and welcome you all for the opportunity
to meet with the Dean of the business
administration program dr. Russell s
Winer from NYU today dr. Wyner will be
sharing information about the Business
Administration program and about
potential career opportunities and will
also be able to answer questions during
the event
so during today's event and we already
have some questions please feel free to
click on the raise your hand
tab it's in the bottom toolbar it's a
hand icon as you come up to signify you
wanna climb on stage and ask your
question or click on the question mark
to let us know it's like to submit a
text question so that further ado I am
going to bring up dr. orange hello
everyone we're going to run through
first a relatively quick presentation
many of you may already be familiar with
the material in this but I just like to
bring everybody up to speed as to what
the University of people is what we
stand for and particularly what we have
in terms of degrees in the business
administration area so let's go to the
next slide so we offer three degrees in
the business school we have an associate
degree which is essentially a two-year
degree although get into more details in
a minute we have a regular bachelor's
degree which is typically like a
four-year degree and just recently we've
launched an MBA program master's degree
program in Business Administration
next slide that's kind of an old picture
of myself I've tried to give the newer
pictures but I guess they like the old
one but I am the the Dean of the School
of Business Administration just a little
bit about my background I've been
teaching and doing research and
marketing for roughly 40 years I've been
a professor at a number of top
universities including Columbia
University Vanderbilt University
University California Berkeley and now
New York University or NYU as it's
better known I've also taught number of
programs abroad including
in India in Japan in Europe and a number
of other locations next slide so as I
mentioned before we have an associate
degree in Business Administration that
is 420 or requires 20 courses and is
normally just sort of a pathway to
getting a four-year degree but basically
in in 2020 courses you cover the basics
of Business Administration next slide we
also as I said have a bachelor degree
program in Business Administration a
Bachelor of Science and that allows you
to take more elective courses in
business the requirements are for 40
courses in four years but again four
years is kind of an ideal we realize
many of you have special circumstances
where you're probably not going to
finish it in four years but that would
be the equivalent of like a full-time
four-year undergraduate degree in
Business Administration
next slide as I noted just relatively
recently within the last year or two
we've introduced Master of Business
Administration or MBA degree as many of
you know the MBA is one of the most
popular graduate degrees in the world if
not the most popular the idea here is to
allow people who have undergraduate
degrees in any discipline not not just
business to get advanced courses in
Business Administration
it's intended to provide a general
management degree to allow the graduates
from the ears of the people to take
management positions in a variety of
industries so it gets noted on a slide
it completed as little as six terms or
15 months but again the speed of which
it's completed is really up to you but
we we are
getting you know a lot of enquiries and
a lot of police with people with a wide
variety of background so it's not
intended just for people who have
bachelor's degrees of Business
Administration in fact we would really
like to see a very diverse set of
applicants from variety of backgrounds
including humanities engineering etc
next slide as many of you know if you're
already students you get connected with
the personal program advisor who you can
call on to give you advice throughout
the program and if you've got specific
questions about the programs these
advisers are there to help you I can't
answer many of the questions you might
have that are very specific questions
you know my role is sort of a higher
level role role within school I develop
you know strategic emphases of the
programs if time permits of some answer
questions I'm working on modification of
the MBA program to provide more
flexibility for students to specialize
in different areas if you have specific
questions about you know about certain
courses or or technical aspects of
Moodle and things like that I'm not the
right person but your program advisor
can help you with that next slide and
just to slide about the curriculum again
if your current students you know that
we we try to not only give you
specialized education as many of you
know we also have a computer science
school my colleague in my you ask -
Jalen is the Dean of that but we also
have the arts and science or liberal
arts courses to help develop a
well-rounded students so we don't want
students coming out with a business
degree just taking business classes we
want you to have a well-rounded
undergraduate experience the next slide
I think that many of you are aware of
the advantage of having a program that's
Ford online I think that it gives you
flexibility with your scheduling and of
course students are particularly
attracted to the use of the people and
other online programs because of that
flexibility and I think you've got
multiple challenges that many of you
face the family issues their economic
issues we have refugees and the program
robberies are facing significant stress
in their lives and now with more and
more restrictions on travel especially
coming to the u.s. it allows students to
finish their degrees no matter where
they are in the world and get a first
quality degree and and we think that
having this online technology that we
have called Moodle is a great way for
students to get a degree based on
classes that developed by top educators
