Experience Stern | News & Events

Meet Alexia Victor (MBA ‘22), Langone Part-time MBA

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'A big part of our applications, especially for graduate programs and especially the full-time MBA and master’s programs, are international students: 40% of our applications and about 25% to 30% of our class,' says Sundaram. International students made up 32% of the Stern School’s MBA students in the fall 2021 cohort, up from the previous two intakes."

Students in the inaugural cohorts of the new one-year master’s programs offered jointly by NYU Shanghai and NYU Stern — the MS in Marketing and Retail Science & MS in Organization Management and Strategy programs — attended orientation in person in New York and virtually from Shanghai on June 1 and subsequently started their summer classes with NYU Stern professors. 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "If studying business analytics in the world’s largest city is what piques your interest, you’ll love the New York University Stern School of Business (NYU Stern). NYU Stern is both a top rated business school and one of the world’s leading research institutions. It’s ranked second in the world for its research productivity, according to the University of Texas’s Research Contribution 2017-2021."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Learning about business in the global center of commerce seemed like a total no brainer to me. The number of spontaneous opportunities that come from being in New York City astounded me. From part-time professors who double as executives at Fortune 500 companies, to the wealth of in-semester internships simply by proximity, and to guest lecturers who are inevitably in NYC on a regular basis, I can’t imagine a better place to get a deep experiential business education than in the heart of Manhattan."

Excerpt from Executive Courses -- "NYU Stern School of Business runs a course called Inclusive Leadership: Addressing Unconscious Bias to Build Stronger, Diverse Teams, which emphasizes the advancement of women and people of color. Participants develop an inclusive leadership mindset, with a focus on working with others across various dimensions of diversity — including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability and age."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “The interest is very strong,” says Isser Gallogly, associate dean of MBA admissions and program innovation, at NYU Stern. “Over 25% of all the part-time applicants wanted it as their first choice option. This is the first intake but we have more women applying to it than men. About 51% of our applicants are women.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Tell us about an “only at McKinsey” moment you’ve had so far. I feel like these happen all the time. I am consistently surprised at the background of many of the people that I work with.  I regularly encounter people who have really impressive backgrounds – former professional athletes, professional musicians, and more."

Excerpt from Busines of Fashion -- “The two areas to highlight are sustainability and DEI initiatives because these are drivers that determine which companies a candidate is going to choose. [Still] I think it would be naive to expect companies to have made all these changes — they are tremendous and require real structural shifts with new people in the leadership roles.”

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "NYU Stern’s location in the heart of the business capital of the world, New York, was the biggest reason I decided to attend NYU Stern. While many other institutions could provide a great network of people and education, I thought that Stern would allow me to truly immerse myself in the dynamic and always-moving business scene of a global city. I was also very impressed with Stern’s emphasis on leading change, which resonated with my entrepreneurial passion."

Excerpt from Town & Country -- “We have found that because our students come in as senior executives with significant work experience (an average of 14 years), and they submit transcripts from undergraduate and graduate programs, along with any certifications they might have earned, we already have enough data points to measure academic preparedness for the program without a standardized test score,” Neha Singhal, assistant dean for executive degree programs, admissions, and marketing at NYU Stern, said in a statement. “In fact, we have found that the data points based on work experience and academic performance are a better indicator of a student's success in the program versus a standardized test score.”

Excerpt from mbaMission -- "One [professor] that comes immediately to mind is Tensie Whelan, who is not only a faculty member but also the head of our Center for Sustainable Business. And what's really interesting is that they've recently launched a career development program, specifically for women looking to go into sustainable finance. And giving them two years of support in navigating that landscape, which is pretty unique and exciting. It's called Empower."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? The experiences that the students bring to the classroom from their prior careers provide great opportunities for me to learn, and for the material to 'come to life.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? Several things: (1) Sharing reality with students in a variety of ways; (2) the back-and-forth banter that makes class extra fun; (3) getting to know my students on a one-on-one basis, satiating my natural curiosity about individual backgrounds; (4) being around passionate, well-rounded people who have varied interests and want their work to have meaning – qualities that I like to think I share, deeply."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? I learn so much from my students every time I teach. Our MBA students are exceptionally connected to the cutting edge of what is going on in business and society. And so a lot of the ideas and examples they bring into the classroom are a year or two ahead of what is being talked about in the media. They also don’t always neatly fit the frameworks we study in strategy, which makes for a fun and interesting conversations in class."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "In Stern’s Leadership for the 21st Century course, Fraser teaches a module on developing intercultural competence — the ability to collaborate effectively with people of different cultural backgrounds. The key is understanding, through an open dialogue, people’s various dimensions of difference in order to connect and relate to them on a human level, he says."

NYU Stern alumna Elizabeth Elting (MBA ’92) has donated $2 million to EFL to provide investment funding for promising women-centric businesses that have successfully completed the program.

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "'We designed the program for two types of students,' says Kathleen DeRose, academic director of the MSFT. 'Professionals in the finance industry eager to understand the challenges of digital transformation, and professionals in the technology industry ready to improve their knowledge of financial services.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I knew there would be great opportunities, but NYU Stern opened doors to a new career that I didn’t even know existed – I never thought I would intern at a cannabis edibles technology start-up and also at a cannabis SPAC within a few months of being in b-school (both internships were found via NYU Stern network)!"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU Stern’s greatest differentiating factor has always been the community. When I visited prospective MBA programs, I was extremely sensitive to whether or not I felt like I “fit in.” Every single Sternie who was kind enough to make time to chat with me – which, to be clear, was everyone I contacted – immediately struck me as someone I would love to have in my class, on my team in the office, or even just join me for a drink. The conversations were effortless, and I found myself genuinely having a good time getting to know these folks. When I combined the quality of my cultural fit with the benefit of a smaller class size compared to other programs I was considering, it just felt right. I was confident that I would leave my MBA experience at Stern with an incredible, active network of lifelong friends."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "New York Stern’s finance specialization has a keen focus on bankruptcy, equity markets, futures and option, volatility, valuation, and behavioural finance. MBA students gain an understanding of asset management, and corporate finance that makes them far more employable in the finance sector."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "New York University’s Stern School of Business launched its hybrid MBA program in November 2021. It’s a program that is flexible in nature—allowing students to complete the core MBA curriculum online and elective courses in person."

Meet Eden Ben-Oz (MBA ‘22), Andre Koo Tech MBA.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "NYU Stern is once again the top school for overall salary plus bonus."

Excerpt from Government Technology -- "NYU’s own set of blockchain-related courses include cryptography, distributed systems and networking. The university’s Stern School of Business also offers a master’s program in fintech."
