Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "New York has been the perfect place to explore potential future careers as I transitioned from a non-traditional background in the military and education. If I wanted to explore the world of finance, Stern’s MBA and undergraduate program have a robust alumni network already established. Consulting? Most of the top firms are headquartered here, which may explain why consulting is one of the three largest employers of Stern grads in the 2021 Employment Report."

Excerpt from Fortune-- “'Not only do we want students in the classroom who are able to handle the academic rigor of the program for the IQ piece, but also folks who have the skills that we’re hearing time and time again from recruiters on the career side that they need in their companies and organizations,' says Lisa Rios, NYU Stern’s assistant dean of MBA admissions."

Excerpt from Executive Courses-- “‘I see this as the opposite of cuddly; in the last few years, corporate leaders have come to understand that focusing on profits to the detriment of other stakeholders has led to negative impacts on shareholders in terms of increased operational, reputational and regulatory risk,’ says Tensie Whelan, director of the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business.”

Excerpt from Find MBA-- "Lisa Rios, Stern’s assistant dean of MBA admissions, puts the gains down to the combination of a more seamless process for applicants and strong demand for MBA places. 'For the 2020-2021 admissions cycle, NYU Stern continued to adopt an applicant-centric approach, including adding three new standardized test options — LSAT, MCAT and DAT — to the existing GMAT, GRE and Executive Assessment,' she says."

Excerpt from Fortune-- "Stern is now the only top 10 B-school (as deemed by Fortune) to offer a hybrid MBA program." 
 
“'Our approach has been to be first and fast to market, in sync with the rapid pace of change of business,' JP Eggers, Stern’s vice dean of MBA and graduate programs, tells Fortune. 'The new online/modular option offers even more flexibility for working professionals, which is more essential than ever given the trends we’re seeing on the future of work.'”

Excerpt from Fortune-- "For example, New York University’s Stern School of Business saw 96% of its 2021 full-time MBA graduates receive a job offer within three months of graduation."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- “'We live in a world in which the norms and needs of organizations and the professionals who work for them continue to evolve, often with great speed,' says Raghu Sundaram, Stern’s dean. 'We recognize that one size does not fit all and hope to be giving students more innovative ways to customize their MBA experience.'”
 
“'We specifically designed this option to combine the added convenience and flexibility of some online courses with the ability to easily access NYC for in-person courses,' Eggers tells Poets&Quants. 'We have intentionally set up the option to be a hybrid of online and in-person because we believe that coming to New York City and taking some of the classes on campus is an integral component of the NYU Stern MBA experience.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "Once I learned about the Fertitta Veterans Program, I became fully invested in earning admission to Stern. The Fertitta Veterans Program was created thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Lorenzo Fertitta (MBA ’93) and brother Frank J. Fertitta III and designed to support the transition to business school of US military vets and active duty students. Stern’s commitment to advancing the Veteran community crystallized my realization that Stern was the school for me."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "The class that has been the most valuable in building this startup for me would be “Getting to Launch: The Lean Startup“ with Professor Cynthia Franklin. This class took me through the ways in which to launch a startup and how to continuously be iterating to create a product that could quickly find product market fit. This class highlighted the need to move fast and put your product out instead of focusing on perfection over the timing. That lesson was invaluable for me in my startup journey."
