Program Description

NYU Stern’s Executive MBA program is consistently rated as one of the top Executive MBA programs around the world. This distinctive program offers experienced professionals the opportunity to combine a full-time career with a rigorous, comprehensive academic program that culminates in an MBA degree in General Management. The Executive MBA program is offered in two locations: New York City and Washington, D.C. The New York program accepts two intakes per year in January and August and takes twenty-two months to complete, while the Washington, D.C. program accepts one intake per year each August and takes two years to complete.

In the New York program, students take classes every other Friday and Saturday and during two required one-week residencies (one domestic, one international). In the Washington, D.C. program, students take classes Friday, Saturday and Sunday once per month, and during three required one-week residencies (two domestic, one international). Both formats allow students to pursue their studies without career disruption.

The Executive MBA program provides talented, high-potential professionals with an extraordinary opportunity to develop new ways of thinking, further hone their skills, learn from the very best faculty in their fields, study with a diverse student body, and build professional and personal relationships that will last a lifetime. Participants are experienced professionals with an average of 13 years of work experience and 30-40% already have advanced degrees.
