NYU in Shanghai: offering all the benefits of New York University in Asia’s most exciting business and cultural center.
In this section, you will find a list of all the courses currently offered at NYU in Shanghai. Though we try to keep the list as up-to-date as possible, please contact the NYU in Shanghai Academic Support Office (shanghai.academics@nyu.edu) for the most current list of course offerings. A detailed syllabus for each course is also available on Blackboard for registered students.
The intent of this section is to introduce current and prospective students to the course offerings of our program. For prospective students, you can get a feel of what is offered in Shanghai and begin to plan how a semester in Shanghai can fit into your educational plan. Current students can use this as a guide to choose their classes once they are in Shanghai, as well as a resource for scheduling and syllabi.
Many of the courses include additional activities that are off-campus visits to Shanghai’s historical sites or cultural centers. The Contemporary Art class has visits to the nearby city of Suzhou, local galleries and the homes of artists; the Economics class will visit Bao Steel, one of the world’s biggest producers; the Advertising course includes a trip to the offices of a locally-run advertising company. Most other classes will have equally interesting trips. The idea behind these events is that any educational experience, whether study abroad or otherwise, is enhanced by opportunities that allow students to interact with topics and themes in a non-classroom environment. In this, the city of Shanghai essentially becomes an extension of the classroom.
