In addition, the University operates Medical School branch campus programs in Westchester County at Manhat- 1960 tanville College and in Rockland County at St. Thomas Aquinas Shirley M. Ehrenkranz College. Certain of the University’s research facilities, notably School of Social Work the Nelson Institute of Environmental Medicine, are located in 1965 Tisch School of the Arts Sterling Forest, near Tuxedo, New York. Although overall the University is large, the divisions are small- to moderate-sized 1972 Gallatin School of units—each with its own traditions, programs, and faculty. Individualized Study Enrollment in the undergraduate divisions ranges 1963 between 90 and 6,200. While some introductory classes Mount Sinai School in some programs have large numbers of students, many classes of Medicine (affiliated) are small. More than 2,500 courses are offered, leading to more than 25 different degrees.

INTRODUCTION • 11 12 • COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE College of Arts and Science

he history of the College of Arts and Science begins with the founding of the University by a number of prominent New Yorkers, led by Albert Gallatin, a mem- Tber of Jefferson’s cabinet. Unlike other institutions at the time, it was to be non- sectarian and to produce a different sort of elite citizen, not born to privilege but set apart for leadership by talent and effort. To that end it provided a more practical education, what the 19th century called “Useful Knowledge.” Thus, in addition to offering the standard classical curriculum, early NYU was also a center for science. Samuel F. B. Morse, after whom the current core curriculum is named, invented the telegraph while teaching art and design; John W. Draper invented modern photography; and the American Chemical Society was founded here. In the arts and culture, too, it can be argued that the College not only participated in but also generated much of the creative energy that has characterized Greenwich Village. The original University Building housed ateliers that were the forerunners of the current downtown art scene. And although Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was turned down for a teaching post, literature thrived, with University Building even featured in a 1861 novel by Theodore Winthrop. Finally, this neighborhood and this institution have had a long tradition of social and political activism—from the Stonecutters Riot over the construction of the University’s first building in 1834 to the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, a major event in U.S. labor history that took place in what is now the Brown Building. From its earliest days, then, the College on Washington Square has been at the cutting edge of intellectual, cultural, and social developments. In 1895, however, NYU’s great chancellor, Henry MacCracken, decided to reserve Washington Square for the professional schools, which had proliferated under his leadership, and to move University College to a beautiful campus in the Bronx—University Heights—designed by Stanford White. The College’s move to the Heights reflected MacCracken’s “Ivy” aspirations for the school and his successful effort to raise quality by attracting the best students nationally. Also relevant was the ascendant, nonurban collegiate ideal of a residential community, with fine teaching, extracurricular activities, fraternities, and intercollegiate athletics. A few years later an undergraduate presence was restored downtown with the opening of a Collegiate Division (1903), soon to become Washington Square College (1913). This school had a more diverse student body, opening its doors to women, recent immigrants, commuters, and professional students. For over 60 years, undergraduate liberal arts education at NYU took place in two locations—University College (and the Engineering School) at the Heights and the College on Washington Square, both offering excellent, but different, educational and social experiences.

22 • INDEX TO MAJORS AND MINORS The Morse Academic Plan

DIRECTOR OF THE MORSE ACADEMIC PLAN: he Morse Academic Plan (MAP) of the College of Arts and Science is an integrated Professor Myers general education curriculum in the liberal arts. The MAP is named for Samuel F. B. Morse, an early faculty member of the University. Best known as inventor of the tele- DIRECTOR OF THE EXPOSITORY WRITING PRO- T GRAM: graph, Morse taught fine arts at NYU and was an eminent painter. In his breadth of talent Professor Hoy and high achievement as both an artist and scientist, Morse symbolizes the range of skills and interests that the MAP is designed to foster. The MAP provides a core academic experience for undergraduates at NYU. Through a challenging array of foundational courses the program heightens cultural awareness, hones critical reading skills, promotes creative and logical thinking, and gives students extensive practice writing and speaking English and proficiency in at least one other language. Rather than specifying a fixed canon of knowledge, the MAP focuses on modes and methods of humanistic and scientific inquiry. In each case, students are free to pursue particular interests by choosing among a number of courses. Students examine our contemporary culture—its origins and social structures, its modes of expression, and its inherent diversity and evolving patterns of thought. In other classes, they consider the place and importance of modern science—its quantitative and analytical foundations, its processes of reasoning, and its relationship to technology and to our views of the natural world. By helping them to broaden their perspectives, gain new pathways for intellectual inquiry, and develop the skills, background, and social awareness to thrive in dynamic circumstances, the MAP thus seeks to prepare students for their later studies and to equip them well for lives as thinking individuals and members of society.

