Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "I was definitely attracted to the network at NYU Stern, which is particularly strong in New York City (where I wanted to end up).

Excerpt from 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,' JP Eggers, Stern’s vice dean of MBA and graduate programs, told P&Q at the program’s launch."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Even as gender parity continues to be an elusive goal for the majority of MBA programs, here, now, is an MBA that has enrolled more women than men – and in tech no less.

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Stern made the transition easier than I could have imagined through the Fertitta Veterans Program, named for alumnus Lorenzo Fertitta (MBA ’93) and his brother Frank J. Fertitta III thanks to their transformative gift to Stern. This Program allows first-year Veterans to start in July, where they take core classes while receiving tailored career coaching and early networking opportunities with target firms from various industries. This early start allowed me to feel confident and well prepared when the rest of my class arrived on campus for LAUNCH (Stern’s full-time MBA orientation), and consulting recruiting which kicked off a few weeks later. Reflecting on my transition, Stern is the best decision I could have made, not only because it has allowed me to achieve my career goals, but also because I know that when I graduate in May 2023, I will do so with a group of lifelong friends."

We’re talking to companies that are a 15-minute subway ride away."

She did just that, writing a detailed curriculum for a seven-week course from scratch called Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Career You Want and Need. “Our New York City location affords us many extraordinary advantages, not least our unparalleled access to so many top business and thought leaders who bring their real-world experiences directly into our classrooms,” says Sundaram. “Suzy is a superb case in point. When she and I first spoke, she described her thoughts to me of teaching a course centered around self-awareness, authenticity and the central question about one’s true life purpose, I jumped at it. It was an exciting idea. She said she wished she had had such a course when she was doing her MBA; I wish I had too.”

Our world-renowned faculty prepare top students to be leaders in the industry, who then graduate to become alumni who remain highly engaged with the school and active in hiring our MBAs,' Associate Dean of Career Services Brian Ruggiero tells Fortune. 'In more recent years, Stern has meticulously built a similar reputation in consulting, with graduates bringing high [emotional intelligence] to these firms.'"
