The Meaning of Business Education

As a member of NYU Stern’s stellar faculty, you are at the forefront of a dialogue about what business education should be and why research-oriented business schools are relevant to society. At a time when many business schools are focused on the delivery and the technology of education, we at Stern continue to emphasize content. By teaching our students to think not only critically and analytically, but also historically and ethically, you are equipping future business leaders to manage technologies, challenges and events we haven’t even begun to imagine.

The defining characteristic of the very best business schools is a distinguished research faculty, committed to both the creation and dissemination of knowledge. It is your deep knowledge, real-world experience, and equal passion for teaching and research that are propelling NYU Stern to the next level of innovation and excellence.


"We are entrusted by society with the culture of a profession, and we have a responsibility to reinvigorate it through the education of each new generation. Our goal at NYU Stern must be to provide meaningful and serious intellectual challenges that prepare students to deal with a complex world."
Thomas F. Cooley
Dean
