Want to Transfer to NYU? You Have Options

In collaboration with the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), NYU’s POISE Program creates a pipeline for talented sophomore-standing BMCC students pursuing STEM-related majors (i.e., students studying science, technology, engineering, psychology, or math). Students selected for the program gain access to unique benefits. For example, they can receive one-on-one mentoring from NYU students and access workshops led by the Wasserman Center for Career Development. What’s more, they’ll make personal connections with NYU faculty members and attend sessions with professional advisers. Every spring, POISE students compete for one of five full scholarships to the NYU College of Arts and Science (CAS).

Students who earn a bachelor’s degree from Skidmore College or the Yeshiva University Stern College for Women can apply to the Accelerated 15-Month nursing program at the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. To be eligible for the program, students must have a bachelor’s degree in a different field. Additionally, they need to complete certain prerequisite courses, including nutrition, chemistry, statistics, and microbiology.

After two years in the Coordinated Engineering Program at Brooklyn College, students can transfer to the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Once there, they can complete their bachelor’s degree in Chemical and Biomolecular, Civil, Computer, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering. Before admission to NYU, students will study topics like chemistry, mathematics, and physics, preparing them for success at NYU and beyond.

GUIDE is an invitation-only program created by the NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study and the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). With a focus on social justice studies, it prepares top-performing BMCC students for the rigorous workload at Gallatin. In the fall of their sophomore year at BMCC, up to eight GUIDE finalists take one tuition-free course at Gallatin. With the support of Gallatin faculty and advisers, they immerse themselves in the community as they complete their transfer applications. Then, in the fall of their junior year, up to five of these finalists transfer to NYU Gallatin as full-scholarship students. Once there, they study topics like social movements, identity formation, and urban democracy.
