Summary
New York University, also known as NYU, is a private university that was founded in 1831. The university's main campus is in New York City, and it has additional campuses in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and Shanghai, which opened in 2010 and 2013, respectively. In a recent year, around one-quarter of the NYU student body was international, with students hailing from more than 130 countries. For several years, NYU has welcomed more international students to campus than any other U.S. university. Tuition costs are the same for domestic and international students, and university housing is available for both undergraduate and graduate students.
NYU has 18 schools and colleges that offer studies in a variety of fields, including arts and sciences, business, engineering, law, nursing and more. The university follows a semester-based academic calendar with a three-week January term. The primary language of instruction is English. NYU has 11 academic centers located around the world – including sites in Berlin; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Tel Aviv, Israel – that are home to NYU students who are studying abroad. A sampling of the university's many research institutes and centers includes the Brennan Center for Justice, the Sleep Disorder Center and the Vincent C. Ross Institute of Accounting Research. Students at the undergraduate level are included in research activities at NYU through such programs as the Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund, which awards grants to students pursuing research projects.