Black urban studies focuses on the cultural analysis of black people’s relations to a wide range of social, cultural, and political institutions such as museums, public offices, music and sports industries, mass media, the police, and public schools. Black urban studies also explores patterns of black migration, black cultural productions, and questions of class and gender dynamics within black communities. New York’s position as an international crossroads allows the program to bring prestigious scholars and artists for visits of six weeks to one year. Students, faculty, and members of the surrounding community interact with such guests through courses, presentation of works in progress, and performances in order to capture the international dimension of Pan-Africanism.

30 • AFRICANA STUDIES PROGRAM IN Ancient Studies Minor

25 WAVERLY PLACE, NEW YORK, NY 10003-6790. (212) 998-8592.

ADVISER: he chief intent of this minor is to allow students the possibility of significant and Professor Marincola (Classics) structured interdisciplinary work in ancient studies. The adviser for the minor (in Tconsultation with faculty from the student’s major department) is responsible for ensuring that each student’s experience remains cohesive. Nonetheless, this minor adheres to the principle of flexibility and inclusiveness. Each student will build the sort of experience that is most appropriate to his or her needs or desires. This means that the boundaries (temporal, spatial, conceptual) will remain permeable. Each student’s course of study is designed on an individual basis, guided by the student, the student’s adviser in his or her own major department, and the adviser from the ancient studies minor. A number of CAS departments and programs, as well as institutes and centers, are directly involved in this program: Anthropology, Classics, Comparative Literature, East Asian Studies, English, Fine Arts, Hebrew and Judaic Studies, History, Irish Studies, Lin- guistics, Middle Eastern Studies, and the Alexander S. Onassis Program in Hellenic Stud- ies. The minor consists of five 4-point courses, normally to be selected from the appropriate offerings of the departments listed above. All five of the courses selected must be offered by departments other than the student’s major department, and not more than two may be taken in any one department. Students are furthermore expected to examine at least three different civilizations or cultures in completing this minor. Language courses may not be used to fulfill the requirements of this minor. It is also required that students who choose this minor complete, as a capstone experience, an independent study course. The adviser for the ancient studies minor may assist students in designing a project and in finding an appropriate faculty member to direct this independent study. All programs must be approved by the ancient studies adviser before the student begins to take courses that would fulfill the minor requirements.

The department considers its greatest assets to be the var- Disotell ious individual areas of faculty expertise: archaeological specialties such as European, Near Eastern, and South Asian prehistory; biological anthropology areas such as molecular primatology, primate behavior and ecology, and paleoanthropology; linguistic anthropology foci such as discourse analysis and language socialization; and cultural anthropology specialties such as the ethnography of North America, Africa, India, the Near East, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and the South Pacific. Major theoretical emphasis is on the systems of thought and symbolic representation of the self and society; the relation between female and male domains of interaction; changing patterns of social organization and hierarchy within small-scale societies, urban settings, and bureaucratic institutions; medical anthropology; science studies; race and ethnicity; and the problem of ethnographic representation in film and other media. Departmental resources include an extensive film and video collection as well as teaching and research labs for archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology, which can be used for research by advanced undergraduates. A regular colloquium series and an undergraduate student association welcome undergraduate participation. For- mal and informal cooperative arrangements with museums, zoos, and other academic programs in the greater New York area place at students’ disposal a group of anthropological scholars, materials, and internship possibilities unparalleled in this country.

DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM: he Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program provides an interdisciplinary approach Associate Professor Tchen to understanding the history and contemporary experiences of Asian/Pacific Amer- Ticans in the Americas. The category of Asian/Pacific American includes people of East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands living in the United States as well as in other parts of the Americas. This program takes a critical community studies approach that uses field research as the central methodology to examine the relationship between theory and practice and between structure and agency, in the study of A/P/A communities. Students develop important analytical skills that will help them negotiate today’s multiracial, multiethnic environment, as well as gain a level of cross-cultural awareness and skills that will be useful to them in any field of study they choose to enter. The two main areas of concentration for this program are urban studies and diaspora studies. Urban studies examines the formation of A/P/A communities in relation to the various cultural, social, and political institutions in urban settings, with special emphasis on the New York metropolitan area. Diaspora studies investigates the processes that enable A/P/A communities in the United States to sustain ties with communities throughout the world. To study these two areas of concentration, the program insists on an interdisciplinary approach that takes into consideration analyses of cultural production—social, political, and economical processes—as well as cross-cultural conflict and collaboration. In coordination with the program, the A/P/A Studies Institute brings renowned artists, scholars, writers, and activists to campus. This provides the opportunity for discussion, performance, and reflection with students, faculty, and community members.

