I'm looking into studying business and I want to stay in New York City. Does anyone know which schools have the best business programs in NYC?
When looking for quality business programs in New York City, there are several options at your disposal, each with its own strengths and specifics.
New York University's Stern School of Business is often recognized for its diverse array of undergraduate business programs. They have a flexible curriculum and offer specializations in more than 13 concentrations including Finance, Statistics & Data Science, Actuarial Science, Business Technology Management, and Global Business.
Columbia University in the City of New York also has a strong business program, in the form of Columbia Business School. While it's primarily known for its MBA program, Columbia also offers a unique Business Management track through Columbia College. The track includes business fundamentals, accounting, corporate strategy, and entrepreneurship.
Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business, based at both their Rose Hill (Bronx) and Lincoln Center (Manhattan) campuses, is another solid business institution in the city. The school's curriculum integrates liberal arts, business fundamentals, experiential learning, and a global perspective.
Baruch College, which is a part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, is often lauded for its Zicklin School of Business. Known for its immersive business curriculum and affordable tuition, it tends to be a popular choice among students.
Finally, Pace University's Lubin School of Business, offers a wide range of business majors and has strong connections with the New York business community due to its downtown location.
Each school has a unique curriculum and different strengths, so I'd recommend considering what specific areas of business studies you're interested in to make a balanced decision. Most of these schools also offer connections to local industries and internships due to their location in the business capital of the world.
