NYU Stern’s massive part-time MBA program, which boasts some 2,106 students, tends to overwhelm the 784 full-timers. The school, in New York’s Greenwich Village, offers a 60-credit program; more than half of which are electives. The program begins with Pre-Term where students meet classmates, explore New York City, and learn about academics, career opportunities, and student life. To ensure that students have a solid foundation in all areas of business, the majority of the first year is comprised of Stern core courses: Financial Accounting & Reporting, Statistics & Data Analysis, and a flex core made up of seven course options. Core course waivers may be given to students who completed an undergraduate major in a core course area or hold a CPA. Students may also waive a course by passing a proficiency exam. The second year is comprised almost entirely of elective courses in addition to the final core course, Professional Responsibility.

Stern students graduate with an MBA in General Management and may select up to three specializations. The school offers more than 20 areas of specialization, each comprised of about three elective courses.

Rankings Analysis:

The Stern School had a tough rankings year in 2011, the only top 25 school in the PoetsandQuants’ ranking to fall three spots to a rank of 15th from 12th a year earlier. No school among this elite group fell further. How come? The prestige school lost ground in three of the four most influential rankings of the year, dropping one place in both the Forbes and U.S. News rankings and two places in The Financial Times’ latest global rating. The only bright spot was The Economist’s ranking which lifted Stern two places to 12th globally from 14th in 2010.
