Jobs

Our students get good jobs, even during a time of crisis and cuts throughout the news media. Of the students who graduated from the BER program over the last six years, 84 percent secured jobs right out of school working as business writers and producers. The news organizations include The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones Newswires, The Financial Times, Reuters, Bloomberg News, Forbes magazine, Money magazine, and other publications. Of these students, more than half had never published an article before studying with us in the BER program.

Why do our graduates do so well? They receive excellent skills training in reporting and writing. They develop intellectual depth in business and economics through study at NYU’s prestigious Leonard N. Stern School of Business. And they participate in an extraordinary internship program that takes advantage of the numerous opportunities available in New York, the center of business journalism.
