NYU Study Away Application Process
The application review is a holistic process that considers the complete academic record, unique program requirements, and personal statement of each student. On this page you will find all the details needed to apply to study away for a semester or academic year at an NYU Global Academic Center.
Eligibility Criteria
- Registered as a full time student at an accredited US college or university
- Completed freshman year of study (two full semesters) and will be 18 or older prior to beginning of term away
- Suggested GPA of 3.0 or higher; students with lower GPA's are encouraged to provide insight to their academic goals in the personal statement
- Students who have completed at least one year of college but are not presently enrolled or who have graduated are also eligible to apply; however, priority is given to students currently matriculated
- Students on academic or disciplinary probation are ineligible to study away
