FULL-TIME PROGRAM“ S tern provides an environment that prepares students not only for the challenges of today, but for a world that has yet to be imagined. We are a place where talented, ambitious, and socially conscious students learn to ask the right questions and to debate the answers in a spirited but civil fashion. Stern is rigorous and dynamic, but also collaborative. At Stern we value EQ as much as IQ.”Dean Peter HenryCollaborative CommunityToday’s business world demands leaders who are adept at the art of collaborative infl uence. Solo acts in business don’t make it very far . At Stern, our values are clear: we believe in mutual support and collaboration. Students not only work together on class projects, but help each other prepare for job interviews, and partner with the school’s leadership to drive new initiatives. Our graduates capitalize on the Stern experience, gaining the ability to lead teams and impact organizations.IQ plus EQHigh test scores alone do not create inspiring leaders – it also takes emotional intelligence, or EQ. We shape the Stern community with individuals who possess both intellectual and interpersonal strengths. We also provide countless opportunities to further develop these skills. You’ll experience this in our unique admissions process and our impressive array of student activities.At NYU Stern, we develop leaders equipped to take on the new challenges of business.
