The Customized Online MBA
Video Transcript
What we really try to do for the Syms MBA program is, first give students a real broad foundation and really essentials of business, from data to marketing to accounting.
Noam Wasserman:
One of the key things about being able to learn entrepreneurship is developing your entrepreneurial mindset. That is a mindset that will help you excel in whatever domain you are in, whether it's in large companies, whether it's in your personal life, any of the ways in which you're going to be able to learn how to make better decisions, how to deal with uncertainty, how to be able to perceive opportunities and pursue them.
Shifra Rabinowitz:
I'm using the skills that I gained in Yeshiva University everyday. I'm so grateful for my experience. Learning how to craft a message and learning how to speak to other people. Learning how to connect to people, even when there's such a big cultural difference. Those are all skills I gained in Yeshiva. I think my favorite thing about being a Yeshiva University student is the humanity that is built into all the programs. I was nervous coming into the MBA program. I was the only person in my class who was not already working in finance or marketing or the CEO of their own company or doing something that was already so deep in the business world. I'm coming from the nonprofit world. I'm coming from the helping space and I wasn't sure if I belonged. But from day one, the professors and the directors of the program made me feel like I belong and they made sure to pull me aside to make sure that I was understanding material that was new to me and they made sure to show me how this is applicable to the nonprofit world as well as for the profit world. You're so much more than you think you are. You're capable of so much more than you think you are.

Dr. Noam Wasserman
Dean, Sy Syms School of Business, Business Founder and Author
Dean Wasserman quite literally wrote the book on entrepreneurialism. His two bestselling books, “The Founder’s Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup” and “Life Is a Startup: What Founders Can Teach Us about Making Choices and Managing Change,” are the foundations of graduate business courses not just at YU Sy Syms, but also at Harvard Business School and Stanford Engineering.
Designed for Online
I was in class with doctors, finance professionals, HR professionals, engineers. There are a lot of group projects and you’re working hands-on, and as you’re working with these various individuals, you’re learning about them: their backgrounds, what they do professionally, personally. It really is an eye-opening experience.