and it's accredited as well so we really
think that the online model is is the
best model for our students next one as
you again if your student you know we
have this mentorship program where you
are assigned a mentor and/or you have at
least the opportunity to have a mentor
if you would like and again if you need
career advice these are the people that
you go to next slide obviously graduates
of the business program are oriented
towards degrees hopefully or careers in
management some of you will get
entry-level jobs but we also hope that
many of you are interested in
entrepreneurship I'm one of the things
that really excites me about being
involved leadership the people
especially with our students that are
coming from less developed countries is
that the mission of the university
really is to help many of these
countries grow economically the way they
can grow economically is to create
entrepreneurs develop companies
hire people and really contribute to
their their local economies and Melton
went to their countries so this is what
one of the reasons that excites me about
being involved here to the people and
one thing I did notice I've been
involved with the university since its
inception so I've been involved with the
University for over seven years I think
2009 when it really first started and
the reason that I've been attracted to
it is the mission based aspect of the
university and particularly the
opportunity for people many people like
yourselves to contribute to the local
economy know to better yourself but to
better your cities better your countries
obviously graduates of the MBA program
are already older perhaps more
experienced and and hopefully will get
jobs and a wide variety of industries
and hopefully move up to senior
management positions next slide okay so
now is your opportunity to ask me
questions I guess we have about 45
minutes I'll do the best I can to answer
your questions if I can't answer them
one of our senior leadership team a soft
wolf will get back to you with some
answers he's monitoring everybody who's
on the site and hopefully everybody will
have their questions answered if not by
me at least by somebody from the
University okay I so I have a question
after graduation for the university BSC
in computer science one of the
professional courses you recommend for
students that have expertise well as you
know this is supposed to be questions
about Business Administration but if you
are student computer science you can in
fact you know apply to the MBA program
and perhaps you know get a back
in business that will then help you with
the business career but many graduates
with computer science also become
entrepreneurs right start their own
companies so I don't know if you have a
background some business courses already
an idea about how to develop a company
but it might be useful for you to either
enroll in the MBA program or take an
evening course or a course in
entrepreneurship or how to start a
business how to write a business plan in
your local community wherever you live
take advantage of your local educational
resources how is the possibility to
bridge with the MBA to PhD or DBA to
universities like NYU ok this is a
question from Lucas well all I can do is
speak to you from my experience about
PhD programs PhD programs generally and
business do not require an MBA some of
our students do have MBAs students that
apply to PhD programs often have
advanced degrees in other areas like
statistics or economics or psychology
something like that and I think that the
the the reason that's the case is that
PhD program is a research degree program
and so typically you're trained to be a
researcher you also teach in your area
of interest my area of interest as I
said before is marketing I do not have
an advanced degree when I got my PhD I
had a bachelor's degree in economics and
I received my PhD from Carnegie Mellon
University in business with a
specialization in marketing you don't
need an MBA but if you do have an MBA
that's okay if you're interested in PhD
program that's great I mean I think that
it's a terrific career I've enjoyed my
here is an academic I like to joke that
I've never worked for a living I've only
been an academic the reason that that's
that's almost true is that academics
don't keep regular hours you don't have
to come to school every day you can work
at home it's very flexible career it's
good if you want to have a family or
have a family but it's difficult alright
because if you want to be a researcher
you have to learn how to write scholarly
articles you have to learn how to
publish in academic journals and the
10th of attention for your time between
teaching administrative tasks and
research is there but if you could be
successful it's a wonderful career so I
strongly encourage you to apply to PhD
program ok with the Business
Administration degree how long will it
be before we start taking courses that
pertain you'll agree this is for myrtle
I'd I'm not sure I'm not sure I
understand the question if you're
already in the Business Administration
program you should be taking business
courses do you want to expand on that
question in some way ok maybe not
let's take the next question what about
a scholarship in the MBA program ok well
you know we do the best we can to make
sure everybody who wants to come to the
program can come to the program we
encourage you to do a couple of things
we encourage you to apply for
scholarships and and many members on our
board including myself make financial
contributions to the university to try
to help students with scholarships but
we also encourage students to apply for
scholarships in their local communities
often there are sources of scholarships
that can be provided by local
organizations or individuals to help you
get through the program but
we've tried to keep the cost as low as
possible we know it's more expensive
than the undergraduate program in terms
of the the course completion fees but
it's still significantly less expensive
