern students are more easily able to have in-person coffee chats, corporate presentations, and site visits with companies in the city."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'We have intentionally set up the option to be a hybrid of online and in-person because we believe that coming to New York City and taking some of the classes on campus is an integral component of the NYU Stern MBA experience,' JP Eggers, Stern’s vice dean of MBA and graduate programs, told P&Q at the program’s launch."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Even as gender parity continues to be an elusive goal for the majority of MBA programs, here, now, is an MBA that has enrolled more women than men – and in tech no less. For the Class of 2023, Stern’s tech MBA is 55% women, up from the 42% it enrolled for its inaugural class.
 
Meanwhile, it’s achieved 100% employment for 2 out of 3 of its graduating classes."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Stern made the transition easier than I could have imagined through the Fertitta Veterans Program, named for alumnus Lorenzo Fertitta (MBA ’93) and his brother Frank J. Fertitta III thanks to their transformative gift to Stern. This Program allows first-year Veterans to start in July, where they take core classes while receiving tailored career coaching and early networking opportunities with target firms from various industries. This early start allowed me to feel confident and well prepared when the rest of my class arrived on campus for LAUNCH (Stern’s full-time MBA orientation), and consulting recruiting which kicked off a few weeks later. Reflecting on my transition, Stern is the best decision I could have made, not only because it has allowed me to achieve my career goals, but also because I know that when I graduate in May 2023, I will do so with a group of lifelong friends."

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "It is much the same at NYU Stern School of Business in New York, where the full-time MBA class of 2022 achieved record-high employment outcomes, including the highest ever median base salary and mean total compensation, and job acceptance rates in line with pre-pandemic levels."

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "At Stern, even the students who choose online courses are required to take nine in-person credits, which can be completed on nights or weekends, or by doing an intensive weeklong session."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "The big advantage we have is the fact that we’re sitting in New York with our network; The range and depth of opportunities that we can offer is just a little bit different than what can be offered perhaps elsewhere. We’re talking to companies that are a 15-minute subway ride away."

Excerpt from Analytics Insight --  "Graduates of [NYU Stern's MS in Business Analytics] will be equipped to influence decision-making and strategy, and they will ultimately drive better business results by gaining the ability to transform data into a powerful and predictive strategic asset. Business Analytics is critical in preparing organizations to solve 21st-century business challenges and participants of this program will have exposure to innovative methodologies that support data-driven decision-making."

Excerpt from TouchMBA --  "New York is a hub for television and theater production as well as the setting of fan favorites like 30 Rock and Law and Order. At NYU Stern, students can specialize in Entertainment and Media, where they’ll have opportunities to travel to France for the Cannes Film Festival or stay local in NYC with an internship at HBO."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause --  "NYU Stern is leading the pack of MBA grads with record-breaking salaries after releasing its employment report that showed median base salaries for the Class of 2022 have reached a huge $170k—this is a $15k increase from the previous cohort.
 
"The New York City-based school has confirmed the average total compensation for its grads was roughly $196k, which presents an almost 8% rise from 2021 and the school’s highest ever figure to date."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- Dean Raghu Sundaram immediately loved the idea and invited her to take a swing at it. She did just that, writing a detailed curriculum for a seven-week course from scratch called Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Career You Want and Need. “Our New York City location affords us many extraordinary advantages, not least our unparalleled access to so many top business and thought leaders who bring their real-world experiences directly into our classrooms,” says Sundaram. “Suzy is a superb case in point. When she and I first spoke, she described her thoughts to me of teaching a course centered around self-awareness, authenticity and the central question about one’s true life purpose, I jumped at it. It was an exciting idea. She said she wished she had had such a course when she was doing her MBA; I wish I had too.”

Excerpt from Fortune -- "'With Wall Street in our backyard, Stern has a decades-long foundation in financial services. Our world-renowned faculty prepare top students to be leaders in the industry, who then graduate to become alumni who remain highly engaged with the school and active in hiring our MBAs,' Associate Dean of Career Services Brian Ruggiero tells Fortune. 'In more recent years, Stern has meticulously built a similar reputation in consulting, with graduates bringing high [emotional intelligence] to these firms.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “'NYU Stern’s two-year, full-time MBA Class of 2022 fully embodies Stern’s ethos around not only embracing, but also leading change,' Associate Dean of Career Services Brian Ruggiero says.

It is 35% women, 30% underrepresented minorities, and 25% come from international backgrounds. Further, about a third of students come from outside the local area, a testament to the wider draw of its flexible, once-a-month format."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Remember you are building your brand, says NYU Stern graduate Ozgun Saran, vice-president for US equity capital markets in Deutsche Bank’s origination and advisory division. 'Treat your EMBA as an extension of who you are — from how you carry yourself, to which programme you choose to represent. It will be a challenging one- or two-year networking session, which will be all worth it once you achieve the fruits of your labour.'"

Excerpt from Financial Times -- “'The challenge with geopolitics is that it’s a global topic that’s always evolving, so you need to constantly update your expertise,' says Robert Falkner, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics, which delivers the Trium Global EMBA jointly with HEC Paris and NYU Stern School of Business in New York."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Kim Corfman, vice dean for online learning and professor of marketing at NYU Stern, explains: 'We believe that to be a successful manager or leader in today’s world, you need to be data-savvy. What we did was take the MBA core and added analytics courses to help people become data-savvy and intelligent consumers of data.'"

Overall, the class includes students from 41 countries who range in age from 23-42."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "As Stern explains it, EQ (or emotional intelligence) skills include 'self-awareness, empathy, communication and self-management.' I knew that I needed more foundational knowledge in business. However, I was confident that I had years of practice in these EQ skills. To me, Stern felt like a place where I would feel valued as a member of the community."
