NYU Stern Introduces New Essay Question

NYU Stern is introducing a new Essay 2 to its full-time MBA application for Fall 2013 applicants, the first major change in the essays in six years. 

The question will assess an applicant's fit with the Stern mission and mindset about creating value in an environment of increased ambiguity. The School believes these qualities are essential to lead in today's global business environment.

"The central issues of our time--from fiscal and environmental sustainability to the rise of emerging markets and the coming wave of urbanization--cry out for disruptive leaders who can think across traditional intellectual boundaries and work collaboratively to harness the power of markets for the good of the world," said Peter Henry, Dean of NYU Stern. 

The new Essay 2, titled "Your Two Paths," asks the following:
The mission of the Stern School of Business is to develop people and ideas that transform the challenges of the 21st century into opportunities to create value for business and society. Given today's ever-changing global landscape, Stern seeks and develops leaders who thrive in ambiguity, embrace a broad perspective and think creatively about the range of ways they can have impact.
        (a) Describe two different and distinct paths you could see your
        career taking long term. How do you see your two paths unfolding?
        (b) How do your paths tie to the mission of NYU Stern?
        (c) What factors will most determine which path you will take?
       
Stern will keep its well-known "Personal Expression" Essay 3 that invites applicants to describe themselves to their future classmates, using almost any creative medium, including video.

NYU Opens Center for Global Economy and Business

Center for Global Economy and Business

For more than a quarter of a century, the NYU Stern Center for Japan-U.S. Business and Economic Studies served as a valuable academic bridge between Japan and the United States. With the evolution of the global economy over this period and the refocusing of economic growth to the emerging economies, both countries have had to adapt. Accordingly, the Center’s mandate has been widened to encompass broad themes in international business, growth and economic policy that played a key role in the original Japan – U.S. focus, and accordingly, starting in academic year 2011, the Center is renamed to the Center for Global Economy and Business.

The Center supports substance-driven, cohesive faculty research groups and development initiatives, as well as programs that leverage NYU’s global sites.
