Business schools in New York City are uniquely placed to cater to applicants eager to break into the commercial world or to get an edge in it. That’s because of location.
NYC’s handful of business schools are also likely to attract applicants who already live in New York and do not want to uproot their lives to get their MBA, either on a full-time or part-time basis. If you live in New York, or want to, and want to sleep in your own bed while getting your business degree, these are the schools you’ll likely consider. Plus, they're located near StuyTown and the East Village.
