Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from BusinessBecause — “'Be yourself and tell us your own unique story. Candidates who spend time on self-reflection and then lean into what truly matters most to them will be well on their way to crafting essays that our team will be thrilled to read,' says Lindsay Loyd, executive director of MBA admissions at NYU Stern School of Business."
 

Excerpt from News India Times — “'Raghu’s tenure as dean has been, in a word, outstanding. On essentially every measure—fundraising, admissions, job placements for students, strategic expansion (both globally and online), research—his deanship has been marked by success after record-setting success,' Mills said crediting him with raising more than $400 million over his 6-year tenure as Dean."
 

Excerpt from Fortune -- “'It’s now increasingly difficult, if not impossible to imagine—taking decisions without the help of computers, algorithms and data,' Ghose says. 'So, you will almost certainly see lots of benefits from that. I think that is just the way of the world today will just continue to be even more ubiquitous as we proceed. So, jump in and join the party.'"

Excerpt from The Economic Times -- “The role of higher education in fostering development and disruption is acknowledged, but less well so is its role in bringing people together and fostering peaceful development and disruption, NYU Stern School of Business dean Raghu Sundaram said.”
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "In his six years as dean, Sundaram raised $400 million, including the three largest scholarship gifts in NYU’s history; broken school MBA and undergraduate records for incoming class metrics and career outcomes; launched new programs like the Andre Koo Tech MBA, the Endless Frontier Labs, and the school’s first online programs, as well as the soon-to-launch joint MBA program with NYU-Abu Dhabi that will start in January 2025; and overseen the opening of other new Stern campuses, in Washington, D.C., London, and Shanghai."

Stern MBA students are getting a front row seat in the rapidly evolving ETA sector through a new Stern Solutions experiential learning project that was first launched in Fall 2023.

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Rangarajan Sundaram, dean of New York University’s Stern School of Business, agrees that, in the postwar period, 'India was desperately poor'. Its elite, highly competitive Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Management 'created models, a middle class and educational aspiration' which then attracted him and his peers to the US. After an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, he received a PhD from Cornell University in New York state."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “'What we want to do at Endless Frontier Labs is help seed the creation of many other Genentechs by bringing in these brilliant scientists with great technical ideas, and giving them business advice and connections to smart MBAs that are so essential to develop the commercial side of these technical ideas,' Hegde says."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "I was fortunate enough to be admitted into NYU Stern’s Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA cohort. The one-year MBA program’s focused curriculum, in the heart of New York City, provided the academic groundwork and practical experience crucial for my entrepreneurial journey. Equally valuable were my experienced classmates, who, despite juggling numerous commitments, remained an unwavering support system. In the midst of the NYU Entrepreneurs Challenge, some of my classmates offered invaluable feedback on our pitch deck, ultimately contributing to our victory on stage. Their dedication, even amidst busy schedules, demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to our shared success."

From Poets & Quants — Increase in GMAT scores from 2017 to 2023: NYU Stern, 18 points to 732. 

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "Not all schools are reporting a reduction in employment prospects. 'I can speak best to what we are seeing at NYU Stern, and the two-year full-time class of 2023 broke records with its employment outcomes, including highest ever mean total compensation at $201,727 and median base salary at $175,000,' says Brian Ruggiero, associate dean for careers at NYU Stern in New York City."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Five schools admitted classes that had an average SAT score of at least 1500, with New York University’s Stern School of Business leading the way for the second straight year. Its average of 1545 was 3 points higher than the Class of 2022."

The NYU Stern community is powered by the challenge to not only embrace but to lead change. This guiding call to action sparks innovation across the School, and the Undergraduate College’s (UC) new capstone course for seniors is the latest case in point. 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "But to start, NYU Stern is the only top U.S. business school offering a full-time MBA program in the Middle East with the Stern at NYU Abu Dhabi One-year Full-time MBA Program. Our MBA, a collaboration between NYU Stern and NYU Abu Dhabi, is designed to attract the highest quality applicants from all over the world who share an interest and a desire to build their initial careers in the MENA region, a dynamic region experiencing exponential growth. Enrolled students will not only have the opportunity to earn a top-notch MBA in just one year, but also the chance to study in two world-class cities – Abu Dhabi (in the spring and the fall) and New York City (in the summer)."

