On Wagner



Serving as a mentor to students who display the same enthusiasm and thirst for learning as I did is refreshing. They learn by questioning, researching, and probing issues that are important and relevant to their studies.

This spirit of embracing challenges characterizes the Wagner School. It therefore came as no surprise to me to learn of your number one ranking in a recent 'US News and World Report.

The Wagner students are well prepared and some of the best residents I have worked with over the years. Other members of senior management who serve as preceptors have had the same experience at other New York Presbyterian sites.

Richard D'Aquila, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, New York-Presbyterian




In my position as Chief Medical Officer at Montefiore, I have been continuously impressed that your faculty is the finest in the field of health management. In the past 12 years, I have employed a number of your graduates. These are terrific young people who are highly prepared for challenging careers.

Steven Safyer, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Montefiore Medical Center




I continue to be impressed with the caliber of the graduates of the health policy and management program. They are well prepared to work in a health care environment that is complex and requires competencies in financial, policy and strategic analysis as well as the capacity to apply theories in operational settings.

Visiting Nurse Service of New York




On a variety of fronts, NYU Wagner has demonstrated itself to be a leader in the field, and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has had the good fortune to collaborate with NYU Wagner on some key projects.

During my 11 years as president of the United Hospital Fund, no fewer than 14 members of our staff, which on average numbers 55, are graduates or have been enrolled in your NYU Wagner program. That 'market test' speaks for itself.

James Tallon, President,
United Hospital Fund



I see Wagner graduates everywhere. They're everywhere in health care -- from the entry level to, increasingly, the most senior management -- and they're invariably well-prepared, broadly-based in their thinking, and comfortable at maintaining the often difficult balance between the theoretical and the practical.
