What Stern EMBA Students are Saying
“I wanted to be challenged in a new way. My thirst for knowledge led me to a career in journalism; now, it’s propelled me to learn more about business. It’s difficult to truly understand how the world functions without understanding how business leaders analyze, strategize, and make decisions. I have furthered my pursuit by engaging with Stern’s network and supporting Stern’s Diversity & Inclusion work."
Erica Whitmore, EMBA NYC Class of 2024
Reporter, NBC Universal
"I expected our 'Leadership in Organization' course to involve tough readings and lots of theory, but instead Prof. Nate Pettit encouraged the cohort to "play the game" and put every concept into practice. We were presented us with challenging situations that made it hard to recognize ourselves and our behaviors. Moreover, the entire cohort had to collaborate on a solution for each case."
Bruno Costa, EMBA NYC Class of 2024
Project Manager, Itau Unibanco
“Choosing Stern means choosing a path that fosters real-world thinking. It's not just about academic excellence but also about gaining practical insights that you can apply in your career immediately. Its reputation as one of the best business schools is well-deserved.
