Part-time MBA

Part-time MBA programs are geared toward working professionals who want to earn their Master of Business Administration without putting their career on hold. Unlike full-time MBA programs, which typically require students to leave the workforce, PT MBA programs allow students to work while earning their degrees. NYU Stern's PT MBA program offers the same world-class education as the Full-time MBA.

Deciding whether or not an MBA is the right choice for you depends on your goals and personal circumstances. For those wanting to continue to progress in their career, expand their network, and have access to the latest industry knowledge for lifelong learning, Stern's PT MBA is a worthwhile investment. Our graduates see an average salary increase of 56% after completing the program.

We offer free MBA elective courses to our alumni for life, allowing them to stay up-to-date on the latest business knowledge. Stern alumni are also eligible for two tuition-free Executive Education courses per academic year and a 50% discount on any additional Executive Education courses. In addition, we also offer career services for life, including career coaching, professional development events, job postings, networking opportunities, and more.

Please visit the NYU Stern Return on Investment page to learn more about the statistics, calculations, and assumptions.

Our program is flexible, allowing students to design their schedules and complete the program in 2-6 years depending on the program option selected. The program is 60 credits total. Students typically take 18-22 credits per year and finish the program in just over three years.
