Taking Classes in Other NYU Schools

College of Arts and Science (CAS)

Notes, Advice and Tips About CAS
  • Many Gallatin students enjoy classes listed under the Morse Academic Plan (MAP) in the NYU Directory of Classes.
  • Students wishing to take foreign language, mathematics or computer science courses in CAS may be required to take a placement exam. If you have a question about any CAS course or instructor, you can contact their Advising Center directly at (212) 998-8130.

  • Many introductory CAS courses are 4-credit lectures that also require you to enroll in a 0-credit discussion section or lab. For example, “Introduction to Sociology” is a lecture course with a discussion section. In the Fall 2002 NYU Directory of Classes the course is listed like this:

    V93.-0001001 Intro to Sociology 4.0 LEC MW 12:30PM-01:45PM
    STUDENTS MUST ALSO REGISTER FOR RCT SEC 004-011
    V93.-0001004 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT M 08:00AM-09:15AM
    V93.-0001005 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT W 08:00AM-09:15AM
    V93.-0001006 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT M 11:00AM-12:15PM
    V93.-0001007 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT W 11:00AM-12:15PM
    V93.-0001008 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT M 02:00PM-03:15PM
    V93.-0001009 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT W 02:00PM-03:15PM
    V93.-0001010 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT M 02:00PM-03:15PM
    V93.-0001011 Intro to Sociology 0.0 RCT W 02:00PM-03:15PM

    You must first enroll in V93.0001001 (the 4-credit lecture, LEC) and next a 0-credit discussion section (RCT) that fits into your schedule. In this example a student may choose from 8 different RCT sections. If one RCT section is closed, the student should choose another.