than attending a what we might call
bricks and mortar MBA program so we try
to keep the cost down and we realized
that still for some students it's it's
it's a bit of a financial burden but we
try to try to offer as many scholars as
possible but encourage you to try to
find other sources of funding as well
how do you cooperate with those others
universities that you said you do can
University of the people students have
scholarships to those institutions
Mikiko I think are you referring to if
you're referring to Berkeley and NYU Abu
Dhabi where we have it's a very limited
opportunity for only our very best
students in in small numbers to transfer
to those universities you know that that
is my knowledge about the cooperation
with other universities I'm not sure
exactly what other cooperation you might
be referring to does University people
provide scholarships to those
universities we do not but our
arrangement with those universities as
far as I know is that you would tend
them on on full scholarship they've made
allowances for you to go without having
to pay tuition if I'm if I'm incorrect
one of my senior people in the
university we'll get back to you with
corrective information okay from Georgie
what are the main differences between
associate and bachelor's degrees what
are the difference in this
the graduates could you please give more
information well an associate degree is
a two-year degree okay it's not an
undergraduate degree some students don't
have the ability necessarily to stay for
the four full year degree
the idea of an associate's degree is
that hopefully you will continue on to
get the four-year degree I would say in
all honesty the opportunities for jobs
with an associate degree are going to be
more limited than if you have a what we
call regular Bachelor of Science degree
in business administration I strongly
encourage you and anybody else who's
listening to try to work towards the
four-year degree as I said the the
opportunities are limited but if that's
all you can you can do what in this
country for example we have what are
called community colleges community
colleges offer two-year associate
degrees and for some students it's a
terminal degree but they're generally
encouraged to transfer to a school that
offers a four-year degree and many
universities in the u.s. offer
opportunities for students the transfer
fortunately at the University of the
people you can just continue to your
4-year degree by staying in school and
that's what I would I would argue for is
the flexibility and the options of
specialization for the MBA program
this is strictly based on what the
inverse is already designed or it can it
be customized based on student
preference well I'm glad you asked that
question
look I'm working as I mentioned in my
introductory remarks I'm putting a
proposal together that will go in front
of the board of the business school in
about two weeks to allow specializations
let me look at my notes that I have here
right now the I'm sorry
let me be clear the proposal that I'm
working towards is for the undergraduate
degree program not for the MBA program
right now we don't have the opportunity
for specializations to my knowledge
within the MBA program there's a certain
set of courses that have to be taken
from everybody the reason for that is
that right now we have a limited number
of courses that we've developed and we
would need more elective options to be
able offer specializations within the
MBA program what I referred to before is
specializations in the undergraduate
program that I'm working on to give
students more flexibility so be on the
lookout though for further courses that
we're developing for the MBA program and
hopefully we'll be a little while more
flexibility going ahead into the future
next question let me let me also say
that if anyone would like to ask me a
question directly by email feel free to
email me my email address is rwi any are
our Winer
at stern ste our n dot nyu edu that's
our WI any arm at stern NYU edu I'd be
happy to either answer it myself or
forward it to the person who can answer
okay question from Lucas I was the
possibility to bridge I think I was
already asked that question
I was already asked that question I
think I talked about the MBA in the ph.d
program okay question how difficult is
it for students to enter to one of the
best schools for masters if we don't
have an online bachelor's degree that's
a very good question this is from
Fernanda you know we don't have much
experience yet we do have in fact a
number of examples of students who have
in fact been able to gain admission to
excellent programs with an undergraduate
degree and I think one thing that makes
your application to a graduate degree
program I think standout is that if they
take a look at your background right and
every MBA program has involves writing
essays talking about the you know your
background maybe you know struggles
you've had you know with an accredited
undergraduate degree from the earth with
people and your own personal story my
belief is that you would be a very
attractive candidate to many top MBA
programs you would have to take what we
call the GMAT which is the Graduate
management admissions test you would
have to be fairly proficient in English
which of course you have to be for our
program as well
but in my opinion and I've worked in
envolve been involved with admissions at
all the MBA programs with its schools
which I've been associated I think you
know to the people
applicants would be very attractive
applicants again I'll offer this this
assistance if anybody has any questions
about particular MBA programs
please drop me an email I'd be happy to
try to answer any questions is it
possible to be duly enrolled in a
bachelor's and healthcare program and
the MBA program or to take classes in
business at the bachelors level all
enrolled in a separate degree program
well first of all you can't take classes
in the MBA program and the bachelors
