After graduating from our program, many students begin their careers working in one of "The Big Four" large public accounting firms — Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, and KPMG,' says Isser Gallogly, associate dean at NYU Stern, referring to the school’s one-year MS in Accounting course."

Excerpt from BEME News -- "Paul Barrett, deputy director of NYU Stern's Center for Business and Human Rights, told me that YouTube's preference for increasingly extreme content is a feature of the system, not a bug. He told me YouTube is in the advertising business, so they have a financial incentive to keep users engaged."

Excerpt from MetroMBA -- "NYU Stern’s Executive Education division will host consulting firm SRW & Co for The Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (ASEAN) Global Leadership Program from April 13 – 17, 2020."

Excerpt from The Economist -- "Today’s hot spot is Ethiopia, which has attracted investment by Calvin Klein and H&M. With labour costs of just $26 a month, it might seem a dream destination for the frugal clothier. But a report released in May by the NYU Stern Centre for Business and Human Rights argues that these wages are too low to meet workers’ basic needs, which is fuelling unrest."

Excerpt from Market Screener -- "If you find the notifications are disruptive, distracting or are causing information overload, you can always turn them off in the app's Preferences settings. But a 2019 research study by NYU Stern School of Business (about how app users manage their personal finances when sent overspending messages), has shown that these technological nudges lead to a decline in spending."

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.'”

Excerpt from Ethical Consumer -- "A recent publication by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights reports how increasing wages in countries like China and India has seen manufacturers move operations to the East African country. These manufacturers supply brands such as H&M and Gap."

Excerpt from Food Industry Executive -- "Sustainably-marketed products accounted for 50% of consumer packaged goods (CPG) growth from 2013 to 2018, according to NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business."

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 Axios -- "Alain Bertaud, author of 'Order without Design' and a professor at New York University, tells Axios that the term 'smart cities' began mostly as a slogan. But over time, its definition has been fungible."

Excerpt from MetroMBA -- “'Healthcare is an incredibly important part of the U.S. and global economy, and even more central to New York City given the hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers within the broader region. As a result and in line with Stern’s continued push to diversify the opportunity set for our students, this became a priority to make our ambitious goals in the healthcare space something visible and public.'”

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "New Age Meats is not a conventional MBA recruiter. The San Francisco food start-up, which is developing a technique to grow meat from animal cells, has yet to close its first funding round and has just four people on the payroll. But its first hire was MBA student John Pattison, a former management consultant and US army officer, who joined fresh from his graduation ceremony from NYU’s Stern School of Business in May."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'The executive MBA program at NYU Stern offered everything I was looking for in my business training. It is ranked as one of the top EMBA programs in the country, is located close to my place of work, and has a great and diverse curriculum that provides both strong foundational classes as well as a wide array of elective classes that offers numerous specialization areas. I was particularly interested in specialized classes in leadership and strategy. In addition, several classes in healthcare business and economics were particularly relevant to my career development.'"

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.’”

Excerpt from MetroMBA -- "Located in New York City, the financial capital of the world, NYU Stern offers an excellent MBA program for a career in finance. The curriculum spans everything from microfinance to global banking, sales and trading, public finance, and M&A. And in 2018, 33.8 percent of the graduating MBA class went into financial services—more than any other industry."

Excerpt from NBC News -- "Barrett said it was promising that Sandberg, Facebook's No. 2 executive, was paying attention and had set up a new team, but he said it was unrealistic for the team and to bear the world's problems, even with lots of outside advice. 'A large, international bank is not going to rely on local NGOs to help it run its global operations. It’s going to have people all around the world who are part of the organization,' Barrett said."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "The healthcare sector represents about one fifth of the US economy, with New York City serving as a key epicenter with its numerous hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and laboratories. Unsurprisingly, all sectors of the healthcare space have demand for the kind of business acumen that NYU Stern is famous for cultivating."

Today, NYU Stern announced its 2019-2020 application deadlines and essays for its two-year Full-time MBA, Langone Part-time MBA, and two focused MBA programs (Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA and Fashion & Luxury MBA). Of note, Stern’s two required EQ Endorsements and the popular “Pick Six” visual personal expression essay both remain. Stern is also launching a new MBA specialization in Healthcare.
