NYU Stern Undergraduate College

The Cohort Community

 A lifelong network of friends

From the moment you arrive on campus, the Stern Cohort Program provides you with a community of friends and a network of support. Every freshman class is divided into 10 cohorts of 50-60 students who connect for the first time at orientation in August. As a freshman, you will take the Cohort Leadership Project in your first semester with your cohort.  This connection will continue throughout the course of your four years, as you will have the opportunity to enjoy social events both on and off campus, professional development forums, corporate visits, and a variety of other exciting programming with members of your cohort. Through each event and every moment together, your cohort will grow as a unique network of friends, classmates, and future professional contacts.

Additionally, some of Stern’s most successful alumni sponsor the Cohort Program both financially and through mentorship. Alumni sponsors have taken students to the New York Stock Exchange, corporate offices of AIG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, and to dinners and shows in the city.
