Stern Signature Projects

Catalog description

NYU’s research continually drives innovation for the global challenges of tomorrow. Stern Signature Projects (SSPs) pair student teams with research centers to address some of the world’s most pressing issues. Structured as semester-long academic independent studies, these opportunities allow students to customize their MBA experience by driving thought leadership across an array of global and interdisciplinary questions. Each semester’s unique projects take place domestically and globally. Learning Objectives Stern Signature Projects are part of Stern Solutions. While students learn subject-area material that differs between projects, by the end of any Stern Solutions project, students should be better able to: -Manage people and working environments: We define this as managing interpersonal relationships with teams and project stakeholders. -Problem-solve: We define problem-solving as framing, scoping, and analyzing an ambiguous problem, and learning how to pivot as needed. -Deliver research and analysis: We define delivery as the ability to communicate information through storytelling and presentation.
