NYU Stern Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA students spent their first semester engaging with top NYC firms
In May 2018, NYU Stern welcomed its inaugural class of Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA students to campus to begin their focused one-year MBA program. During the first semester this summer, students not only took courses in both the required Business and Technology cores, but also stepped out into New York City for immersion trips to Silicon Alley companies every Friday. The students met with leaders at companies including Deloitte Digital, General Catalyst, Goldman Sachs, Google, Grand Central Tech, Oscar Health, and T. Rowe Price, to gain insights from executives leading the conversations in their industries.
The summer curriculum also included a Stern Solutions experiential learning project with Citi Ventures. Through Stern Solutions projects, MBA students work with faculty and alongside corporate partners to tackle actual business challenges in real time. Over the past three years, the number of MBAs overall participating in Stern Solutions projects has increased by more than 160 percent.
Throughout the summer students also engaged in workshops focused on topics facing the tech sector today, such as Design Thinking, Storytelling with Data, and User Experience and participated in panel discussions, including Ethical Challenges Facing the Tech Sector.
