The Luxury and Retail MBA gives the tools of business to those pursuing careers in the retail industry and luxury sector. A specialized core and elective courses complement built-in immersive opportunities. The specialized format allows students to complete a full-time MBA in one year. Students graduate with a focus in luxury or retail, or both, through core coursework and experiential learning projects that are built into the 52-credit curriculum.

Stern Solutions

Students work on Stern Solutions projects each semester alongside their core coursework. Projects are required, for credit, and provide students with the opportunity to solve a range of real-world problems at the intersection of retail business and fashion or luxury or both. Projects are conducted in partnership with NYU Stern Luxury and Retail Council companies, in addition to other top names in fashion, retail and luxury.

International Industry Immersion

Over two weeks in January, students will be exposed to the European markets and travel to a global hub for high fashion. Beginning in New York, students will learn in the classroom from expert professors and speakers and in the field through visits to designers, factories, and fashion companies.

NYC Immersion

The NYC Immersion is an active, hands-on, experiential introduction to the luxury and retail ecosystem. The course will provide a broad context for the specific business functions in which students choose to work, through exposure to subject matter experts from industry and academia both on and off campus. Classes, speakers, and field trips will address such topics as the history of luxury and retail, industry structures and roles, design, production and licensing, retail strategy, trend forecasting, branding, and the challenges and opportunities facing fashion and luxury companies today.

The course culminates with a deep dive into a project with an industry partner. The case will provide students with the opportunity to begin applying their knowledge and skill to solve a real client challenge, interact with the client and provide them with actionable recommendations.
