An Education in Possible
The Stern collaborative community begins with our LAUNCH orientation program, an innovative intellectual summit to
challenge and broaden your thinking about the world, business, and your ability to create value.
The Energy of a Global Hub
Our education takes place in a classroom
unlike any other at the intersection of world
business, policy, and culture. We believe in
harnessing the energy of global hubs to
immerse students in hands-on learning
opportunities and give them the resources
they need to apply their education and
bring their ideas to life.
IQ + EQ
Our education is fueled by a community of
exceptional individuals – individuals who
possess both intellectual and interpersonal
strengths to act as forces for change by
turning ideas into action and inspiring
others to their cause.
Academic Excellence
Academic excellence is the foundation of our
education. We believe excellence is rooted in a
broad awareness of global dynamics and realized
by equipping students to solve real problems in real
time. By working hand-in-hand with unparalleled
faculty and peers, our students develop and
implement ideas that challenge the limits of business
and create value to change the world for the better.
Collaborative Community
The culture of our education is shaped by the
fundamental belief that collective initiative far
exceeds the sum of individual efforts. Inside
and outside the classroom, through peers, faculty,
and the greater Stern network, collaboration is
deeply woven into every part of Stern life.
Our mission
is clear.
Our approach
is unique.
It starts with our
four core values.
“ Our mission is to develop people and ideas that
transform challenges into opportunities to create
value for business and society.” - Dean Peter Henry
