Summer in NYC

Learn, explore, and experience all New York University and New York City have to offer with one of our unique Summer Programs!

Summer in NYC offers both undergraduate and graduate courses and is open to current NYU students as well as visiting students, both domestic and international. Our program offers a variety of course options including three-, six-, and twelve-week sessions.

Take advantage of all NYU has to offer by choosing up to two courses during each of our six-week sessions. You'll have the flexibility to create your own schedule and select courses from any of nine colleges.

Attending Summer in NYC is a registration process - not an application process. Enrollment is open to eligible individuals, unless a restriction or pre-requisite is noted in the course description.
