Accelerated Undergraduate Studies
NYU Accelerate
NYU undergraduates are required to complete 128 credits to receive their degrees. Most students accomplish this in the traditional four-year period. However, nearly 20% of undergraduates are using AP, IB and transfer credits as well as January or Summer terms to finish early.
NYU Accelerate makes it easier for students to map pathways that take full advantage of NYU's academic offerings while still having a full and rich college experience. Through the creation of designated acceleration advisors, a customized online academic planner, and the increased awareness and addition of two-credit courses in every school, NYU students can explore a range of academic options complete their course requirements in a shorter period of time. Interested in an accelerated degree? Ask your academic advisor today if finishing early makes sense for you.
