Live & Learn in NYC

The intersection of business and culture

If location is everything, NYU Stern clearly has it all. One of the great advantages of The Stern Advantage Program is the opportunity to spend part of a summer in New York and experience all that the city has to offer in terms of career development, cultural riches and just plain fun.

New York City is an international cultural and business center. At our Greenwich Village campus, you will be minutes away from Wall Street and the corporate headquarters of midtown Manhattan. During the corporate visit portion of the Program, you will have an opportunity to meet business professionals on location and gain an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at
leading firms.

Business professionals work hard, but play hard too. To unwind, you may find yourself perusing the art galleries and shops in SoHo, taking the 6 train to Yankee Stadium to catch a Sunday afternoon game, viewing the latest exhibit at the Modern Museum of Art, or attending an award-winning performance on Broadway. These are just a few of the many cultural, "only in New York" opportunities that await you.

From Broadway to Wall Street, New York City has it all!

People often make the claim that New York City is like no other place in the world, which is definitely true since you can get a falafel snack and then go next store for some authentic Vietnamese food. And, Union Square is the perfect home base. Spending a summer in the City as part of the Stern Advantage Program is incredible because the world is at your fingertips.

The corporate visit to Carnegie Hall - and the opportunity to converse with its Managing Director - was a once in a lifetime type of experience. To learn first-hand from an insider how so storied an organization maintained its aesthetic quality while balancing the same demands as every other business operation was truly unique.