The Department of Comparative Literature encourages students to pursue theoretical and philosophical modes of reading and to understand the importance of engaging texts in the original language by taking advanced courses in a national literature and studying the practice of translation. To interrogate how literature is enmeshed in nonliterary contexts, comparative literature majors develop expertise in relevant related disciplines such as art history, philosophy, history, anthropology, and cinema studies. Comparative literature departmental course offerings include lecture classes in world literature and interdisciplinary studies that provide a transition from MAP into the major and small seminars where students work intensively with a distinguished faculty composed of scholars in African, Caribbean, Slavic, Latin American, Chinese, and Japanese areas as well as specialists in the European and Anglo-American traditions.

DIRECTOR OF UNDER- The department offers a computer science major, a computer science minor, and a GRADUATE STUDIES: Professor Overton minor in computer applications. The goal of the major is to train students in fundamental principles of computer science as well as many practical aspects of software development. The goal of the minors is to train students to be proficient users of computers and computer software with less emphasis on mathematical tools. Courses combine practical programming experience with techniques for analyzing problems and designing computer algorithms. Advanced undergraduate students can work on a variety of research projects with the faculty. Outstanding undergraduates may pursue a master’s degree through an accelerated five-year program.

DIRECTOR OF UNDER- way in which these four civilizations have interacted with the Western world to GRADUATE STUDIES: T Masayo Kaneko reconstitute received cultures into modern societies. By intensive study of Asian culture, the student is encouraged to reflect on the global interrelatedness of human society. At present, three language sequences are offered: a six-semester Chinese language sequence, a six-semester Japanese language sequence, and a six-semester Korean language sequence. Fourth-year study is also offered in all three languages. In addition, various courses in Asian culture are offered in the Department of East Asian Studies, while courses in history, politics, and art are available in other departments. Starting with the summer session of 2000, the program has arranged a series of courses at Nanjing University in China. The proximity of Chinatown to the College of Arts and Science gives students access to many cultural events, such as festivals and theatre, that highlight the social background of Asian thought. In New York City, important collections and exhibitions of Asian art are always available to the interested student.

Many faculty members are associated with research institutes. The C. V. Starr Center for Applied Economics, directed by Professor Mark Gertler, bridges the gap between academic research and decision making in business and government. It analyzes issues with important economic and social consequence and dis- seminates the results of its research to the business community through a series of conferences, monographs, seminars, and research papers. The Institute for Economic Analysis, directed by Edward Wolff, is an institute that explores theoretical and empirical questions using input-output as a primary tool of analysis.

CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: he Department of Fine Arts offers courses in the history and criticism of the visual Professor Sullivan arts in major world cultures. Students at the introductory level examine art objects Tand learn the basic critical and historical vocabulary through which these objects may be understood and appreciated. At the advanced level, majors and nonmajors alike have the opportunity to investigate aspects (e.g., style, iconography, patronage) of the arts in a particular geographical area at a given historical time. This advanced work, in conjunction with appropriate language training, provides a solid foundation for those who plan to go to graduate school in preparation for a career in the arts (e.g., scholarship, teaching, museums, writing). The urban design and architecture studies program provides both a broad, humanistic perspective on the physical aspects of the city and preprofessional training for future architects, city planners, public administrators, and writers on urban problems. An internationally renowned faculty and a diverse group of students share the Grey Art Library and Study Center, which includes lecture and seminar rooms, offices, a reference library, and ample space for the study of visual materials.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR comprehend the development of our human cultures. The four FCC courses intro- OF THE MORSE ACADEMIC T PLAN FOR FOUNDATIONS duce students to the modes of inquiry by which societies may be studied, social issues OF CONTEMPORARY CULTURE: analyzed, and artistic activity explored. Together they give undergraduates a broad Dr. Vincent Renzi methodological background on which to draw when later engaged in the more focused work of their major courses of study. As a result, students receive a richer education than any single major could provide. Through this core experience in humanistic and social-scientific inquiry and its focus on a number of similar readings across different course sections, the FCC framework allows students to enter into a dialogue with one another despite differences in their course schedules and in this way also encourages lifelong habits of intellectual curiosity and engagement. As they learn the sound employment of the academic approaches at the center of their FCC classes, students develop their abilities to read critically, think rigorously, and write effectively. By building these skills and an appreciation of the diversity of human experience, the FCC seeks to prepare students for their continued learning in and beyond college, for active participation in their communities, and for lives in a rapidly changing world. All FCC courses are taught by regular faculty, including some of the University’s most distinguished professors. In addition to two lectures a week, every FCC course includes recitation sections led by graduate student preceptors, allowing for small-group discussion of the readings, close attention to students’ written work, and personal concern for students’ progress.

