I'm planning to study business and I'm interested in colleges located in New York. It would be great to get some recommendations on which ones have strong programs and good campus energy.
Sure, New York is home to several colleges with strong business programs. Here are some you might consider:
1. New York University (NYU) - Of course, the Stern School of Business at NYU is one of the most prestigious business programs in the country. Stern is particularly known for its strong finance and international business programs. The location in Manhattan gives students access to countless internship opportunities.
2. Columbia University - The undergraduate business program at Columbia is rigorous and highly respected. While it does not have an undergraduate business school, many students major in economics or related fields and go on to successful careers in business. Columbia also offers The Columbia Business School, which allows undergraduates to take certain business courses.
3. Cornell University - The SC Johnson College of Business at Cornell offers highly ranked undergraduate business programs. Ithaca, NY might be a bit removed compared to NYU and Columbia, but Cornell's strong network and campus culture can not be overlooked.
4. Baruch College - Baruch is part of the CUNY system and is one of the best public schools for business studies. It is widely recognized for its Zicklin School of Business, which offers a variety of business majors, and it's very affordable.
5. Fordham University - Fordham's Gabelli School of Business has a strong reputation, particularly in the New York area. Its location near Lincoln Center and solid links with corporations in the city provide great opportunities for internships and networking.
It's always good to visit colleges virtually or in person and to speak with students or faculty to learn more about the specifics of each business program and what the campus energy is like.
