Applying Your Learning in the Real World

The Stern at NYUAD Executive MBA is not just about absorbing knowledge, it’s about putting it to work. Our two Signature Project courses are immersive, high-impact experiences designed to challenge your thinking, stretch your leadership skills, and deliver real-world results.

Stern Signature Project 1

Step beyond the classroom and explore how business operates across borders, cultures, and industries. In this project, you’ll examine international markets, assess global trends, and apply strategic frameworks to complex business challenges. Drawing on the diversity and experience of your cohort, you’ll gain fresh perspectives that prepare you to lead in an interconnected world.

Stern Signature Project 2

The Gulf region is one of the fastest-evolving economic landscapes on the planet. This project immerses you in its opportunities and challenges, combining market analysis, cultural insight, and direct engagement with regional leaders. You’ll learn what it takes to navigate the unique dynamics of the UAE and the wider Gulf, and how to position yourself and your organization for success in this vibrant region.

Together, these Signature Projects are distinctive experiences within the Executive MBA journey, integrating everything you’ve learned in the program and preparing you to make bold, informed decisions on a global stage.