ACADEMIC COORDINATOR FOR FOUNDATIONS OF Rather than striving for encyclopedic coverage of facts, Foundations of Scientific SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY: Dr. Andre Adler Inquiry (FSI) courses stress the process of scientific reasoning and seek to illustrate the role of science and mathematics in our understanding of the natural world. The objectives of the FSI sequence are to give students who will not be science majors a positive experience in scientific inquiry and to encourage learning about how science is done. The quantitative component of these courses emphasizes the critical role of mathematics in the analysis of natural phenomena. The courses within the FSI are collected into three groups—Quantitative Rea- soning, Natural Science I, and Natural Science II. All lectures are taught by regular faculty, including some of the University’s most distinguished professors, and each course includes workshops or related laboratory sections led by graduate student preceptors.

136 • FRENCH PROGRAM IN Freshman Honors Seminars (50)

100 WASHINGTON SQUARE EAST, ROOM 908, NEW YORK, NY 10003-6688. (212) 998-8110.

he Freshman Honors Seminars program offers select freshmen the opportunity to be in a small, intellectually stimulating class taught by a distinguished faculty mem- Tber or eminent visitor. These seminars aim to introduce students, at the beginning of their college careers, to demanding and challenging standards of analysis and argumentation, oral as well as written. They do so by means of intensive discussion, papers on focused topics, and reading that emphasizes critical interpretation rather than absorption of information. Except where noted, the seminars do not assume any specific course or background on the student’s part. Enrollment is usually limited to 16 students. As a rule, the seminars are given only in the fall semester. The array of seminars changes from year to year. A brochure describing all the fall offerings and their instructors appears in late spring. Below is a sampling of Freshman Honors Seminars that have been taught more than once in recent years.

Minor programs are available in German language and in German literature in translation. DIRECTOR OF LANGUAGE PROGRAMS: Along with its German language programs, the department offers interdisciplinary Dr. Schultz courses taught in English, which address issues of German culture, history, philosophy, science, art, and literature for students who do not have German language skills. An extensive program of individualized study, with flexible credit and meeting options, allows students to work one-on-one with faculty members to pursue topics of individual interest. The department sponsors the activities of the German Club and of the Tau Chap- ter of Delta Phi Alpha, the national German honor society, as well as a series of annual awards in recognition of outstanding achievement by undergraduate students in the study of German language and literature. Deutsches Haus, the German cultural center at NYU, provides a varied program of films, concerts, lectures, and exhibitions. The Department of German places high priority on fostering personal contact between faculty and students, maintains relatively small class sizes (15 or fewer students on average), and offers comfortable spaces for socializing, studying, and holding informal meetings. Advanced courses and some basic language courses are taught by full-time faculty members, all of whom are also involved in student advising.

In addition, the department collaborates closely with the Departments of History, English, Classics, Comparative Literature, and Middle Eastern Studies; the Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies; the Program in Religious Studies; and other appropriate departments. The department is further enriched by the extensive holdings of Judaica and Hebraica in the New York University Bobst Library and by cooperative arrangements with Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. In addition, New York City offers students a wide range of resources, both academic and cultural. Students are also encouraged to study in Israel to broaden their knowledge of Hebrew and Judaic studies.

