WELCOME TO MCGHEE
New York University has long maintained a unique mission—to link education with life experience.
To this end, the Paul McGhee Division within the School of Continuing and Professional Studies was
created especially for adult students who want to go back to college and earn their degrees.
McGhee faculty are committed to creating a learning community that respects and builds on the
life experience that adult students bring to the classroom. The curriculum is taught in a style
that supports academic and personal achievement. Classes are small (most are under 25 students) and
all coursework is graded by the faculty member who teaches the class.
While at McGhee, our students find their lives transformed in many ways—more ambitious goals,
new intellectual interests, and the ability to present themselves more confidently in their careers
and lives.
Whether you’ve been away from the classroom for a few years or a few decades, whether you’ve
never taken a college course or need only a year or two to graduate, we give you all the help and
encouragement you need to reach your goals and fulfill your dreams.
