Welcome to the College of Arts and Science at New York University. We form a diverse and vibrant community--a challenging and sophisticated center in one of the most exciting and cosmopolitan cities in the world. Our students join with a distinguished faculty to build new knowledge and to engage fully with a dynamic city and a widening world, so that they can become the doctors, attorneys, scholars, teachers, scientists, programmers, entrepreneurs, and artists who make a difference in the world in which we live.

In these pages you can read about our faculty and departments, our many preprofessional programs, and the ways in which we challenge students by offering them Freshman Honors Seminars, research experiences, internships in New York City, and access to the first truly global network university (to name just a few of our strengths).

As you browse, questions may occur to you. If they are not answered here, please contact our Admissions Office or, if you are already a student at NYU, the College Advising Center. We will be happy to advise and inform you further.
