Excerpt from BusinessBecause —  "NYU Stern takes a unique approach with its 'Pick Six' essay. Applicants are asked to choose six images, each representing an aspect of their life, experiences, or goals."

In August, NYU Stern’s Online MS in Quantitative Management (MSQM) Program welcomed its newest students, marking the program’s fifth cohort. Stern’s online MSQM has been synonymous with innovation from the start; at launch, Stern was the first and only top-ranked US business school to establish a master’s in management online.

Excerpt from Livid Magazine -- "New York University Stern, renowned for its exceptional alumni and top-tier business programs, consistently sets the standard for excellence. The marketing department, in particular, stands out as one of the nation’s finest, offering courses that not only cultivate theoretical concepts but also provide a platform to apply them in the real world. With an eye on innovation, the upperclassmen at NYU Stern have set their sights on ushering fresh talent into the ever-evolving fashion industry, which constantly hungers for the next big thing."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "While EQ+IQ defines the Stern philosophy, scale reflects its day-to-day. The school is home to over 5,800 business students, half of whom are pursuing graduate degrees. The school also employs 470 professors among its tenure, tenure-track, clinical, visiting and adjunct faculty. With its New York City digs, the school can attract top industry executives and functional experts as speakers and adjuncts. That doesn’t count renowned faculty members like Scott Galloway, Aswath Damodaran, and Glenn Okun. At the same time, students can choose from 200 electives and complete three specializations. In fact, Stern offers 27 specializations including Entertainment and Media, FinTech, Luxury Marketing, Real Estate, and Tech Product Marketing. And students can take a quarter of their classes outside the business school too. When they graduate, Stern MBAs will join an alumni base that includes 111,000 members across 144 countries."

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "Earlier this year, NYU Stern School of Business in New York partnered with NYU Abu Dhabi to launch a one-year, full-time MBA program based in both Abu Dhabi and New York."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “Stern’s 20-month, 22-course MSQM stands alone — and its latest intake of students stands apart in many ways, says Kim Corfman, vice dean of learning innovation and MSQM academic director.

‘Stern’s MSQM curriculum is carefully crafted to incorporate leading-edge topics to give students the tools necessary to navigate and lead in today’s data-driven business landscape,” Corfman tells Poets&Quants. ‘We look for students with a natural curiosity and passion for these highly relevant emerging areas of study.’”
 

Excerpt from MiM Guide -- “‘In the decade since launch, we’ve constantly updated our curriculum to ensure the most current topics are covered, so students can meet today’s rapidly evolving needs,’ says Anindya Ghose, academic director of NYU Stern’s MSBA Program. ‘Our curriculum now covers topics like artificial intelligence, generative AI systems, deep learning, Web 3.0 and more. Students learn how to leverage these emerging technologies to drive data-driven business decisions.’”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause —  “Unique to NYU Stern is the visual ‘Pick Six’ essay, which asks candidates to share six i mages that describe themselves and their experiences. Candidates are also invited to share corresponding captions and a brief overview of their selection.

Lindsay Loyd, executive director, MBA admissions, NYU Stern School of Business, says: ‘The ‘Pick Six’ is intended to give us insight beyond what we already learned from the other parts of the application.’”

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "As Covid restrictions have eased, this has allowed for freer global movement, but some business schools have adapted their strategies. The Trium Global EMBA — jointly delivered by HEC Paris, New York University’s Stern School of Business and the London School of Economics — has yet to reinstate its China module, which was suspended during the pandemic.

'We believe there will be less business with China in the years to come, and therefore we decided to explore other interesting locations,” says Laurence Lehmann-Ortega, HEC’s academic director for the Trium programme. The school has introduced Singapore as an alternative location for this year and next, and South Korea from 2025 onwards.'"
 

On Tuesday, October 11, NYU Stern's Business and Society Program hosted the Haitkin Lecture with guest Brad Smith, vice chair and president, Microsoft. The discussion was moderated by Michael Posner, director, NYU Stern Center for Business & Human Rights.

Dear Members of the Stern Community,

Words cannot do justice to the horrifying news and images to which many of us woke up on Saturday, of a brutal attack on Israeli civilians within its borders that left hundreds—including young children—dead, families dismembered, and many others kidnapped and whose whereabouts are unknown, acts of unbridled terrorism that deserve the strongest possible condemnation. Nor is it possible to rationalize and come to terms with the suffering that is now encompassing the entire region as war rages on, cutting short and maiming thousands more of Israeli and Palestinian lives. The violence shows no signs of abating.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “My favorite professor is Brian Hanssen, who taught my Organizational Communications class, which is the second course in our four-course Social Impact core."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "New York University’s Stern School of Business MBA Class of 2025 profile nearly mirrors the record-breaking Class of 2024. The new class earned an average GMAT score of 732, just shy of last year’s record of 733. They also showed their academic strengths with an average undergraduate GPA of 3.61–again, nearly identical to last year’s 3.62. Stern also maintained the diversity of the newest MBA class, as percentages of women, international students and U.S. minorities remained virtually unchanged compared to last year."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “Professor Michael North for Leadership in Organizations. I left his classes more energized than when I came in. His facilitation of the class discussion was impeccable, and he would blend concepts with discussions around and opinions about the case at hand. Plus, he’s the most accessible professor I’ve met. Outside of class, I would write long emails to him about my thoughts on the class or a discussion during class and he would take the time to respond to each one I wrote. For context, some email chains lasted for weeks and months after the class was over. I think that level of openness, eloquence and humility make him an incredibly impactful educator. Oh, and his slides were the coolest I’ve ever seen!” 

Excerpt from BusinessBecause —  "The entering MBA class of 2025 is academically impressive. There are students with a range of undergraduate majors from engineering, math, and science, to social science, economics, and the humanities. The class also has an average GMAT score of 732, one of the highest in NYU Stern's history, and consistent with the last cohort's average score of 733."
