Program Selection
NYU Stern MBA applicants must select a program of interest.

Your selection is very important, as you may apply to only one program.

• Full-time MBA Program
• Fashion & Luxury MBA Program
• Tech MBA Program

If you meet the following requirements, you are eligible to apply:

• Undergraduate Degree: Students entering a Stern MBA program are required to hold a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in the U.S. or an equivalent degree from a foreign country (in some cases, this is a three-year degree).
• Mastery of English: Please review the standardized test section to determine if you are required to take the TOEFL, IELTS, or DET exam.

Selection Criteria

We seek students who best exemplify Stern's core value: IQ+EQ. Our admissions committee takes care to select those who demonstrate strong intellectual ability, superior interpersonal skills, and a desire to create value for business and society. 

Stern evaluates each candidate holistically across three dimensions:

• Academic Profile
• Professional Achievements & Aspirations
