In addition to the academic centers abroad, NYU students have the opportunity to study away from New York at one of the University’s partner institutions by participating in a student exchange. The international Exchange Program enables NYU students to study at a variety of institutions in 13 countries – all distinguished research universities – while retaining matriculation at NYU and earning NYU credit.
Many universities offer course work in English and others require advanced knowledge of a foreign language.
The Faculty Resource Network has established a student exchange program for outstanding undergraduates between New York University and three historically black and two Hispanic-serving colleges: Morehouse College, Spelman College, Xavier University of Louisiana, University of Puerto Rico (Rio Piedras), and University of Sacred Heart in Puerto Rico.
New York University students who are accepted into the exchange program will spend a semester of full-time study at one of the participating institutions listed above
The program will be offered for the spring semester of 2008. Participating students will reside in on-campus housing facilities and participate in honors program activities. NYU students can satisfy major and other degree requirements while studying at one of the host colleges by receiving prior written approval from their academic advisor.

Paths to Peace brings together students of different faiths and backgrounds from Israel and Palestine for a semester of fellowship and learning at New York University. The program is dedicated to training future leaders and endowing them with the skills and experience necessary to advance reconciliation and coexistence for future generations.
Students admitted into the program are provided tuition, housing and living expenses for one term of study at NYU. During their tenure they are enrolled in an academic course of the history of Israel and the Middle East, as well as a workshop that focuses on the historical, political, cultural, and religious relationships amongst the heritage nations of the students represented in the program, and issues relating to conflict resolution, righting historical wrongs, and different models of coexistence. Program participants also participate in off-campus retreats and other excursions that expose them to educational and cultural opportunities in and around New York City related to the focus of the program. Participants are also given the opportunity to enroll in additional courses related to their own degree or research interests.
