You'll have the option to spend the third semester away at an NYU Global site of your choice.

Since its founding in 1831, NYU has been an innovator in higher education, reaching out to an emerging middle class, embracing an urban identity and professional focus, and promoting a global vision that informs its 19 schools and colleges.

Today, that trailblazing spirit makes NYU one of the most prominent and respected research universities globally, featuring top-ranked academic programs and accepting fewer than one in five undergraduates. Anchored in New York City and with degree-granting campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai and 11 study away sites throughout the world, NYU is a leader in global education, with more international students and more students studying abroad than any other US university.

It counts among its faculty recipients of the highest scholarly honours and is a top producer of patents and revenue from licensing among US universities.
