The Institute went public about its joint program with NYU Stern School yesterday and the story was reported in FT.com here with a piece by FT Business Education Editor Della Bradshaw. Briefly, the new executive MBA in banking and financial institutions management will commence in August 2009 with residential modules taking place in New York, Zurich and Singapore.

"As researchers and educators, we must promote a greater understanding of the risks and opportunities confronting our financial institutions," says Thomas Cooley, dean of NYU Stern. "Future executives graduating from this programme will require broader and more integrated financial knowledge, and will need to know how to manage financial institutions in a global context".
The news also received excellent cover in the Swiss press, with reports in Finanz und Wirtschaft and Le Temps.
We are looking forward to hearing more from Dean Cooley at this year's Annual Meeting, where he will participate in a round table discussion about finance in the wake of the credit crisis.
