Experience Stern | News & Events

NYU Stern announced its 2018-19 application deadlines and essays for its Full-time MBA, two focused MBAs (Andre Koo Tech MBA and Fashion & Luxury MBA) and Langone Part-time MBA programs.

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "A series of coincidences indeed, but Nacson credits his B-school experience for awakening his entrepreneurial spirit. 'The cohort that I belonged to was very much composed of entrepreneurs and people who had gone through the entrepreneurship experience in different fields. That brought my attention to the excitement and interest already embedded in me,' he says."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "The dual focuses of a traditional MBA and the more technical study attracted me because it’s the perfect combination that builds on the foundation I previously established with my undergrad degrees in finance and business analytics. From the beginning I’ve had an interest in both the business and technology side, so the Tech MBA at Stern is the perfect fit in allowing me to increase my depth of knowledge on both areas simultaneously."

Excerpt from TheStreet.com -- "As the market power of companies such as Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) , Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Facebook Inc. (FB) increases, their acquisitions of smaller companies may start to raise red flags for antitrust regulators. A panel of economists and lawyers examined the link between mergers, antitrust reviews and innovation at an NYU Stern School of Business antitrust conference last Friday."

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "In terms of the program itself, we started off focusing on the entertainment industry, and in the late 90s, the entertainment industry was pretty much siloed. Movie studios were movie studios, and TV networks were TV networks. But that has changed considerably, so there’s this huge move toward convergence, and what television is today is really quite different from what it was in the year 2000."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "According to Beth, there's a significant overlap between the Stern's much-touted finance strengths and the roles ultimately filled in the tech market. 'Students are able to find the right kind of functional role within the tech industry because there's enough space in the tech industry for students to be able to not only find the company but also the role that's the right fit for them,' she remarks."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "The TRIUM Global Executive MBA program—ranked among the top five EMBA programs in the world by the Financial Times in 2017—is also leading the charge, developing the next generation of female business leaders. The joint program between London School Economics (LSE), NYU Stern, and HEC Paris takes students to London, California, Paris, New York, and Shanghai."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "I love a lot of things about Stern, but I would have to say that my top three favorite things are: the study-abroad program, being surrounded by so many driven and hardworking people, and, of course, living in and experiencing New York City! Thanks to Stern, I have been able to study abroad in Florence, Italy, intern at a luxury cosmetics brand in New York City, and meet so many students and professors, both in and out of the classroom, who are diverse in thought and background."

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "Imbriaco believes the Andre Koo Tech MBA will give her a skill set that she can apply to a variety of industries. She hopes upon completing the program to use 'the combination of business, analytics, and technology-focused skills to contribute towards making a difference in the fields of cancer research,' she said. ... Trautwein was attracted to the [Fashion & Luxury] one-year MBA program by the 'promise & opportunity' it offers to graduates. NYU’s proximity to the fashion industry was also a draw. 'My desire to build a fashion brand paired perfectly with the robust program NYU Stern has built,' he said."
 

NYU Stern faculty and guests gathered on to celebrate the School’s community of scholars and to recognize excellence in research and scholarship, excellence in teaching, excellence in mentorship, excellence in influence and excellence in innovation on May 9.

Excerpt from STAT -- "Our research, which is forthcoming in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, suggests that we should not dismiss calorie labeling just yet, and that a trivially simple intervention can considerably increase the impact of calorie labels on consumers’ food orders."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "A thorough understanding of the digital world is essential for those going into finance, she adds. Banks are interested in building new strategies based around machine learning and other technological breakthroughs. 'The skills they want are digital, such as data analytics and AI,' Ms Briggs says. One of the reasons the banking sector continues to accept a large proportion of Stern graduates is that the school can provide connections with alumni working in the sector. 'We have very deep relationships,' Ms Briggs says."

A team of MBA students from the NYU Stern School of Business took top place in The Aspen Institute’s 2018 Business & Society International MBA Case Competition. The Stern team, including Christopher Blackett (MBA/MPA ’19), Yen Chiang (MBA ’19), Rebecca Haverson (MBA ’19) and Sophia Valner (MBA/MPA ’20), placed first out of a total of five finalist teams.

Today, NYU Stern posted its preliminary inaugural class profiles for its new one-year MBA programs: The Andre Koo Technology & Entrepreneurship MBA and the Fashion & Luxury MBA. 

Excerpt from Shine -- "New York University Shanghai and New York University's Stern School of Business jointly launched two new one-year master of science programs in data analytics and business computing, and quantitative finance. The programs aim to prepare new and recent college graduates for their careers in the rapidly evolving marketplaces of analytics and finance in China and Asia."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "In a report marking the fifth anniversary of the disaster, international firms and government organizations were warned that they must take 'shared responsibility' to improve the lives of those working in supply chains. 'Those who benefit from the Bangladeshi garment industry's low-cost, high-volume model, also have an obligation to do more,' said Michael Posner, professor of ethics and finance at New York University's Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'We have found tremendous improvement in the larger factories' involved in the safety programs, Paul Barrett, deputy director of the center, said in an email. 'But two other categories — factories overseen by the government and subcontracting facilities not overseen by anyone — remain at risk.'"

Excerpt from Reuters -- "...the mission of making factories safe in Bangladesh isn’t even close to done. The Accord and Alliance will not continue indefinitely. The Alliance plans to wrap up its work by the end of 2018. The Accord will renew its mandate every six months, but only through mid-2021. At some point, the factories that the two initiatives have overseen will return to the supervision of the Bangladeshi government, which is notorious for having ignored death traps like Rana Plaza and Tazreen Fashions, where a November 2012 fire killed 112."

Excerpt from PBS NewsHour -- "We’re proposing a Bangladeshi-led international task force that would use a concept known as shared responsibility to raise funds and see that they are spent properly on safety improvements in those factories that have not been reached so far."

Excerpt from the Thomson Reuters Foundation -- "'Western consumers are the beneficiaries of the cheap clothes produced in Bangladesh. Therefore, it is incumbent on western brands and retailers, as well as western governments, to step up to the plate,' Posner said."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "NYU Stern has a wide array of classes that prioritize sustainability, due in no small part to the school's Center for Sustainable Business, which further bolsters the school’s resources by helping to make sustainability a core part of the program’s mission. Furthermore, the Stern Campus Greening Initiative has helped to make the school’s buildings themselves environmentally friendly."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "While students are demanding an ethical curriculum, business schools are demanding MBA candidates who will become ethical leaders. NYU’s Stern School of Business in New York last year changed its admissions process to find candidates with empathy so that they can contribute to peer-learning. 'We are hoping it also helps us in terms of making sure they fit into our culture,' says Isser Gallogly, associate dean of MBA admissions at NYU Stern."

Excerpt from Bloomberg Businssweek -- "'Depending on how many subcontracting factories turn out to be in business, we estimate that it would cost $1.2 billion to remediate remaining dangerous conditions,' the report says. It says this sum should be the responsibility of 'an array of international actors,' along with Bangladeshi stakeholders."

Excerpt from The Daily Beast -- "'It’s very common in the Gulf region, for migrant workers, particularly low wage migrant workers to have their passports confiscated upon arrival,' said David Segall, a research scholar at New York University who has studied migrant labor abuse in the Gulf."
