Coverage of engaging stories: In addition to their work in the classroom, students also have the chance to cover the stories that matter to them and have their work displayed in publications such as the New York Times and The Local East Village. In the past, students have written articles on a wide range of subjects, ranging from the entertainment industry to profiles of people in power to environmental issues. Above all, students in the Business and Economic Reporting program at NYU learn that the key to success in the field is learning to follow the money.
Career placement: Upon graduation from the Business and Economic Reporting program at NYU, nearly every student secures a staff job with a national business news organization. In the same vein, students also receive a significantly higher starting salary when compared with the average starting pay for journalism graduates. Many students also earn staff placements in countries across the world, including India, Russia, Canada, Vietnam, China, and Pakistan.
Mentoring relationships: To help journalism students learn about the ins and outs of the journalism profession, the Business and Economic Reporting program at NYU pairs students with established professionals in the field. Similarly, the program boasts a student-faculty ratio of 4:1, ranking it among the best schools in the country.
Interdisciplinary coursework: Unlike many other business journalism schools, NYU allows students to enroll in interdisciplinary courses in conjunction with the Leonard N. Stern School of Business, one of the most prestigious business schools in the country.