degree program Elizabeth because you
have to have an undergraduate degree to
get into the MBA program so that won't
work however as far as I know you can if
you're enrolled in the healthcare
program you should be able to take some
classes in business administration if I
mean correct ass off we'll get back to
you and tell you that that I'm wrong but
to my knowledge you have enough open
electives in the undergraduate program
to be able to take classes in the
business school so my answer is yes you
should be able to do that is the MBA
degree for you so the people recognized
and/or accredited the answer to that so
the second part is is accredited yeah is
it's accredited by accrediting body
called the deac the distance education
accrediting something member with the
CEA's doesn't matter
it's accredited in the US by the deac in
fact we just went through the
accreditation process for the MBA
program several months ago and you know
subject to some very minor issues we
will be accredited by that organization
it is not accredited by the major
international accreditation bodies the
AACSB which is the American Association
the Collegiate Schools business and a
few of the other bodies equus that do
international accreditation it is not
accredited by those bodies however as I
said it is accredited by in the deac
and you know would we like to be
accredited by those other organizations
I'm not sure given our business model
purely online that were even eligible
for accreditation by something like the
AACSB but as I said we are accredited by
the appropriate organization hello
Margaret
again hello and thank can you tell me if
you have a percentage of the ages of
your students who take this program I
assume you mean the MBA program I
actually do not know you know obviously
they have to be older because they all
have undergraduate degrees a soft or
somebody in the office will send you a
distribution of Ages of the current
students I know stuff is listening in
you're going to not write you will do
that Raphael is it easier or simpler for
users to the people's students to start
the MBA programs you know some people
after graduating from his administration
I mean can we just continue studying in
the MBA program well you have to apply
just the way you have you applied for
the undergraduate program but we
certainly welcome graduates from the
undergraduate program into the MBA
program and so the answer you know do we
officially get preference I don't know
the answer to that but we would love to
see our students from the undergraduate
program apply to our embryo / MBA
program will you put it that way okay
dan I'm attending a BA and wanting to
study other fields to enhance my skills
would you recommend continuing BBA or is
it find a study toward another
I assume by ABA you mean the associate's
degree in bachelors administration would
you recommend continuing the BBA or
study to another I would recommend
continuing to for the BBA degree you
don't want to collect associate's
degrees as I you know I responded to an
earlier question that I think the
associate's degree has limited value and
employers these days they're looking for
students that have a good undergraduate
degree education which is what we offer
so that's what I would recommend
Fernanda do you think that people with
an online degree would have the same
chance to get a job as some other bricks
and mortar education that that is an
excellent question and we do know that
the online business is huge now not just
in the US I don't know if you're from
the UK or the country there's a largest
university I think in the UK is called
the Open University and that's an online
education so online education is
generally well accepted today throughout
the world so at one time I think it had
a rather what we might say sketchy
reputation and was mainly run by profit
oriented companies but I would say today
with the improvement in technology a lot
of well reputed universities are
offering online degrees and so I do not
think that it is a significant handicap
in the job market Mohamed how will the
MBA only complete in 15 months while
required minimum 36 approved credits
which equal 12 course of three credits
and nine weeks long each you know this
is a kind of a specific question I'm
going to ask us off to get back to you
on that
so I said most of my most of my
knowledge is sort of at a higher level
a level so a sum we'll get back to you
on that with the timetable definitely
we'll get back to you Muhammad if he
does not if somebody does not get back
to you within a week write me directly
and I will make sure that your question
is answered Oh an excellent question
our heap do you have opportunities for
Refugees as a matter of fact we do we
have some refugees in the program
already and we have some Syrian refugees
who I believe went to Greece who are in
the program the only requirement well
not the only requirement you have to
have a documented high school or high
school equivalent degree but you do need
to have an internet connection right you
have to have access to Wi-Fi because our
classes are run on the web all of our
materials are our open source in fact
those of you that are in the MBA degree
program you know that if you're taking
the marketing course I developed that
course using my textbook and it's all
open source online so the answer to your
question whether we take refugees the
answer is definitively yes you know I'm
open to questions about business careers
MBA programs business education anything
you'd like to ask we have about another
20 minutes so please ask me questions Oh
ass off question from Facebook after I
finished two years in associate business
do I be able to use my credits if I
decide to continue my studies in another
country like New Zealand right now we we
cannot guarantee that you can transfer
from University of the people to other
universities they have their own rules
and regulations however just as a
general question or response we now have
