Curriculum

NYU Stern Executive MBA students are required to take 60 credits of executive-level coursework to graduate. Firstly, the introductory year of the program is made up of core coursework. After that, the second year consists of 12 elective courses. These elective offerings are wide-ranging, as EMBA students can take courses in any of NYU’s schools/departments. These departments, for example, include the NYU School of Law, the Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service, & the Real Estate Institute at NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies.

EMBA students can also pursue up to three separate specializations. Each specialization specifically requires nine credits of relevant coursework chosen by the program’s faculty. Specializations can vary from year-to-year and class-to-class. Generally, a full course is worth three credits.

NYU Stern Executive MBA Admissions

Applicants must secure time sponsorship from their employer to apply to NYU Stern’s Executive MBA program. Time sponsorship, for example, is an explicit acknowledgement that the applicant will have to spend significant time out of the office in pursuit of his or her EMBA degree. The EMBA online application includes a Sponsorship Form that must be filled out by the applicant’s employer. However, financial sponsorship, while offered by many employers, is not required to apply to the EMBA program—students may choose to finance the degree themselves, in conjunction with the various financial aid and scholarship offerings provided by NYU Stern.

NYU Stern Executive MBA applicants are also required to have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent degree and a minimum of six years of work experience.

NYU Stern Executive MBA applicants are also encouraged to submit the online pre-application form, along with a professional resume, at which point the admissions office will be in contact with them regarding an interview and a class visit. Interviews are a required part of the application process—although students are not required to attend an interview prior to submitting their formal application, they are recommended to do so. Applicants must also submit the online formal application form, a professional resume, two application essays, two recommendations, an Organization Sponsorship form signed by the applicant’s employer, official university transcripts, and a $1750 processing fee. EMBA applicants are not required to provide GMAT, GRE, or EA scores, but they are accepted.
