Experience Stern | News & Events

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — “This has clearly become an important issue for international students as they are looking at MBA programs and potential higher-education opportunities,” said JP Eggers, NYU Stern’s vice dean for MBA programs and academic director of the Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA, which like the full-time MBA is STEM-designated."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "'In fact, I believe we have a tighter community at Stern because we choose to spend time together and do things we’re interested in both at the same time – not just because there’s nothing else to do. We are a strong, tight-knit community despite the million ways to spend our time in NYC, and the city helps us be stronger together and find our crew – be it Broadway fans or bikers, foodies or fitness enthusiasts.'”

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "2023 has been a year of history-making gifts for a few U.S. B-schools. In February, New York University's Stern School of Business announced that it had received the largest gift in its history, a testamentary gift of $53.6 million from alumnus Anne Tasca, a real estate magnate, to support student scholarships at the undergraduate and MBA levels."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "The wealth of options appealed to Reggie Greathouse, a 2023 Poets&Quants MBA To Watch and NYU Stern grad. For him, New York City provided access to every imaginable industry, company, and area of expertise – all in one concentrated, easily-accessible area."

Excerpt from U.S. News and World Report -- "In NYU’s MBA tech program, Eggers says rather than specific AI courses, elements of AI are spread throughout different courses, including data, business analytics, foundations of networks and mobile systems, tech evolution and economics, industry immersion and more."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Aside from your classmates, what was the key part of NYU Stern’s MBA programming that led you to choose this business school and why was it so important to you? The diversity of the program — It is one of the most robust financial programs and exposure to industry leading programs in luxury marketing, tech, and the emerging world of generative AI."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "The Class of 2025 also includes members with some colorful backgrounds. Some highlights? Jasmin Rainbow studied French, Latin, Dutch, and Polish languages as an undergrad at the University of Cambridge. For the past decade, the NYU Stern first-year has been the lead singer for Colonel Spanky’s Love Ensemble, a 10-piece functional band."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "'I do think this is a good trend of students looking at both their first job, but also their second, third and fourth jobs after their MBA and thinking about how they prepare themselves for the rest of their career,' J.P. Eggers, professor of management and organizations and vice dean of MBA and graduate programs at New York University's Stern School of Business, says."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Stern has numerous professors with STEM degrees and other backgrounds. This allows Stern to offer more hard-skills classes, in which I learned SQL, Python, Data Science, and more."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "It’s pretty hard to beat New York City. It’s an incredibly diverse, crazy, fast paced, city with amazing opportunities across industries and functions. The energy and hustle of New York is contagious, and NYU’s campus is in one of the best locations in Manhattan — nestled between the East Village and the West Village."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Dozens — at some schools, hundreds — of need- and merit-based MBA awards are available in the form of scholarships, fellowships, grants, and other awards at the top MBA programs; Poets&Quants has collected them here for easy reference."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Many things resonated with me about NYU Stern – but the one that hit home the most was the school’s focus on change. The pandemic literally shut down or changed many industries and businesses forever. In such dynamic environments, Stern’s focus on change with a multitude of experiential and immersive learning courses was, to me, the only right way of doing an MBA in 2023."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "I chose NYU for its earned and respected place in higher education. From there, I chose the NYU Stern Executive MBA program in Washington, DC because it was the best fit for my needs: a strong finance/quant program with exceptional staff and flexible format that supported my demanding work and home commitments. Once a month, in-person classes on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have been manageable with my work travel schedule and weekend kids’ sporting events."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "The executive MBA caters to a more experienced cohort, combined with the flexible structure of every other Friday and Saturday. I knew that I wanted to do an in-person program since I wanted to build a strong network with my classmates and professors, and I have done just that."

Excerpt from U.S. News -- "Similarly, some of the rising specializations at Stern have been in areas like entertainment and media, entrepreneurship innovations, sustainable business, FinTech, tech product management and health care, Eggers says.

'These are things that being in New York City are definitely a big part of who we are,' he says."
 

When it comes to developing the next generation of business leaders, NYU Stern’s Leadership Accelerator has taken the case study method off the page and into real life. Earlier this spring, after a few Zoom iterations, the Leadership Accelerator hosted its first in-person “live case” for MBA students. 

Excerpt from Vox -- "Conor Grennan, a dean at NYU’s Stern business school, who recently took on the additional title of head of generative AI, sees the title as more of an initiative and thinks of it as akin to a chief learning officer or chief productivity officer. In the position, he pushes people across NYU, from students to professors to administrators and recruiters, to use AI to become more efficient and better at their tasks."

Excerpt from Fortune -- "New York University Stern School of Business, which Fortune ranks as having the No. 7 full-time MBA program in the U.S., offers several opportunities for its business school students to learn about A.I."
 

Excerpt from Clear Admit -- "This may seem obvious because “New York” is in our name and is our location, but it goes so much deeper than that. It’s our locational endowment!  Stern is in and of the city, intertwined with it. What does this mean for our students? We offer a vast array of Stern Solutions experiential learning opportunities for our MBAs. These are electives for those in our two-year program, while they are baked into the curricula for our focused one-year programs, the Andre Koo Technology and Entrepreneurship MBA and the Fashion and Luxury MBA. Our NYC location allows us to source projects across a broad set of industries– from tech, to fashion, to real estate, to finance, and more. It allows C-suite executives to attend a board meeting in the morning, then guest lecture or teach a class in the afternoon. We have a deep base of local alumni for networking, and the Stern administration builds and nurtures strong relationships with top NY employers to create lasting talent pipelines for recruitment and placement."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "It has been a wonderful two years, and I cannot wait to continue to learn throughout my career. And I hope that hearing just a little bit about my experience has helped you on your journey to discover whether an MBA is for you, and whether Stern is the right fit. For me, I can unequivocally say: going to Stern was one of the best decisions of my life, and my life will never be the same because of it."

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "Two leading business schools – one in the U.S., one in Europe – are teaming up to provide a pathway for talented executives with eyes on the C-suite.

"The C-Suite Pathway Program, a five-month immersive program preparing senior executives to excel at the highest levels of their organizations, will be offered jointly by IESE Business School and NYU Stern Executive Education."
 

A decade ago, building on NYU Stern’s long-standing foundation in business and society endeavors to support a new generation of responsible leaders, Stern became the first business school to open a human rights center.

Excerpt from Find MBA -- "Back at Stern in New York, career outcomes for graduates of the Fashion and Luxury MBA Program have remained bright as well. 'Since the program launched, employment rates have jumped to 94 percent three months after graduation. These outcomes speak to the industry demand for MBA talent with the specialized knowledge and skills,' says Serdari."  
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "When first designed, the curriculum focused on predictive modeling, or what will happen next, Ghose says. Focus has shifted over the last decade to causal inference – why did this happen and how will it impact the future? – to better meet professional demands on the job. The program regularly updates the curriculum to cover the most timely topics such as modern Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, Web 3.0, and econometrics.

“'At its core, Stern’s MSBA empowers students to become data scientists who can leverage the potential of data analysis to drive decision making and innovate new opportunities for competitive advantage,' Ghose says."
 

Excerpt from Poets & Quants — "What do you enjoy most about teaching business students? I love the creativity that my students display in their end-of-term fintech startup projects, where they develop their own idea for a fintech startup and how it should best be financed. I also love hearing about how our class topics intersect with their careers and experiences."
