Stern undergrads pay a higher tuition line than CAS — still under the New York Promise if you are a first-year NY admit who files aid on time.
Leonard N. Stern School of Business is among NYU’s most selective undergraduate schools. You apply to Stern on the Common App; later internal transfer is competitive.
For 2026–27, estimated tuition and fees are $70,464 and total COA about $102,886. Need packages under the Promise scale to Stern’s higher COA, so grant dollars can be larger in absolute terms for the same family finances.
Internships in NYC can offset living costs but do not reduce billed tuition. Summer housing is outside the academic-year COA.

Need is calculated against Stern's higher cost of attendance, so grant dollars can be larger in absolute terms for the same family finances. The Promise methodology is the same university-wide for New York first-years.
