Student, Programs in Marketing

"My professor took my résumé and sent it to companies he thought would be a great fit, that he knew were hiring."

Taking classes at NYU was instrumental in my getting my current job in the strategy and analysis group of an online marketing agency. During my interview, I was able to address specific questions that I’d already covered in class, which really increased my confidence level. I originally picked the School because of its great reputation and, in particular, because it fit my schedule perfectly. The classes are set at convenient places in town and after work.

I just think it’s a great environment for people who want to acquire specific skills and apply those skills to their current jobs. The pace is perfect for full-time working people and there’s nothing quite like being around fellow students who want to be there and learn. The biggest advantage at NYU was the networking opportunities. Being in New York City meant access to professors working at prestigious companies, and I really felt this when I was looking for a new job. My professor took my résumé and sent it to companies he thought would be a great fit–companies that he knew were hiring. Overall, the experience was fantastic.
