A Typical Class Day
A typical class day in the Executive MBA Program begins with breakfast on campus with your classmates. Students go on to attend two courses during the day. A lunch break provides a great opportunity for students to connect with their classmates on a more informal level outside the classroom. Stern also provides special programming during lunch focused on important business topics and other areas of interest to our students.