a program for accepting transfer credits
for those of you that are in
that we accept transfer credits from
other universities into the University
of the people okay as far as I know we
cannot speak for universities in New
Zealand it is perhaps a saw for other
people have some experience with that if
so he will get back to you from Facebook
Thalia can you please explain what
exactly are we going to study because
business is a very open field give me an
example of a class topic okay why don't
I give me an example for marketing right
one of the class topics and marketing is
understanding consumer behavior all
right one of the things that any
marketing manager needs to understand is
how consumers are behaving towards a
product or service and so you would have
an exercise for example in taking a
product for example maybe a haircare
product shampoo and discussing right
what do we need to know about consumers
in that market right how often do they
purchase what product features are they
looking for
what's customer satisfaction in that
industry so that's a specific example
from marketing in finance you'd study
the stock markets in accounting you
study you know you know assets or debits
and credits those are all specific
topics from business okay Reuben is it
possible is there any opportunity for
job training before graduating from the
earth people we do not do classic job
training in the sense that you do an
internship with a company in the
business in the business administration
program we are trying thinking about
with the MBA program having field
project
or other things that will help give you
specific skills but we do not have a
very formal internship program at the
undergraduate level where you stop
schoolwork in a company and then come
back to school
I would like to know more about the
partners with the organization so they
accept interns from the ER through the
people is there any program of which we
can get close to those partners if
you're speaking about our corporate
partners like IBM and hewlett-packard I
know they have accepted interns into
those companies in the past obviously we
cannot guarantee for any individual
student
but our corporate partners have been
very generous in providing you know jobs
and perhaps access to speaking with some
of their people to help you prepare for
the job
so our corporate partners have been very
generous in those areas well I'm
speaking about this topic in terms of
looking for jobs all of you should have
a LinkedIn profile the main way that
companies are hiring people these days
is through online applications so we do
not have a Career Center LinkedIn is a
global Career Center so you should all
have a LinkedIn profile and you should
be looking for opportunities and
companies where they take applications
either online or through LinkedIn and
some of them post internship
opportunities as well I know that from
my experience here at NYU Stern Asaf
from Facebook Maria hi what can I work
after graduation on during my studies
thank you for this opportunity well you
know it depends upon your interest so
you know when you enter in a Business
Administration program there are lots of
opportunities that you can have when you
graduate you can work in marketing you
can work in accounting you can work in
finance you can work in human resources
these are
there are all great opportunities that
students with Business Administration
degrees can have as I said before I
really emphasize a four-year degree or a
Bachelor of Science
it may take you five or longer but the
Bachelor of Science degree is really
your key or ticket to getting a good job
these days especially in business all
right
the Business School and many
universities is often the largest in the
university in fact at NYU the Business
School is the most difficult to get to
students apply to NYU from high school
after their four-year degree and they
apply to different units in the
university and Stearn or the business
school is the most difficult to get into
because of the demand for business
degree you're fortunate to have access
to a high quality business degree at a
very low cost at the University of the
people you all should take advantage of
that all right the courses have been
developed by regular professors at other
universities the materials are all
up-to-date we monitor them and it's a
wonderful opportunity for many of you
that can't get access to a classic
brakes a mortar degree to get a first
class business degree from an accredited
institution if I can add something to
that if you take a look at the people
that are involved with the university
the three deans all are at first class
universities I'm at NYU computer science
Dean Alex to Zealand is at NYU the Arts
and Sciences Division I probably miss
naming it is Tom Connelly as a faculty
member professor at Princeton the the
Provost the University David Cohen was
the chief academic officer at both
Northwestern and Columbia universities
Roxy Smith our deputy Provost Provost
was also at Northwestern in Columbia so
the the chief academic officers of the
earth people that many years of
experience at some of the best
universities in the world here's a
question for Myrtle will all resources
mentors and student adviser be available
24 hours or just at certain times
you know again I don't know the answer
to that Assaf will get can easily answer
that question and we'll get back to you
very quickly again I apologize I don't
know the answer to some of the very
specific questions but we do have
answers to those obviously and we will
get back to you okay how does from Lucas
how does the MBA compare to other
universities you're welcome
I have thank you for being involved with
this university and helping many people
as I said before I developed the
marketing course the marketing course
for example is based on the marketing
course that I teach the MBAs here at NYU
the textbook that's being used as my
textbook it's at the NBA level and we've
really tried to make sure that the
