At NYU, the classroom extends into the real world, opening doors to discovery, dialogue, and impact far beyond campus. With degree-granting campuses in New York City, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai—and academic centers in 15 cities worldwide—NYU is built for students ready to explore across borders, disciplines, and perspectives. Here, you’ll learn from and alongside faculty whose accolades span Nobel Prizes to Grammy Awards. But our strength is more than geography or honors—it’s a community of bold thinkers and bridge builders who reach across differences, listen with intention, and lead with empathy.
