YOUR JUNIOR YEAR
Often lost in the rush and excitement of arrival and graduation, the Junior Year is an exciting and important period of a student's college career. In addition to pursuing specialized coursework in their major, Juniors have the opportunity to participate in various interdisciplinary, specialized, and accelerated programs offered by the College. Many Juniors will also study abroad, begin to prepare for graduate school, and/or pursue internships and employment opportunities related to future academic and career plans. In other words, the Junior Year is a crucial "bridge" year during which student needs are diverse, specialized, and continually evolving. Junior year is an ideal time to:
Attend academic and preprofessional events that support your intellectual and career goals
Explore possible double majors, minors, and cross-school minors
Consider pursuing honors in your major
Take advantage of research opportunities, apply for a DURF grant or a Global Award, and/or participate in the Undergraduate Research Conference
Study away at one of NYU's many sites around the world, or at international exchange partners, or through a summer study away program
Prepare for law school, a career in business, a health profession, or a liberal arts graduate program
If you're interested in graduate school, consider one of our Accelerated Bachelor’s-Master’s Programs.