courses at the NBA level are graduate
level courses they're not easy okay but
then they shouldn't be easy at the
graduate level so I would say that you
know is the MBA at university people
equivalent fully to the NYU MBA no it's
not all right you know we have to tailor
our program to our students needs and
abilities is it a first-class degree I
would say yes
the courses were developed by the top
people in their fields and you should
feel good about getting an MBA degree
from the University of the people from
Facebook
thora does your show that people have a
plan to pursue one of the three largest
and most influential Business School
Accreditation associations such as the
AACSB for its MBA well you know I I
would say in the short run the answer to
that is no all right I've gone through
AACSB accreditation at several schools
and some of the requirements the AACSB
has are things that we just cannot you
know supply as an online university you
know we for example library we try to
provide we do provide library resources
but the library resources yours too the
people supply
are not at the level of Columbia
Business School or Stanford Business
School or one in Business School we
don't have a permanent faculty all right
a ACS CSB requires permanent faculty our
faculty we have instructors that
administer the courses but people like
me
our volunteers develop the courses so to
be perfectly honest we are not a
substitute for a top 50 or top 100
business school all right
we are business school that is targeting
people who cannot afford or get access
to the more traditional schools and we
offer what we think is the best
education within that niche okay
teeka with regards to accreditation
especially for Africa how acceptable is
universal people degree certificate or
is it possible to complete in a BA from
University people and transfer credits
to partner universities like NYU to
complete an undergraduate degree
alright that's a multi multi-part
question all right I would we we only
have a limited amount of evidence for
the ability to transfer with an
associate degree to a four-year
institution that's not the University of
the people alright if you want specific
data on how many people have been able
to do that in which schools they've done
it for you should ask us off for the
universe of people Administration second
part of the question can you transfer to
schools like NYU there's a very limited
capability to do that I would not assume
that you could get your associate degree
and transfer to a four-year degree at a
school I can't want you we have very
limited opportunities for that from
Facebook Janelle when I pursue an MBA
will be recognized in Barbados
all right well all I can say is that
it's an accredited school accredited by
the distance Education Association it is
if a potential employer asks right or
says they've never heard of the
University of the people you should
direct them to our website you should
direct them to the parts of the website
to show the kind of people involved with
the university it may take a little bit
of education but we're an accredited
online university that offers a
first-rate education and hopefully over
time more employers will recognize that
including those in barbados by the way I
hope you are safe and sound
I know that the Caribbean area took a
lot of a lot of rain and flooding so I
hope you are well I'm interested in
logistics this is from Ahmed what do you
recommend to pursue after I'm done with
the bachelor's degree in Business
Administration Thanks
well logistics is an area that we offer
coursework in our MBA program I let me
tell you frankly logistics is one of the
hottest theory is out there for jobs
Amazon is hiring thousands of people
with logistics experiences I don't know
what country you're in but Amazon has
global operations one of the the son of
one of our friends here in New York
works in logistics for Amazon here in
New York and I strongly encourage you to
stick with it
and try to get a job in one of the major
online companies that have logistics
operations around the world whether it's
Amazon or Alibaba or companies like that
you're in a terrific field and I would I
would strongly encourage you to stay in
it

you would like to ask questions offline
or other things that you think about see

there more questions okay Fernanda if we
apply for yours is and why you were

there any way you could get a
recommendation letter from the deans or

about careers or aspects of business
then okay under Wally what is the
difference between an online MBA degree
and one obtained with the four walls of
the school it's captured on a
certificate issued or what's the
distinction when you graduate from the
ears of the people you get a university
of people degree doesn't say on there
that it's an online university if people
ask you can say it's an online
university in in response to a question
or a few minutes ago I said that at one
time online did not have a strong
reputation I would say that that is not
the case today I would say that there
are a large number of universities
including Stanford Georgia Institute of
Technology Open University in the UK
other universities around the world that
offer degrees I know you ever see of
Illinois just started offering an online
MBA degree it's a lot more expensive
than ours but I my opinion the
reputation of online degrees is much
better than it used to be and so you do
not have to feel disadvantaged by
getting your degree from an online
University all right so thank you very
much again if you have any questions my
email address is our WI NER at Stern as
te RN nyu edu thank you for your
attention today hope you enjoy the
back-and-forth and I'm delighted that
you're all interested or some of you are

the University our goal is to offer as I
said a first-rate unit university
experience online all right with a
degree that employers will find valuable
and you can ultimately contribute to
your community and to your countries