DIRECTOR OF UNDER- tion to the contexts in which people have lived and worked. By mastering this GRADUATE STUDIES: H Associate Professor Ferrer method of thinking, students of history gain invaluable skills and techniques. They learn to analyze and interpret many different kinds of evidence—cultural, social, economic, and political—to organize it into a coherent whole and present it clearly with style in written or oral form. In doing so, students also learn to justify and to question their own and others’ conclusions, for history is always an argument about what actually happened. Indeed, rethinking and revising accepted historical conclusions is one of the most important—and most interesting—tasks of the historian. Notable among the department’s areas of scholarly strength are American urban, social, labor, and ethnic history; medieval, early modern, and modern European history; and American and European women’s history. The sub-Saharan African, Latin American, and Asian areas are also strong and tend to be multidisciplinary. Through independent study and the Honors Program, students find challenging opportunities for special concentration and individual research. The internship program enables students to engage in special kinds of supervised historical projects for credit. Many of the projects are at cultural institutions in New York and at the United Nations. The University’s Elmer Holmes Bobst Library is rich in works of history, and students also may also use the collections of the New York Public Library, the historical societies and museums in New York City, and neighboring universities.

The program recognizes and critically engages the changing nature of the contemporary political and economic environment and seeks to lay an interdisciplinary basis for understanding these changes. It provides students with an opportunity to study the complex web of transnational politics in an in- depth, interdisciplinary fashion. The breadth of courses is designed to match the breadth of knowledge and skills that the field requires. Fluency in a foreign language and a semester of study abroad at a site where that language is spoken are required of all majors to help ensure that they acquire a deeper understanding of a country’s culture and institutions. Majors are also encouraged, though not required, to take advantage of the many internship opportunities that are available in New York City to students of international relations.

DIRECTOR: reland and its diaspora present an extraordinarily significant and rewarding area of Professor Scally intellectual inquiry. The study of Irish society and culture provides students with an Iunderstanding of Ireland’s historical experience—its colonial past; its contribution to literature, both medieval and modern; its far-reaching effect in the modern world through its diaspora; and its dual language tradition and rival national narratives. The Irish studies minor at NYU offers an interdisciplinary program providing students with the opportunity to study and pursue directed research in the history and culture of Ireland and Irish America, exploring such areas as literature, history, drama, politics, art, cinema studies, music, and the Irish language. A faculty of internationally renowned scholars is supplemented by the regular presence of prominent visiting professors. In addition to the program at Washington Square, NYU in Dublin gives students the opportunity to study in Ireland during the summer. Through the generosity of Lewis L. and Loretta Brennan Glucksman, two landmark houses at Numbers One and Two Washington Mews were renovated to serve as the home for Ireland House. Since its official opening in 1993, Glucksman Ireland House has become one of the most vibrant centers of Irish and Irish American arts and learning in North Amer- ica. It offers a lively array of programs that are free to students, including evening courses, public lectures, conferences, films, exhibits, and readings.

DIRECTOR, ITALIAN LANGUAGE PROGRAM: The Department of Italian at New York University is one of the country’s leading Chiara Ferrari centers for Italian studies, offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. A faculty of internationally renowned scholars is supplemented by the regular presence of prominent visiting professors from Italy. The department also sponsors a wide range of cultural and intellectual activities (e.g., lectures, symposia, concerts) in which undergraduates are encouraged to participate. Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò: The Department of Italian Studies is located in the Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò at 24 West 12th Street. Once the residence of General Winfield Scott, it is a national historic landmark. Donated to NYU by the Baroness Mariuccia Zerilli-Marimò in memory of her husband, the late Baron Guido Zerilli-Marimò, the Casa Italiana is now a widely recognized center for Italian cultural and social activities. NYU in Florence at Villa La Pietra: Students of Italian have the opportunity to study in Florence at Villa La Pietra as part of their undergraduate experience. La Pietra is the European center for NYU students studying abroad. The former estate of Sir Harold Acton, La Pietra is a magnificent 57-acre estate overlooking downtown Florence. The estate includes 15th-century villas, an extensive Renaissance painting and sculpture collection, and authentically restored Tuscan gardens. Students may study Italian language, culture, and literature.

