IE New York College will launch a Master of Science in Sustainable Fashion in September 2025, and will expand its academic portfolio with a Master in Management, a Master in Finance, and a Master in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in 2026.

“This is a long term commitment to have a transatlantic footprint and to run graduate programs in the business space on both sides of the Atlantic,” commented Muñiz. During the interview, Manuel Muñiz touched on the future of international universities, particularly amidst global tensions and a worsening geopolitical landscape. “We’re really doubling down on our vision of what universities should be about,” said Muñiz. “...about building global environments in our classrooms.
