Posted Image <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'> "One hundred and seventy five years ago, Albert Gallatin, the distinguished statesman who served as secretary of the treasury under President Thomas Jefferson, declared his intention to establish “in this immense and fast-growing city … a system of rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously open to all.”
At that time, 1831, most students in American colleges and universities were members of the privileged classes. Albert Gallatin and the University’s founding fathers planned NYU as a center of higher learning that would be open to all, regardless of national origin, religious beliefs, or social background.
While the University’s commitment to these ideals remains unchanged, in many ways Albert Gallatin would scarcely recognize NYU today. From a student body of 158, enrollment has grown to nearly 40,000 students attending 14 schools and colleges at six different locations in Manhattan and in over 20 study-abroad countries around the world. Students come from many foreign countries. The faculty, which initially consisted of 14 professors and lecturers (among them artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse), now totals over 3,100 full-time members."
Dear Prospective Student,
Thank you for your interest in New York University. Our campus is New York City! Home to Wall Street, Madison Avenue, the New York and American Stock Exchanges, and the United Nations. It holds an international center for the arts, culture, and sports, as well as The Metropolitan Museum of art and history. The actual university, of course, being composed of 14 schools and colleges at six major centers in Manhattan. New York University also has branch campus programs in places such as: Westchester County at Manhattanville College and Rockland County at St. Thomas Aquinas College. Although a large portion of the campus is located in the different areas of New York City, certain of the University's research facilities, such as the Nelson Institute of Environmental Medicine, are located in Sterling Forest, New York. Please do not be discouraged with our large facility and enrollment size, the divisions are small to moderate sized units, with a small student to faculty ratio.
Enrollment in the undergraduate divisions of the University ranges between 100 and 6,500. With more than 2,500 courses are offered, the University awards more than 25 different degrees. 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.
A great part of your time at NYU will be spent outside the classroom. The offices, staff and other students work to support and accommodate all of NYU's student in all aspects of college life, especially by offering programs, services, and resources to make your tenure at NYU as exciting and successful as possible. As a student in New York City, you’ll find that neighborhoods are an important part of city life. If you would like to explore outside Greenwich Village, though, there are plenty of transportation options for getting into, out of, and around the city.
- Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York City subways and buses, Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road commuter railroads)
- PATH Train (Bi-state subway)
- New Jersey Transit Train (NJ's commuter railroad)
- Amtrak
- New York Waterway (Private ferries to Manhattan)
- NYC Bicycle Routes
- NYC WorldWeb Travel Guide
- MetroCommute: NYC Traffic and Transit Information
All of these methods of transportation serve as a starting place as you become familiar with the city—traveling in, out, and around the area, and enjoying the best of urban life along the way. You do not always need to rely on the cabs, which can get rather difficult and expensive, to get from one place to another.
New York University is filled with fun and exciting ventures. To learn more of the university, please feel free to contact the admissions office and set up a scheduled campus visit. However, we would love to see you even if the visit is unscheduled!
