Great to be here.Can you provide an overview of NYU Stern's full-time, two-year MBA program? [2:17]So NYU's two year program, full-time, it's the classic program that you think of when you hear “MBA.” It is a graduate management education that delivers on both breadth and depth. Year one, you're going to jump in with launch orientation and then focus on the core requirements, both the required and some picks from our menu. Then have a summer internship, followed by your second year, when you really jump into electives and your specializations. There are three things that I'd highlight that make Stern special. Firstly being access, and really this is, we are located in the heart of New York City and we fully take advantage of that. We are so connected across businesses and industries, from FinTech to fashion, from media to marketing, you name it, we've got Stern alumni there and the beauty is, they're just a subway right away. So we really are in the heart of the city and take advantage of it.The next thing that I'd highlight is Stern's Solutions. So this is our experiential learning opportunities for students, where they're really jumping in and participating in live business challenges in the moment. This is something that Stern launched in the early two thousands, so this is two decades worth of experience and expansion and development. And lastly, I think Stern MBAs really have the opportunity to customize their experience. So I mentioned specializations earlier, you can pick three from over 20. There are more than 200 electives to choose from, and there are opportunities to study abroad, whether that's for a semester or for one to two weeks, on a Doing Business In (DBI) international intensive.The second year is entirely elective, isn'tFollow UsYouTubeFacebookLinkedInContact [email protected]+1 (310) 815-9553
