Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Noodle -- "NYU's MBA with a sustainable business and innovation specialization aims to equip students with an understanding of key sustainability challenges and opportunities for modern business. The program focuses on current and emerging business practices. It operates in both a full- and part-time, on-campus format with the option to take up to 25 percent of courses at other NYU graduate schools or international partner institutions. Experiential learning and co-curricular opportunities include Stern Signature Projects (SSPs), case competitions such as the NYU Stern Opportunity Zone Challenge and the annual Patagonia Case Competition, and research fellow placement at the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business (CSB)."

Excerpt from Aspen Institute -- “I believe that a variant of ‘Amara’s Law’ will apply as we emerge from the pandemic: changes in the short-term will be overestimated, and the impacts in the longer-term will be underestimated. In moving most or all classroom engagement online, we have learned what works well. Previous resistance to technology has lessened for both faculty and students. Perhaps the greatest impact will be in the increasingly different modes we use to engage full-time students versus part-time and executive students who are working professionals. Since time is in particularly short supply for the latter, we will increasingly leverage technology to foster and sustain engagement and to create even greater flexibility for them. So too will we embrace technology in new ways to catalyze alumni engagement and lifelong learning for our alumni global communities.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “Start With Small Steps: ‘Don’t think about entering an MBA program. Think about what you want out of a program, which programs fit your goals, and then outline the individual steps you need to consider to make a decision and just focus on each one at a time. I ultimately realized that I’d been my own barrier to success when I looked at it as “getting an MBA” instead of “What will an MBA give back to me and what will I give back to my MBA classmates?’” Natasha Rankin, New York University (Stern)”

Excerpt from FindMBA -- "NYU Stern professor Anindya Ghose, in New York, says the key technical skills required are data modeling, data visualization and predictive modeling. Students acquire these skills from coursework such as statistical modeling, data engineering, programming, econometric modeling and from machine learning experiments.

However, soft skills such as communication are also crucial. 'The key soft skills required are the ability to tell a story from mining the data and the ability to lead a team with eclectic individuals from disparate work experiences,' Ghose says."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "This year’s list features professors from 33 of the world’s best undergraduate business programs.

New York University’s Stern School of Business had the highest representation of professors, landing five professors on this year’s list."

Meet incoming student Jane DaCosta, Executive MBA - New York ‘22, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Equestrian Team and US Navy Veteran. 
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “‘Location and the Fertitta Veterans Program made Stern my target,’ Johnny shared with me,  ‘but Stern’s top-tier reputation, international opportunities, focus on EQ+IQ and positive interactions with Sternies throughout the admissions process only reinforced my desire to be part of this community.’”
“For Dan, the Military Veterans Club (MVC) has provided community within Stern from the very beginning. ‘The day before my Stern interview, an MBA student from the club reached out to offer support,’ he told me. Now, it is his turn. As co-presidents, Dan and Johnny have focused on strengthening networking opportunities through club activities. At the same time, they have connected MVC to the executive MBA and part-time programs at Stern to widen the actual network and increased the pipeline by partnering directly with admissions to find the best candidates.”

Excerpt from Clear Admit-- “‘My first exposure to life at Stern was through the school’s Fertitta Veterans Program. The program is designed for US military veterans and active duty students to support their transition to business school. Through the program, all of the veterans take two classes together (accounting and statistics) during the summer before the first year of the MBA program. During the program, we also had the opportunity to visit the offices of companies such as JP Morgan, Boston Consulting Group, and Google. Students who are accepted into the program are eligible to receive the Fertitta Veterans Scholarship. I’m incredibly grateful to alumnus Lorenzo (MBA ’93) and his brother Frank J. Fertitta III for their generous gift which established the program, and their recognition of the value veterans bring to the workforce.’”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “'When the pandemic hit in early spring, the Office of Career Development quickly adapted and went into overdrive to add even more support for students that contributed to strong employment outcomes that exceeded what we saw during the 2008 recession,” Briggs says. “We are extremely proud that 88.8% of graduates accepted jobs within three months of graduation. We are continuing to support students in their job searches with several more continuing to accept jobs past the three-month mark at pace with the just-in-time hiring picking up in the market now, pushing us past 90% at this moment in time.
'The Class of 2020 is incredibly special to us and has displayed a level of resilience and persistence in a year like no other. We are so proud of all that they have accomplished.'”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- “In his research report, ‘Regulating Social Media: The Fight Over Section 230—and Beyond’, Paul says that Section 230 should be preserved and improved upon, pushing platforms to accept greater responsibility.
He also floats the idea of creating a Digital Regulatory Agency. 
‘There’s a crisis of trust in the major platforms’ ability and willingness to superintend their sites. Creation of a new independent digital oversight authority should be part of the response,’ he explains in the report.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'In these unprecedented times, we are especially grateful for Stern’s deep partnerships across industries, fueled by long-standing relationships and a robust alumni community,' Briggs says in a news release announcing the new jobs report. 'These relationships together with the talent and tenacity of our students have resulted in continued strong employment outcomes for our two-year full-time MBAs, including high-quality roles in a range of industries despite the rapidly shifting business landscape during the past several months.'”

Thirty-two percent of the new class identify as minorities and 12 percent as underrepresented minorities. The average age of the group is 28, with ages spanning 22 to 40."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "The NYU Stern class of 2022 has broken GPA and GMAT records this year. With applications up by 4%, the school is growing as an attractive option for intelligently sharp, professionally diverse MBA candidates.
The program, with its diverse mix of undergrad majors, means that it's an option for students from both traditional and 'non-traditional' backgrounds. It's the program for you whether you're a consultant with a few years experience, working in finance, or embedded in the arts or nonprofit sectors. Nearly a third of the class are from minority backgrounds and nearly a third are international."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- “The entrepreneurial network and infrastructure at NYU Stern has also been a huge boost for the company. We were accepted into the flagship accelerator at NYU Stern, The $300K Entrepreneurs Challenge, which we deferred to participate in to 2021 because of COVID. We were also selected in the Stern Venture Fellowship (SVF) for the summer of 2020. The SVF gives us access to $15,000 in grants to attempt new initiatives and a tremendous amount of exposure. More importantly, the program pairs us with a dream team of coaches who are industry leaders and provides us a structure over 12 weeks that keeps us focused on achieving our milestones while giving us the flexibility to be creative.”

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "’We are creating the premier ecosystem of entrepreneurship education and programs here on the east coast, in the heart of New York City, that fuels the demand for highly inspired ideas with equally high potential for impact,’ says Rangarajan. ‘I am excited by the strides Endless Frontier Labs is making in taking us closer to this vision.
‘We are in one of the world’s greatest technology and entrepreneurship hubs, and we want to bring that to the school. It’s a work in progress, but because of our location we can dive deeply into businesses on many levels, allowing students to engage with them as part of their MBA.’"
