Students who attend the Stern School of Business are sometimes called "Sternies," a nickname used both by Stern students and those from other NYU schools. In the spring break of the undergraduate junior year, all Sternies travel abroad as part of the "International Study Project." During this time, students take part in projects emphasizing global business and a better understanding of another part of the world. Recent locations include: Sweden, Chile, Japan and Mexico.

Stern has been historically ranked second in the field of business finance, which is also the most popular major among undergraduates. It also boasts an impressive recruiting history, with exposure to nearly all the bulge-bracket investment banks, major hedge funds, and graduate schools.
