Residential Immersions

The program begins with the first Residential Immersion over a long weekend on Stern’s campus, in the heart of downtown Manhattan. The Residency gives students the opportunity to network, build friendships, and connect with faculty right from the beginning, while completing half of their first course. A year later, the students return to campus for their second residency, which is another intense combination of learning, networking, and fun. Learn more about Residential Immersions here.

Online Course Structure

The curriculum is highly structured—it is 20 months long and focuses on just one course at a time in a prescribed sequence, keeping you on track and on pace. The program itself is delivered online, mostly with content that can be completed independently, making it very convenient for working professionals. You can do the work on your time and around your schedule. Each online course spans three weeks and includes two lessons each week. The courses taken after the Residential Immersion are online and have specific deliverable due dates a couple of times each week. The content is a blend of short videos, problem walk-throughs, readings, interactive modules, self-assessments, and other learning experiences. Assignments are mostly individual, though some courses have team exercises and group projects.

Focused Courses with a Personal Touch

Each week there are timezone-friendly live Online Meetups which give students the opportunity to interact with their professor and classmates to review, discuss, and ask questions. These weekly 60- to 90-minute live online meetups are optional but highly encouraged. Students can expect a faculty member, teaching fellow, or staff member to reply to their questions within 24 hours on a regular school weekday.
