Excerpt from Poets & Quants -- "Advanced Professional Certificate students are to take 15 units, a quarter of the number required for an MBA, on a part-time basis, in MBA classes that have capacity. Each student will follow one of three tracks: finance, marketing, or general business. 'The finance track could quickly empower people who didn’t major in finance in college, but who now work in the industry, with a broader perspective that helps them excel in their function,' says Isser Gallogly, assistant dean of MBA admissions. 'Liberal arts majors can combine the fundamentals of marketing with the latest thinking in analytics and digital through the marketing track. Entrepreneurs without a business degree can customize the handful of business courses they want to take in the general business track. Others with an MBA may want to delve into a new area of interest.'"

There are other areas of business in which I still have a lot to learn.'"

'I think China is now struggling with the next phase of economic development. They have done a good job but they know that low-cost is running its course,' he says. The next phase is to invest in innovation and this means changing the way students are educated more widely. 'The objective of NYU in Shanghai is not to educate the 2000 [enrolled] students,' says Prof Zemel, 'but to have a long-term impact on other institutions.'"

Excerpt from TopMBA -- "Gallogly says the program will likely be of interest to applicants, 'who really are very driven, very motivated, and very structured and who have the time right now.'

By building these relationships in his first semester, he was able to secure an internship with cable channel USA Network."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "'Stern Speaks,' a forum organised by members of the Association of Hispanic and Black Business Students, initiated an important dialogue on NYU’s campus about the experience of black people in America. Those of us who attended had the privilege of hearing three brave classmates share their stories, all of which included personal encounters with both individual and institutional racism. When the floor opened to the audience, people mustered the courage to ask uncomfortable questions. Honest and sometimes painful answers were given in reply. A dialogue had begun."

Or so Professors David Backus and Glenn Okun learned when they organized Data Bootcamp, a non-credit elective course designed for students who want to learn Python, a popular programming language, in order to analyze economic, financial and business data most effectively.

This is not to say the MBA lifestyle is pure stress. Amid all the casing, networking and thank-you note writing there are some really exciting opportunities in B-school land. You suddenly have a network of outstandingly bright peers with whom you can enter case competitions, design products, build companies and more."
