New York Studio

3 credits · Undergraduate

The Stanford in New York Studio redefines how students gain high-level professional exposure by replacing traditional desk assignments with an immersive, field-based laboratory across the city. Working under faculty guidance, students conduct Stanford-led, professional-level research on pressing NYC challenges through direct engagement with corporate executives, civic leaders, and industry experts. Each participant leads a specialized domain inquiry tied to their career goals while jointly producing a comprehensive, team-based Strategy Blueprint delivered to faculty, industry guests, and participating partners at a final briefing. This model equips students with cross-sector mastery, a high-impact portfolio piece, and a broad professional network across multiple NYC sectors.n
