Excerpt from Accounting Today -- "'The distributed ledger reduces the need for audit by 97 percent,' he said. 'Auditors in the future will be competing on the basis of productivity, which will essentially mean who has the fastest hardware and software. And fraud, in the classical sense, will be all but impossible.'"

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "The 18-month program covers entrepreneurship, marketing, negotiation analysis, fintech, and climate change, among others.

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "Maintain a journal of your personal and professional achievements way ahead of application deadlines to help formulate your professional goals for the essays. I would recommend at least two years ahead of applying to business school. I didn’t do this, but am certain it would have helped!"

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "'Starting TRIUM was a very pragmatic solution,' Kroll says. 'I was mid-career at 36 and it afforded me the opportunity to continue to work while planning my next move.'"

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "NYU Stern’s refreshed application process, which asks candidates for contact details of referees, was introduced, in part, to ensure that prospective students are not writing their own letters. Isser Gallogly, the school’s associate dean of MBA admissions and program innovation, says there are new sophisticated detection methods that schools can use to spot fraud in an application. 'The bottom line is: the letter must be written entirely by the endorser,' he says. 'It simply isn’t worth taking the risk of writing your own.'"

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "NYU Stern received hundreds of applications for the inaugural cohort (2018-19) of the Creative Destruction Lab in New York City (CDL-NYC). After an exhaustive review of founders from some of the world’s most prestigious research institutes, Stern selected just 27 ventures to take part—9 percent of all applications. Members of the inaugural Creative Destruction Lab have spearheaded disruptive innovation in the realms of artificial intelligence, robotics, material science, therapeutics, and medical devices."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "'Stern has really led the way in these areas, introducing the International Studies Program course in 2001 and the Social Impact Core of courses in 2004.

Excerpt from mbaMission -- "The W.R. Berkley Innovation Labs serve as the hub of all entrepreneurial activities and events at the school, and in 2008, Stern introduced a Sustainable Business and Innovation (formerly Social Innovation and Impact) specialization, thereby formalizing an academic track for students with this career path in mind. And for those who also have the entrepreneurial bug, Stern added a Social Venture Competition—in which participants compete for a $75K prize—to its traditional for-profit $300K Entrepreneurs Challenge."
 

Excerpt from Metro MBA -- "Stern’s banking curriculum spans topics such as bankruptcy management, microfinance, governmental policy and global banking, and more. A Stern MBA can offer a competitive edge in M&A, public finance, sales and trading, asset management and equity/fixed income research."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause -- "Where a lot of people get caught up day to day, going from task to task, an MBA helps you view business and society on more of a global, long-term scale. You are encouraged to think about where various industries and sectors will be in the future, what are the trends that we can see emerging, and to see society and business from a birds-eye view."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "As I go into my final semester here at NYU, I have to say that I agree with all the advice and reflections made by these recent graduates. However, I would like to add one piece of advice: do not rush. That may seem very vague, but as my time at Stern comes to an end, I realize there are so many opportunities I said no to or didn’t explore because I thought it was a 'waste of time.' Make the most of the four years you have and don’t feel pressure from your peers or family to do something that won’t make you happy in the long-run."

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "The picture is similar [to Harvard Business School] at New York University’s Stern School of Business, whose MBA programme is ranked 13th in the US by the FT. Applications for its full-time MBA programme were down nearly 4 per cent for entry in 2018.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "We launched the new Focused MBA program in Technology & Entrepreneurship in May 2018 (Andre Koo Tech MBA), and Technology has become the #3 employer of Stern MBA graduates (behind Finance and Consulting), with Amazon as #1 for the Class of 2017. This means more courses (across all programs) in technology, fintech, analytics, and entrepreneurship, and more technology companies on campus for projects and recruiting. Whatever your career aspirations, technology and exposure to technology are central to everyone’s success."

Excerpt from NBC News -- "'To a much greater degree than outside Silicon Valley, the employees of these companies have a sense of purpose and idealism,' said Paul Barrett, deputy director of the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University."

Excerpt from TopMBA -- “Gaining a better understanding of what it takes to succeed in your job, as well as the job of those around you in a variety of fields, makes you a valuable asset to your company. Not only does this help secure your position, it also gives you a 360° view of the current business landscape and insight into what the future may hold.”

Excerpt from Forbes -- "...NYU Stern’s Jeff Battipaglia’s rite of passage came when he committed to the U.S. Naval Academy. It was a nine year commitment between schooling and service, one that taught him 'how to think, how to care, how to lead, and how to earn and give respect.'"

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "The first is a sustainability impact consulting course set in New York and Costa Rica. Classes will meet in the fall then spend a week in Costa Rica at the beginning of January working on such potential student projects as business and marketing plans for agricultural production, ecotourism, and environmental education for youth. Other new courses on Stern’s roster are Economics of Innovation — studying the behavior of inventors, artists, and writers to figure out what makes people creative, what encourages firms to take risks, and what types of institutions encourage people to do their best work. The other is Deal Making in the Entertainment Industry which uses film and television content as the primary example for what goes into cutting a deal in the entertainment world."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "MBA graduates themselves inspired their peers to return to campus. NYU Stern’s Schnurman, for example, reviewed the Linkedin profiles of senior leaders in global organizations she admired and noticed a trend: they all had MBAs. ... NYU Stern’s Langinger uses 'clear-eyed' to represent her class. 'They know what they like, what they don’t like, and what they’re working toward.'"

Excerpt from the New York Law Journal -- "A 2017 report from NYU’s Stern School of Business evaluated 12 leading ESG measurement frameworks—including the UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, Bloomberg Social indicators, and the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark—which issue rankings, reports, or certifications for particular companies based on ESG metrics. The report found that for all twelve frameworks, more than half of the social impact indicators focused more on a company’s efforts than the impact of its those efforts."
