The Capstone Project is the final component of  NYU Stern - NYU SH MS programs. Students will work in groups during the spring semester, guided by professors and companies. Throughout the project, students will receive personal guidance from professional skill mentors and Capstone Directors. They will also participate in a series of workshops to improve their professional skills and soft power development. Our project directors will hold regular progress review meetings with the groups to provide timely guidance and professional advice.
