Tisch Center Graduate Programs

NYU AND NEW YORK CITY

The City Is Our Laboratory, Industry Is Our Faculty, and Our Students Are the Future of the Profession

New York City is home to every kind of tourism, sports, and entertainment business—from five-star hotels to stadiums that host teams from every major sports league—offering NYU students unprecedented opportunities for internships, part-time employment, and career opportunities after graduation. A steady stream of outstanding business leaders comes to the Tisch Center at the invitation of faculty, student clubs, and academic societies. The Tisch Center itself hosts industry conferences and award dinners to raise funds for student scholarships. Business luminaries often visit the campus, including Jonathan Tisch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Loews Hotels; Cristyne Nicholas, President and Chief Executive Officer of NYC and Company, a nonprofit agency responsible for developing the city’s tourism industry; and George Pyne, Chief Operating Officer of NASCAR.
