Health Insurance for Students Studying Away
NYU requires that students studying away as part of their educational program be covered under the NYU-sponsored Study Away health insurance plan administered by Worldwide Insurance Services. The school- sponsored GeoBlue program utilizes the Blue Cross Blue Shield provider network in the United States and provides easy access to care. Students enrolled in these GeoBlue plans are still required to maintain other health insurance coverage in their home countries.
- For more information, visit the Student Health Insurance website.
