New York University Leonard N. Stern School of
Business
The Stern School of Business at New York University is very much
a product of its setting. Located just a couple of miles north
of Wall Street, Stern boasts the connections and the access to
industry heavyweights to sustain a great finance program.
Because New York is also America's most international city,
Stern has the capacity to focus its curriculum on world business
issues. And, because the city is home to so many your executives
looking for a leg up, NYU is also home to one of the nation's
top-ranked part-time MBA programs.
First year at Stern is devoted almost entirely to core
curriculum (this sequence takes two years for most part-timers).
Those who cannot demonstrate proficiency in writing, analytical
methods, economics, or calculus must being their tenure at Stern
with noncredit courses in those subjects. All students take the
Stern Pre-Term, a noncredit "series of exercises, seminars, and
other experiences that provide a focused first exposure to the
Stern MBA program." They then proceed to a series of required
core courses and "menu" core courses (students chose three such
courses from a menu of four). Students report that "First year
is much more difficult than second year" and happily report that
"Stern makes an effort to have core courses taught by senior
faculty, which really enhances that first-year learning
experience." Second-year students must select a major area
requiring twelve hours of course credit; students give glowing
reviews to study in finance, marketing, international business,
and media studies.
According to our survey, "Most of the professors are good. There
are a few great ones and some bad ones. Professors are well
tuned to what's going on currently and apply it to the topics of
the day. Many are consultants to well-known companies." Students
also tell us that "The administration has become much more
responsive to student input. Many recent and proposed changes to
faculty, facilities, and coursework are very positive" and that
"Overall, things run quite smoothly at Stern, including
registration, scheduling of events and career resources." On the
downside, students complain that the school needs to "main a
better balance between full-time and part-time student life."
Observed one MBA, "There is a lack of participation in
team-building and school spirit of community." Full-time
students also complain that "too many classes are given at night
to accommodate the schedules of part-timers."