Clinical Associate Centrally located in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, the department immerses stu- Professor Ludlum dents in the richness and vitality of the city, while attracting to campus many of the leaders and thinkers in the journalism profession. New York City is our laboratory—and our inspiration. The very first lesson we offer students is this: Tap into it, with our help. NYU students study as interns in almost every major news organization in the city. They often graduate to jobs in newspapers, magazines, broadcast outlets, and on-line operations head- quartered in New York, though some choose to go elsewhere. And every day, students move outward from the classroom to the city, on assignments that take them all over town. The full-time faculty is itself of national stature in the journalism world. As writers, reporters, producers, and critics, NYU professors continue to practice the journalism they teach and preach, holding the profession to its highest standards of public service. Course work begins with the basic skills of reporting, writing, and research, but simultaneously students are taught what journalism at its best can be—and what it should accomplish in a free and democratic society. They are also encouraged to publish their work, with assignments, internships, and on-line projects geared to this end. Housed within the arts and sciences core of a leading university, the department sees journalism as an essential strand in the liberal arts tradition and a critical factor in public culture. But we also recognize that news these days is a business. When our skilled graduates enter that business, they are prepared to improve and enliven it. Department facilities include four state-of-the-art newsrooms, modern broadcast production facilities, the Associated Press wire service, and desktop publishing.

The requirement of five courses allows this interdisciplinary minor to be substantial, and the inclusion of a core course enhances its coherence. In addition, the minor gives capable and ambitious students special opportunities to pursue advanced, specialized, or hands-on work. While prelaw students may well wish to take it, this minor is not aimed specifically at them. A faculty executive committee oversees the Law and Society minor. It consists of Professors Jo Dixon (sociology), David Greenberg (sociology), Christine Harrington (politics and director, Institute for Law and Society), Wolf Heydebrand (sociology), and Dorothy Nelkin (sociology and School of Law).

While linguists work to determine the unique qualities of individual languages, they DIRECTOR OF UNDER- GRADUATE STUDIES: L are constantly searching for linguistic universals, for properties whose explanatory power Associate Professor Dougherty reaches across languages. The discipline of linguistics is organized around syntax (the principles by which sentences are organized), morphology (the principles by which words are constructed), semantics (the study of meaning), phonetics (the study of speech sounds), phonology (the sound patterns of language), historical linguistics (the ways in which languages change over time), sociolinguistics (the interaction of language with society), psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics (the representation of language in the brain). Current research by faculty members extends across the field: it includes topics in the interaction of syntax and semantics, phonetics and phonology, languages in contact, pidgin and creole languages, urban sociolinguistics, and computer analogies of syntactic processes.

204 • MATHEMATICS PROGRAM IN Medieval and Renaissance Studies (65)

THE MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE CENTER, 726 BROADWAY, ROOM 628, NEW YORK, NY 10003-9580. (212) 998-8698.

DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM: he undergraduate Program in Medieval and Renaissance Studies is part of the Professor Ivry Medieval and Renaissance Center (MARC). It focuses on the history, institutions, lan- Tguages, literatures, thought, faith, art, and music of Europe and the Mediterranean world from the collapse of Roman authority to about 1600 C.E. It is during this important period—which shaped and transmitted the classical heritage—that the social, artistic, intellectual, and scientific culture of present-day Europe and the Middle East was formed. The curriculum in medieval and Renaissance studies links undergraduates with NYU’s outstanding humanities faculty, with the superb libraries, museums, and collections in the New York area, and with musical and theatrical performances of works from this period that are given regularly in the city. It also enriches students’ intellectual and artistic experience in CAS Programs Abroad. Students design their own programs in consultation with the program director and faculty: they thus experience the intimate guidance of a center of excellence within the parameters of a great university.

285 MERCER STREET, 7TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NY 10003-6607. (212) 998-8090.

DIRECTOR OF THE PROGRAM: he Program in Metropolitan Studies is an undergraduate, interdisciplinary program Professor Walkowitz for the study of cities, urban issues, and urban culture. Using New York City as their laboratory, students work to better understand the MANAGER OF INTERNSHIPS: T relationship between people and the built environment. In their course work, students Betts Brown develop a critical understanding of how metropolitan areas evolve while they examine those areas’ core problems. The program exploits one of NYU’s major assets—its New York City location—in a variety of ways. In many courses, students learn through assignments involving independent fieldwork, observation, and analysis in both Manhattan and the greater metropolitan area. All majors participate in an 8-point internship program enabling them to work in government or nonprofit agencies while participating in a seminar in order to link this practical experience with theoretical and historical issues. The internship allows students to get involved in the community, gain experience in a professional setting, and explore career options. There is an honors program for qualified students that culminates in a senior thesis written under supervision of a faculty member. The program draws on faculty active in the city’s government, community, and nonprofit agencies. The major provides excellent training for students who wish to pursue further professional or graduate studies as well as for those seeking careers in the public, nonprofit, or private sectors. It provides particularly valuable preparation for students interested in law, the health professions, teaching, journalism, social work, architecture, city and regional planning, public policy, public administration, nonprofit administration, and community organization. An accelerated B.A./M.P.A. arrangement exists with New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. For more information, see under Preprofessional, Accelerated, and Specialized Programs.

