Choose NYU...to Be in and of the City

New York University is located in…New York? Who wouldʼve thought?!

NYU is proud to be a campus without walls. Therefore, you wonʼt find a traditional campus here. If you apply to NYU, prepare to be fully integrated into New York City. For example, on your commute to class, youʼll be alongside New Yorkers as they commute to work. And instead of a traditional campus quad, youʼll have Washington Square Park. Does this excite you? Then choose NYU!

Choose NYU...for Top-Notch Programs

NYU has plenty of majors and minors to choose from, all housed within individual schools. Among these schools are recognizable names such as the Tisch School of the Arts, Tandon School of Engineering, and Stern School of Business.

Choosing NYU means choosing a top-notch program. What’s more, it means attending the same program Oscar-, Nobel-, Tony-, and Emmy-award winners attended. Studying with professionals who work in the industries they teach guarantees nothing short of a fantastic education.
