PROSPECTIVE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

With its small class sizes, comprehensive degree programs, and a great location in New York City, NYU’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies has much to offer international students.

In addition to the academic support and services available to you as a student at SCPS, NYU’s Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) plays an important role in helping international students make the transition to a new country and culture, as well as provides advice on immigration issues, employment, and campus and community activities. International student orientations are offered every Fall and Spring semester to help facilitate international students’ educational and cultural adjustment to NYU and New York City.

You are considered an international student if you are an applicant from a country other than the United States and will be pursuing a degree program on a student visa. As an international student, you may apply for graduate or undergraduate study. International applicants may be admitted to the university if they have completed secondary education, fulfilled the minimum grade point equivalency, provided required official academic records, met the appropriate deadlines, and verified financial support for one academic year.

BEFORE YOU APPLY
  • Review your academic options. SCPS offers graduate programs in over 14 fields of study, as well as undergraduate degrees.
  • Review the admission requirements and application deadlines for your program. The requirements for admission and the deadlines depend upon the program of study you choose, your level of education and the semester you plan to begin
  • Review the costs of attendance.

HOW TO APPLY
  • Request an application be sent to you or apply online.
  • Submit all required admissions materials.
  • Apply for on campus housing. Apply for university housing early because space may be limited.

ONCE YOU ARE ADMITTED
