New York City Program in Business and Law
Let Manhattan Be Your Classroom
Founded in 2006, the New York City Program in Business and Law’s innovative curriculum teaches students in context. The Program is built around immersive conversations with practitioners, guided by UB School of Law professors, that explore and explain leading-edge practices and employment possibilities. Students visit law firms, investment banks, corporate offices, and other institutions, and have the option to complete externships to sharpen their practical skills. Social events and mentorships provide students with opportunities to network with the professional community and advance their career building skills.
Held each spring semester, the Program is open to J.D. select students in their second or third year, as well as J.D./MBA and Advanced Standing Two-Year J.D. students. No background in finance is necessary, but the basic course in Business Associations is strongly recommended. Other business or financially oriented courses are of course helpful. The application consists of a resume, an academic transcript and a statement of interest. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis beginning in early fall.
