In a trend story highlighting top Executive MBA programs in the New York Metro Area, Professor and Vice Dean of Executive Programs Robert Salomon underscores Stern's focus on developing a cohort of students with high-quality management experience.

Poets and Quants logo
Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Another key variable in evaluating the quality of the program is the years of experience students bring to bear. Rob Salomon, vice dean of NYU Stern’s executive programs, maintains that Stern’s EMBA options in both New York and Washington, D.C., are 'executive first, MBA second. Some of these programs tend to be more part-time programs with students that have fewer years of management experience.' In NYU Stern’s Executive MBA program in New York, students average 14 years of work experience. 'They are on the cusp between vice president and senior vice president levels or they have founded their own companies and are looking to accelerate the growth of their firms,' adds Solomon. 'Sometimes EMBA programs are just a euphemism for part-time MBA programs.'”

In a co-authored op-ed, Research Scholar Brandon Fuller explains California's housing-affordability crisis and the state's recent shelving of Senate Bill 50

City Journal logo
Excerpt from City Journal -- "In the end, SB 50 is no more dead than its predecessor bill, SB 827, which similarly sought to permit multifamily housing near transit lines. Neither the coalition built by the bill’s sponsor, State Senator Scott Weiner, nor the crisis that it aims to address are going away. But if housing reformers are serious about addressing the root causes of the home-voter impulse, they’ll need to plan for contingencies."

Excerpt from NPR -- "’Right now I work at a publication that is tailored to professional engineers in all different kinds of fields but that doesn't mean that they're experts necessarily in the field we're writing about. So in a lot of ways, it's also similar to writing for a broader audience, in which you need to define your terms, you need to remove jargon and you need to try to translate these developments in technology and engineering for people who are outside of that specialized field.’”
