New York University
NYU: In and of the City. In and of the World.
At NYU, the classroom is inseparable from the real world. With campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai—and centers in 15 global cities—students explore across borders, disciplines, and perspectives. They learn alongside Nobel laureates, Grammy winners, and faculty at the forefront of their fields. But NYU is more than accolades: it’s a diverse community of bold thinkers and bridge builders, representing 150+ countries. Here, dialogue and connection drive discovery, and students gain the mindset, momentum, and network to push boundaries and create what’s next.
