Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "The NYU Stern MBA deadlines for the 2021-2022 admissions season are presented in the table below. The Leonard N. Stern School of Business is conducting its full-time MBA admissions process across four rounds this admissions season."

Endless Frontier Labs (EFL), a program for early-stage science and technology-based startups at New York University Stern School of Business, is proud to announce the launch of the 2021-2022 application and the program’s expansion into a third track: Digital Tech. The Digital Tech track, which supplements the existing Life Sciences and Deep Tech tracks, serves startups developing novel software, artificial intelligence machine learning, or data and digital services with applications in finance, health, security, supply chains, education, retail, media, e-commerce, and related verticals.

This Spring, NYU Stern’s Leadership Accelerator debuted its first live case, an emerging educational form Stern is trailblazing to hone full-time MBA students’ leadership agility and skills. Inspired by Stern MBA and veteran Natalie Ashbridge (MBA ’21) and her military experience in dealing with crises, the Leadership Accelerator team, including Professor Nathan Pettit, the initiative’s Director; Hannah Levinson, Associate Director; and Gisselle Lankenau, Program Coordinator; wrote and designed this first for Stern with Natalie.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "White also discovered that several MBA programs not historically considered to be target schools for MBB have shown incredible growth from 2018 to 2020. NYU Stern increased MBB placements by 40%."
 

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."

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."

Excerpt from Forbes-- "In addition to expansive, long-term structural change, initiatives that directly support women founders are critical and urgently needed. That’s why the NYU Stern School of Business’s Endless Frontier Labs launched an initiative to fund women-founded startups: to help us reclaim our place as foundational contributors to global prosperity."

Today, New York University Stern School of Business announced the establishment of the Fred Renwick Visiting Faculty Fellows Program, a new program aimed at expanding the inclusion of diverse perspectives at Stern. Made possible through a generous, endowed gift from an anonymous donor to NYU Stern, the program seeks to initiate and deepen research relationships, to build and grow academic and faculty networks, and to enrich students’ classroom experiences, with the perspectives of Black/African-American and other underrepresented and indigenous groups. The program is directed by Batia Wiesenfeld, the Andre J.L. Koo Professor of Management at NYU Stern.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I picked NYU Stern because I wanted to be in New York City during my MBA. Being in the city has allowed me to have an immersive recruiting process, expose myself to amazing social experiences, and see business in action. During the recruiting season, I was able to tour the offices of many major companies (pre-Covid) and discover many smaller firms that I had never heard of. I get to try new cuisines every week and engage with people from all around the world on a daily basis. In the city, I am constantly surrounded by consumer behavior, technological innovation, and evolving business models. Seeing the concepts you read about in action really helps the course material stick."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I was originally attracted to NYU Stern because I wanted to be in NYC, the learning opportunities (inside and outside of the classroom) and the strong brand name. Ultimately, I chose Stern because of the community. I interviewed during Stern Perspectives Interview Weekend and left knowing there was no other school for me. I witnessed a collegial tight-knit atmosphere not just amongst current students, but also the alumni who eagerly returned to conduct interviews. Stern’s MBA program is much smaller (my class has 350 students) in comparison to other programs, so it’s no surprise that alumni stay closely connected."
 
"Being located in NYC for business school has provided me the opportunity to network more efficiently and visit the offices of employers. NYU also does a fantastic job connecting students to businesses in NYC through a variety of experiential learning opportunities that I have taken advantage of. I even connected with my two in-semester internships through the School’s resources."

Excerpt from Financial Times-- "Nespresso turned to NYU Stern School of Business in New York to create a custom executive course, run most years since 2016, to help employees understand coffee sustainability. There have been 118 participants, from different levels of the company, and what they have learnt has already helped it improve recycling rates."
 
"Tensie Whelan, director of the Center for Sustainable Business at NYU Stern, says many executives want help navigating the 'alphabet soup' of standards used by companies to measure their sustainability efforts. The acquisition of these and other skills represents 'the next wave of good management', she suggests."

Excerpt from Executive Courses-- "NYU Stern School of Business in New York City runs the Change Leadership: Strategies for Organizational Growth in a Dynamic World program. The four-day online executive course is designed to guide leaders through the process of sparking and leading successful change while ensuring business growth. Participants learn how to diagnose the needs of their company, develop a plan for change and examine case studies that illustrate different implementation techniques."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "This year our professors come from 12 schools outside of the United States and 21 schools based in the U.S. Some six schools — Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, Northwestern Kellogg, NYU Stern, Wharton, and the Yale School of Management — placed two professors each on this year’s list. There are 15 women on this year’s list, up from a dozen last year, but still down from the record 16 two years ago. This year we received more than 2,200 nominations for nearly 150 professors. That’s right on par with last year’s numbers when just over 2,000 nominations poured in with about 160 professors to evaluate."

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "It turned out that NYU Stern was the perfect place to start such a service. We interviewed more than 20 of our friends on their experience with offline and online networking events and surveyed over 50 additional people. We then met with the Office of Career Development to hear the school’s perspective on what pain points they had holding networking events online. When we demoed our prototype, the head of the Career Office said “this is exactly what we need… No one has shared anything like this and everyone’s been looking for it.” Hearing that, we knew we were onto something."
 
"Next, we found teammates through the NYU Startup Team Hunt events held by the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute and booked free consultations with the Help Desk at Stern’s Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship. We spoke with professor Jihoon Rim, who was the CEO of Kakao and whom we had taken the Managing a High-Tech Company course from the previous semester. He helped us understand what we should be testing and where our priorities should lie."

Excerpt from Fortune-- "NYU was among the first to offer fintech as its own specialization. Other schools have followed suit."

In January NYU Stern’s Office of Student Engagement (OSE) introduced a new, intensive-style Stern Solutions experiential learning course, “Tech Solutions.” In the four-week class offered online, two-year Full-time and Langone Part-time MBAs were charged with helping to provide real-time solutions for corporate partners The Wall Street Journal & Dow Jones, and Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- “'NYU Stern is no doubt one of the best schools in the country. Having emigrated to the USA eight months before the start of my program, Stern’s international student body made it easier for me to adapt by providing broader views and a diverse learning environment. Being in the financial capital of the world made it easier for professors to bring concepts to life and there’s also the bonus of getting to live in New York City.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "Pivoting industries can be extremely difficult, and my Stern MBA was a necessary step toward my current career. I had the opportunity to learn from top professors across multiple subject areas, while also gaining first-hand industry knowledge from my classmates and potential employers. Stern also offers various hands-on projects and programs that helped me gain a better understanding of what a day in the life of a marketer really looks like."
