MBA Business: Luxury & Retail | Experiential Learning

Summer Semester: NYC Immersion with Stern Solutions Project - You will get a front row seat to what makes Luxury & Retail a unique part of the city’s identity. As these industries are undergoing significant transformation, this course will give you a broad exposure to the depth and breadth of the business of fashion as a whole, as well as the disruptions challenging its future. From skill-based workshops, industry access via company visits and networking opportunities, to a live case with a real industry partner, you will emerge from the summer with tools to maximize your industry expertise. Learn more.

Fall Semester: Luxury & Retail Digital Solutions with Stern Solutions Project -  In the fall, we explore fashion's business transformation from a technological point of view. Through this exploration, we analyze how companies digitally interact and transact with the customer (retail), manufacture their goods, or structure their operations. By blending technology, business, and creativity, we analyze the digital tools that are reshaping the customer experience online. We will also embark on Stern Solution projects with fashion companies of all sizes and prompts, focusing on digital challenges.

Winter Semester: European Immersion - Over an intensive period in January, you will be given a total experience in the European Luxury sector. You will attend class sessions with experts from the industry and visit luxury retail stores and companies in a European market. You will also complete a project relating to a premiere European brand. While we make sure that each year offers a unique experience tailored to that cohort and overall market conditions, we invite you to still learn more about previous programs.

Spring Semester: Stern Solutions Project -  In addition to your last Stern Solutions project with an industry leader, you will have the chance to fine tune your educational experience through electives that serve your specific interests.
