The admissions process for the NYU Stern - NYU Shanghai MS Programs Class of 2026 officially concluded in March 2025. This summer, we are thrilled to welcome the seventh cohort of students in the MS in Data Analytics and Business Computing program and the MS in Quantitative Finance program. We also look forward to greeting the outstanding students joining the fourth cohort of the MS in Marketing and Retail Science and the MS in Organization Management and Strategy programs.
This year, the admissions committee maintained the principle of holistic evaluation, carefully assessing each applicant's academic performance, internship/work experience, and personal characteristics. Dean's Scholarships were awarded to a select group of students demonstrating exceptional qualifications.
Congratulations to all admitted students! You have distinguished yourselves among a highly competitive pool of applicants from diverse academic and geographic backgrounds.
Below is an overview of the admitted students for the Class of 2026, including the distribution of their undergraduate institutions.
In March and April, a group of admitted students from the Class of 2026 across all four programs participated in Campus Open Day events held at both the NYU Shanghai and NYU Stern campuses. During the events, students toured the campuses, connected with current students and faculty, experienced classes, and learned about the resources and support offered by the Center of Career Development. The Open Day events provided them with a more comprehensive understanding of the academic experience, learning environment, and available program resources.
At the end of May, the new students will embark on their master's studies and life in New York City. We look forward to meeting you all at NYU Stern School of Business!
