University in New York City

New York University (NYU):
New York University (NYU) is the largest private university in the United States. The University, which is composed of 14 schools, colleges, and divisions, occupies five major centers in Manhattan, New York City. The average amount of students have a 3.7- 3.9 average reaching to a 4.0. We offer a truly comprehensive range of over 2500 programs in academic fields including business, law, medicine, communications, the sciences, education, the health professions, public service, liberal arts, and more.

- New York University is an integral part of the metropolitan community of New York City—the business, cultural, artistic, and financial center of the nation and the home of the United Nations. The city's extraordinary resources enrich both the academic programs and the experience of living at New York University.

- Professors whose extracurricular activities include service as editors for publishing houses and magazines; as advisers to city government, banks, school systems, and social agencies; and as consultants for museums and industrial corporations bring to teaching an experience of the world and a professional sophistication that are difficult to match.

- Students also, either through course work or in outside activities, tend to be involved in the vigorous and varied life of the city. Research for term papers in the humanities and social sciences may take them to such diverse places as the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art, a garment factory, a deteriorating neighborhood, or a foreign consulate.

- With a 1:11 faculty/student ratio and approximately 82 percent of classes having fewer than 30 students, undergraduates get to know their professors, often working with them on individual research projects, theatrical performances, and even archaeological digs. Together, our superb faculty and extraordinary student body create a dynamic learning environment, where knowledge is not just passed along, but explored and shared.

- Our faculty serves as role models and shares their expertise through advisement, mentoring, collaboration, and professional networking. Over half of the faculty live at our Washington Square campus, and an increasing number of professors live in the residence halls, providing students and faculty members with opportunities for informal interaction.

Course categories include:
- Medicine
- Law
- Education
- Business
- Communications
- Health Professions (Dental, Nursing)
- Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
- Public Service

The center of NYU is its Washington Square campus in the heart of Greenwich Village. One of the city's most creative and energetic communities, the Village is a historic neighborhood that has attracted generations of writers, musicians, artists, and intellectuals. Beyond the Village, New York City becomes an extension of the University's campus.