Excerpt from BusinessBecause — "For full-time roles outside of the typical summer internship conversions, companies will continue to recruit more of their MBA hiring volume in 'real time' closer to graduation (as opposed to the more traditional timelines of hiring and making offers in the fall, well in advance of spring graduation).

"The 'real-time' hiring affords companies more flexibility to hire for specific skills into roles that are immediately available and gives MBA graduates, especially in more non-traditional areas, added options."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “The business school of the future would be able to move nimbly, adding more contemporary content to the core and elective classes on a regular basis. Sustainability is part of the core as students learn how to deal with topics such as climate change, water scarcity, and inequality – which already have outsize impacts on business. And finally, the business school of the future recognizes that shareholder primacy and a sole focus on profits does a disservice to society and to business and its professors no longer teach it as the roadmap for healthy capitalism.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "The higher-than-expected ranks for these schools is a testament to their outstanding quality, often diminished in many traditional rankings."

Excerpt from Accepted.com -- "There are a couple other things I think that are pretty unique to our part-time program or our MBA programs in general. One is that we provide career services for life and as we know, people change jobs multiple times. So the fact that there’s always a resource available for free for our alumni, either have their resume reviewed, practice interviews, job posts, connections of that sort, even recruiting things going on, that’s a huge benefit for people that I think really has a lot of value.

"The other thing that we’ve offered more recently too is the ability to take courses for free after you graduate."
 

Excerpt from ESG Today — "Learning offerings provided through the expanded upskilling program will include 'Sustainability Simplified,' a live virtual speaker series by NYU Stern Executive Education and Center for Sustainable Business examining the science behind the climate crisis and the equity topics, the live virtual 'Sustainability Accelerator' program by MIT Sloan School of Management aimed at equipping business leaders with a common language and knowledge of important sustainability related concepts, and ASU’s 'Sustainability Certified: Foundations for Business,' which will offer an ESG certificate to participants who complete self-paced, modular courses."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “As the driving force behind the Center for Sustainable Business at NYU Stern, Professor Whelan has exemplified academic excellence and dedication to fostering sustainable business practices. I had the privilege of attending her sustainability impact consulting class, a holistic course that intricately blends rigorous case studies, hands-on work with real-world clients, and insightful field trips. Under her hands-on guidance, we weren’t just learning in the classroom; we were active participants on the ground, working shoulder to shoulder with local businesses, understanding and addressing sustainability challenges first-hand.”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “Professor Marciano has left an indelible mark on her students, and I am a testament to this fact. Her expertise in the field of strategic analysis extends far beyond the classroom. In class, her emphasis on real-world current events and the use of case studies to connect abstract concepts to practical applications demonstrates her profound influence on shaping how we view and engage with business practices and trends. Her teaching style is truly unique. She has an innate ability to cut through the extraneous and dive straight into the heart of complex issues.”

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "I've had the privilege of meeting hundreds of students in my short time here, and they've shattered the negative stereotypes for me. Far from being cold-blooded competitors, they're some of the warmest, most supportive people I have ever met. Despite possessing achievements such as launching successful startups, winning international competitions, or publishing groundbreaking research, they stay grounded and never boast about their accomplishments."

Excerpt from Accepted.com -- "The program is for anybody in the world. What we would like, however, is people who are interested in the region, people who are interested in the potential of building a career in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE, places like Dubai or the broader region...What people get in the classroom here isn't going to be very different from what they get in the classroom in New York or in MBA programs elsewhere. They are going to be prepared to be business leaders and business managers. So they are going to get the same kinds of core courses that they get in New York. We are bringing the same robust MBA program that we offer in New York here to Abu Dhabi, and we hope that this program will be appealing to people the world over, not just in the region, but beyond."
