Poets and Quants logo
Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "My most significant takeaways from the NYU Stern Executive MBA program were uncovering the diverse range of challenges that business organizations face, developing strategies and structures for hyper-competitive organizations, and understanding the greater complexity of shaping corporate culture. Furthermore, the versatility of the program’s specializations allowed me the opportunity to pursue subject areas I have not worked in before. As a result, I now have the option to pursue opportunities to pivot to new industries or job functions that seemed out of my scope prior to the program."

Poets and Quants logo
Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I picked NYU Stern because I wanted to be in New York City during my MBA. Being in the city has allowed me to have an immersive recruiting process, expose myself to amazing social experiences, and see business in action. During the recruiting season, I was able to tour the offices of many major companies (pre-Covid) and discover many smaller firms that I had never heard of. I get to try new cuisines every week and engage with people from all around the world on a daily basis. In the city, I am constantly surrounded by consumer behavior, technological innovation, and evolving business models. Seeing the concepts you read about in action really helps the course material stick."

Full-time MBA student Melanie Gonzalez (MBA '21) in-depth Q&A interview: "2021 Best & Brightest MBAs: Melanie Gonzalez, New York University (Stern)."

Poets and Quants logo
Excerpt from Poets & Quants-- "I was originally attracted to NYU Stern because I wanted to be in NYC, the learning opportunities (inside and outside of the classroom) and the strong brand name. Ultimately, I chose Stern because of the community. I interviewed during Stern Perspectives Interview Weekend and left knowing there was no other school for me. I witnessed a collegial tight-knit atmosphere not just amongst current students, but also the alumni who eagerly returned to conduct interviews. Stern’s MBA program is much smaller (my class has 350 students) in comparison to other programs, so it’s no surprise that alumni stay closely connected."
 
"Being located in NYC for business school has provided me the opportunity to network more efficiently and visit the offices of employers. NYU also does a fantastic job connecting students to businesses in NYC through a variety of experiential learning opportunities that I have taken advantage of. I even connected with my two in-semester internships through the School’s resources."

There are 15 women on this year’s list, up from a dozen last year, but still down from the record 16 two years ago. This year we received more than 2,200 nominations for nearly 150 professors. That’s right on par with last year’s numbers when just over 2,000 nominations poured in with about 160 professors to evaluate."

Kidae Hong (MBA '21) and Claire Park (MBA '21) are featured, highlighting how Stern helped support the launch of their online networking platform, Circle: "Fridays from the Frontline: How Covid Led Us to Build an Online Networking Platform for MBAs."

Clear Admit logo
Excerpt from Clear Admit-- "It turned out that NYU Stern was the perfect place to start such a service. We interviewed more than 20 of our friends on their experience with offline and online networking events and surveyed over 50 additional people. We then met with the Office of Career Development to hear the school’s perspective on what pain points they had holding networking events online. When we demoed our prototype, the head of the Career Office said “this is exactly what we need… No one has shared anything like this and everyone’s been looking for it.” Hearing that, we knew we were onto something."
 
"Next, we found teammates through the NYU Startup Team Hunt events held by the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute and booked free consultations with the Help Desk at Stern’s Berkley Center for Entrepreneurship. We spoke with professor Jihoon Rim, who was the CEO of Kakao and whom we had taken the Managing a High-Tech Company course from the previous semester. He helped us understand what we should be testing and where our priorities should lie."
