Now, data science is rapidly becoming one of the most popular business majors at universities that offer the degree."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants for Undergrads -- "'Over the years, we started realizing that there was an increased interest, both from the students and from companies outside,' says Rohit Deo, acting dean.

'At NYU Stern, we have a really strong understanding of our unique geographic advantage. New York is the fashion capital of the world. Anyone who’s anyone is here, whether they’re an American company or an Asian company. If you don’t have a presence here, you won’t make it globally,' Carr says. 'So given that everyone is here, we have a great opportunity to bring in speakers.' ... Li has taken several electives in the luxury marketing track already, including the experiential seminar, and believes that they’ve prepared her well for her internships.

Excerpt from Accepted.com -- "We value IQ and EQ – both intelligence and leadership. Our approach to academics is distinctive: it’s a mixed approach (not just lecture based or case-based, but a mix of approaches). We provide a range of opportunities; our courses are taught by a range of faculty (from Nobel Prize winners to practitioners who teach part time). There’s a lot of flexibility in the program – you can pursue between up to three specializations (or no specialization). And you can take classes overseas, or at other NYU grad schools."

Excerpt from VoxEU -- "Fiscal adjustments based upon spending cuts are much less costly in terms of short-run output losses than those based upon tax increases. Adjustments based on tax increases are associated with large and prolonged recessions, whether the adjustment starts in a recession or not.

Excerpt from Yahoo -- "One of the first things [the CFDA Fashion Incubator Program participants] do is spend a semester working with an MBA student from NYU’s Stern School. That’s like having a McKinsey [consultant] working with you.

Excerpt from MetroMBA -- "The effort to naturally integrate returning military veterans is not just limited to the school, says Raghu Sundaram, vice dean of MBA programs. 'A part of it is professional: connecting them to alumni who are themselves veterans and who can act as mentors, assisting in this transition process and to corporations who hold special events for veterans,' Sundaram says. 'And a part of it is social, allowing them to bond with each other even as they get to know the school and the city.'"
