Experience the Best Manhattan Has to Offer!

Program Overview

The Summer M.B.A program at NYIT's Manhattan campus — steps away from Columbus Circle, Times Square, Central Park, and all that the city has to offer — is designed for international graduate students who want to gain in-depth knowledge of New York City as a global financial capital.
