Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “If I could do one thing differently for my MBA experience, I wish that I would have taken advantage of office hours with my professors from the beginning. I leveraged my peers a great deal for support with challenging coursework. Once I started utilizing office hours with professors, I was blown away by how helpful they were and how much the faculty prioritized learning and development. All of Stern’s faculty also have extremely impressive backgrounds and robust industry knowledge. Often times, I would learn even more about a given topic or industry simply by grabbing coffee with them or visiting during office hours.”
 

NYU Stern School of Business has announced today that the MS in Business Analytics (MSBA) Program has a new name: MS in Business Analytics and AI (MSBAi). 
 

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "She said that's particularly true for those students who aren't sure what they want to do in the long term, because accounting is a skill you can draw upon in many types of industries. Shehata said some of her former accounting students, for example, were at places like Google and Apple in fraud detection. 'Accounting is everywhere,' she said."
 

Excerpt from Executive Courses -- "'Executives are making decisions now that will affect the sustainability of the future,' says Whelan, a professor at Stern. 'We want to have immediate impact as well as future impact.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Why did you choose this business school? 'Stern’s unmatched access – geographical, academic, and professional – to all kinds of companies. I knew this would best position me to shift functions and industries once I was in business school, as well as broaden the scope of how I think about my optionality in my career down the line.'"
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "I chose NYU Stern because of the Fertitta Veterans MBA Program. I was nervous about transitioning out of the military and moving to a new city where I did not know anyone. I was sold when I learned that Stern offered a program that allowed veterans and active-duty students to come to campus early in a special cohort for a summer session as a way to ease the transition to business school. To this day, I think fondly of that experience and ultimately, I believe it is why our veteran community is so close-knit."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "NYU Stern’s EMBA program emphasized both the integrity and quality of the program and the diversity of classmates. I was looking to learn from my cohort as much as I learned from my professors, and I am incredibly grateful that that has happened."

Excerpt from Find MBA -- “'The introduction of this full-time MBA to the region is groundbreaking for students who want to earn an MBA from one of the world’s leading business schools in just one year and build a career in a region that is seeing exponential growth,' says Raghu Sundaram, dean emeritus at NYU Stern."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "Grennan warns against chasing industries in general, and advises people to go with what they're good at. He said he strongly encourages MBAs to discover 'their gift and passion' and then get trained on AI 'so they can elevate the quality and efficiency of their work,' regardless of the role or industry they choose."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "I love the fact that the school offers such a creative way for applicants to share key elements of their background."
 

Researching topics not often covered in finance, like climate change and social capital, Professor Johannes Stroebel's influential work leads the conversation in these emerging spaces and impacts government policy. 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- “NYU Stern’s approach to the question of change is catchy. It sets up, for its students, a tagline, daring them to fill the gap in “Change:…… it”, urges them to create their own manifesto and asks them to explain how they will “dream,” “drive” or “dare it.” “Change,” they write, is “the only constant.”
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “'EQ is core to Stern’s values; we screen for it, we stress it in our admissions process. I can confirm that when I speak with employers (recruiters and hiring managers) and ask about what they see from our students that is different, this is 100% what they say – Stern MBAs are team-oriented, cooperative, fun to be around, different and unique, and possess high EQ. At the same time, Stern MBAs bring strong tech and quantitative skills to the table. Data analytics is part of Stern’s core curriculum and is built into so many classes throughout the MBA experience. In today’s global, tech-driven environment, it’s a cost of entry requirement for doing business.'”
 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "This may seem obvious because 'New York' is in our name and is our location, but it goes so much deeper than that; what sets us apart is how we leverage NYC across many dimensions! Stern is in and of the city, and we’ve made it a priority to be intertwined with it. What does this mean for our students? The many benefits of this one-of-a-kind city we call home are core to our MBA programs, from our curriculum, to internships, to careers and lifelong peer networks."
 

Excerpt from Find MBA -- “'My goal is to make sure students are critical thinkers and lifelong learners. I encourage them to dabble with AI, but try not to put it on a pedestal,' Seamans says. He prepares his students by integrating AI into courses on strategy, game theory and data-driven decision making, while also directing Stern’s Center for the Future of Management, which focuses on the evolving global business landscape."

Excerpt from AACSB Insights -- "The Stern School of Business at New York University in New York City is launching a new Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing. The goal is to bring together business leaders and management scholars to help individuals answer the question, 'What should I do with my life, and why?' To that end, the initiative will focus on program development, conferences and events, and research and outreach. It will be led by professor of management Suzy Welch, who teaches a class called 'Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Life You Want and Need.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "NYU Stern’s one-year MBA in luxury is changing: after a five-year stint as the ‘Fashion and Luxury’ MBA, it has been refreshed and given the new name of NYU Stern Luxury & Retail MBA. Stern is rolling out updates for the one-year program – promising to put its wildly-popular experiential learning firmly at the front and center, to rebrand in order to better reflect program content, and to imbue its curriculum with ever more industry contact." 

Excerpt from Fortune -- “'I think getting an MBA in general, and certainly more now, is about being adaptable, being able to be able to learn, being able to figure out what’s next for you all the time,' explains J.P. Eggers, vice dean for MBA and graduate programs at NYU’s Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "NYU Stern boasts unique application requirements. That starts with the Pick Six Essay, where students select six photos accompanied by a one sentence caption to reflect the passions and pursuits. Consider it a conversation starter that spotlights who candidates are beyond their academic achievements and professional credentials. Along with a 150-word introduction and a 500-word optional essay, Stern also assigns an essay around its identity – “Change. Dare it. Dream it. Drive it” – that is also the structure of its revamped core curriculum. Here, MBA applicants select one word to accompany “Change” to show how change has impacted their personal narrative and how they will embrace it at Stern – all in 350 words."
 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "All sorts of people go to business school and no you don't need a business degree in undergrad. So we certainly have folks who have done an undergraduate degree in business, but we also have economics, STEM fields, liberal arts, history ... We have people from the military, we have people from Teach for America — all sorts of backgrounds." 
 

NYU Stern is refreshing its one-of-a-kind one-year MBA in luxury, including three new unique initiatives to further embed students in the industry.  

Excerpt from Fortune -- “'If what a student mostly needs is—and what they're after is—the credential and the education, there's a lot of evidence that many of the elements that are available through online programs or part time programs can be really good at ways to deliver those things,' adds Eggers, who soon will lead the Stern school as its interim dean."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Highest in the top 25: NYU Stern School of Business: 3.34."
 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "I was drawn to this course because a key reason for pursuing an MBA was to create far-reaching social impact in my career. Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity to do so within the program itself. I had always imagined my MBA journey taking me beyond the classroom and to parts of the world that could benefit the most from the skills and resources I was acquiring. On a personal level, I have always shared a connection with India through my family and was keen to discover it through this unique new lens."
