Both the quality of instruction and our expectations of you are high. Navigating through this site, you will find a full list of courses and faculty.

The Office of Academic Support is available to help you with registration, advising, and the extensive program of course-related field trips. The Office of Student Life oversees all aspects of your student life in Florence, including on-campus and off-campus housing. The Office of Community Relations organizes marvelous volunteer opportunities throughout the city. Taken all together, NYU in Florence offers its student population (between 350-400) a wealth of opportunities both in and out of the classroom.
