NYU Stern

NYU Stern, formally the Leonard N. Stern School of Business, is the business school of New York University (NYU), a private research university based in New York City. As an academic brand, Stern is known for its location in Greenwich Village, its proximity to Wall Street and the global financial capital, and its emphasis on finance, economics, marketing, and quantitative business disciplines. The school offers undergraduate, MBA, executive MBA, and doctoral programs, along with a wide range of executive education courses. Its faculty includes prominent economists and business scholars, and its alumni network spans finance, consulting, technology, and entrepreneurship. The Stern brand is closely tied to NYU's broader identity and to New York City's business ecosystem. It competes with other elite U.S. business schools such as Wharton, Columbia Business School, and Harvard Business School. The school is named after Leonard N. Stern, an NYU alumnus and businessman whose gift endowed the school. Stern's curriculum and research centers focus on areas including financial markets, fintech, sustainable business, and entertainment, media, and technology. Its urban campus and industry connections are central to its market positioning.

NYU Stern traces its origins to 1900, when New York University established its School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance. The school grew alongside New York City's emergence as a global financial center, and it became known for training professionals in accounting, finance, and commerce. In 1988, the school was renamed the Leonard N. Stern School of Business following a major gift from Leonard N. Stern, an NYU alumnus and chairman of the Hartz Group. The school moved into its current facilities at the Kaufman Management Center on West Fourth Street in the 1990s, anchoring its presence in Greenwich Village. Over the decades, Stern developed strengths in finance, economics, and quantitative analysis, and it expanded its global footprint through international exchange programs, research centers, and executive education. The school has been led by several deans, including Thomas Cooley, Peter Henry, and Raghu Sundaram, who became dean in 2018. Stern's brand is closely associated with NYU's broader rise in global rankings and its location in one of the world's most dynamic business environments.
