NYU Stern Application

Stern Program Overview
As its literature states, New York University puts its Stern School of Business students in the heart of the world’s top financial centers, wedged between Midtown and Wall Street. Unlike most campuses, NYU seamlessly blends into its environment, making it difficult to distinguish where the school ends and New York City begins. NYU offers a diverse program, featuring full-time and part-time options for working professionals, as well as a Ph.D. program and an undergraduate major.

Students have the opportunity to learn from experts, studying with professors who are regularly quoted in The Wall Street Journal. Case studies become real-world experiences when students can examine an issue and then visit the business in person, mere blocks away. NYU Stern is committed to providing a top-tier business education in the heart of the most diverse, vibrant business center in North America, and its central location allows both full-time and part-time students to draw heavily from the city’s resources.

Stern’s culture reflects the diversity and intensity of both its environment and the student body. Among the recently admitted class, you’ll find an Emmy Award winner for ESPN’s SportsCenter, a professional soccer player, and a student who flew UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters. This amazing group of cohorts gains unparalleled access to the businesses and financial centers that drive the city’s economy.

The NYU Stern School of Business is ranked #7 (tied) in the latest US News & World Report’s Best Business Schools. The acceptance rate is 23.6%.
