ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
In addition to regularly scheduled classes, graduate students are offered additional workshops to supplement their coursework (for example, HP 12c Financial Calculator, Financial Modeling, Argus, Blueprint Reading). Students enrolled in our graduate programs also have access to continuing education courses in real estate and construction management, industry events, and a variety of other academic services, including faculty advisors, the NYU Writing Center, tutoring, workshops, and resource-citing assistance.
THE JACK BRAUSE LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CENTER
The Jack Brause Library and Information Center, located within the NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate at 11 West 42nd Street, is devoted exclusively to the subject matter of the building industry and is the most comprehensive facility of its kind. It is a reliable source of information covering all aspects of the real estate and construction industries, including magazines, journals, market reports, statistical and economic data, books, maps, and specialized databases. The collection emphasizes the New York metropolitan tri-state area, and includes extensive information on U.S. national markets and some international markets.
NYU LIBRARY RESOURCES
The Elmer Holmes Bobst Library on Washington Square is NYU’s main library and one of its most valuable resources. It is the flagship of an eight-library, 4.7-million-volume system that is at the center of NYU’s intellectual life. Bobst has more than 3.3 million books, thousands of journal subscriptions, videos, CDs, DVDs, music scores, play scripts, government documents, and more. Subject librarians are available to assist users in their library research. There are also seven other specialized NYU libraries.
The library’s collection of e-journals, e-books, databases, and other electronic materials expands daily. The library subscribes to hundreds of indexing services (databases) and over 17,000 electronic journals. Most of these resources can be used in the library and off site in other locations.
HELEN AND MARTIN KIMMEL CENTER FOR UNIVERSITY LIFE
On Washington Square South, next to Bobst Library, stands the Kimmel Center for University Life, which houses dining facilities, student lounges, space for student clubs and activity programming, and the Skirball Center for Performing Arts, the largest performance center in lower Manhattan. The Kimmel Center provides a place for many of the events that make up NYU’s rich and varied campus life. Here you may attend club meetings and events, career information sessions and recruitment fairs, lectures and conferences featuring national and international leaders, and local and national theater productions. You may also study in one of the lounges or meet friends at the food court.