Through the Collegium Musicum (part of the Center for Early Music), the Ethnomusicological Ensembles, and the New York University Symphony Orchestra, students bring to life music from many periods and cultures. The Center for Early Music is devoted to research into problems of performance practice for music before circa 1630. The majority of courses offered by the center are at the graduate level; undergraduate students, however, are welcome (after audition) to work with the Collegium Musicum, the performing ensemble of the center, using the Noah Greenberg Col- lection of Musical Instruments (based on the performing collection of the former New York Pro Musica). The Elmer Holmes Bobst Library and Study Center houses the archives of the American Institute for Verdi Studies, a continually expanding collection of microfilm resources, plus numerous books and manuscripts. Students also have access to a major research collection in the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

Theoretical tools include mathe- Assistant Professor Rubin matical and computational modeling approaches that have proved useful in other areas of science. Experimental questions include issues related to biophysical and neurochemical mechanisms within single nerve cells, functional neural circuits consisting of small numbers of neurons, the behavior of large systems of neurons, and the relationship between the activity of elements of the nervous system and the behavior of organisms. The Center for Neural Science offers a B.S. degree in neural science. The requirements for the major include V80.0100, V80.0201 (with lab), V80.0202 (with lab), V80.0301, V80.0303, V85.0011, V89.0001, V89.0009 or V89.0010, V23.0011, V23.0012, V23.0021, V25.0101-0103, V25.0102-0104, V25.0243-0245, and V63.0021. One elective course in neural science and one in either psychology or biology are also required. Students should see the director of undergraduate studies for approval of elective choices. Prehealth students must take, in addition, V85.0012 and V25.0244-0246, but are not required to take V80.0301. A grade of B or better in Introduction to Neural Science is required for entrance into the major; a grade of C or better must be achieved in all other courses required for the major. The following courses are recommended: V25.0244-0246 and V85.0012. Honors: To graduate with honors in neural science, students must achieve a grade point average of 3.5 or better for courses required for the major and 3.5 for all other courses taken for credit. Students must complete at least one semester of tutorial research with a faculty member affiliated with the Center for Neural Science. They are also required to submit an honors thesis that is accepted for honors standing by the faculty sponsor and the director of undergraduate studies.

CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: hilosophy poses general questions about reality, knowledge, reasoning, language, and Professor Boghossian conduct. The four main branches are metaphysics (What is the ultimate nature of

DIRECTOR OF reality? What really exists and what is mere appearance?); epistemology (What, if UNDERGRADUATE P STUDIES: anything, can be known and how?); logic (What are the principles of correct reasoning?); Professor Richardson and ethics (What is moral value? And what moral values should we adopt?). Other, more specific, branches of philosophy address questions concerning the nature of art, law, medicine, politics, religion, and the sciences. Everyone tends to have or assume answers to these questions. The aim of the department is to enable students to identify, clarify, and assess these answers, both ancient and modern. Philosophy prepares students for a more reflective life, for advanced studies in the subject, as well as for professions that emphasize analytic thinking and argumentation, such as law, business, and programming.

In addition, the DIRECTOR OF T UNDERGRADUATE department provides instruction in political economy and research methodology. STUDIES: Professor Morton Many graduates of the program enter law school. However, the orientation of the department is not strictly preprofessional, and its students are well prepared to enter a number of fields: teaching, business, journalism, government (including the foreign service), social work, urban affairs, and practical politics. The department has an internship program that has helped to place advanced students with New York State and City government, congressional staffs, public policy interest groups, and international organizations with offices in New York. The department also sponsors a Washington Semester Program for which a limited number of students are accepted each semester. For details of this program, see course descriptions (V53.971), and consult the director of undergraduate studies. The honors program provides an opportunity for outstanding students to undertake specialized advanced work and independent research during their junior and senior years.

broad liberal arts education—which includes a general education (MAP) and a major in a liberal arts discipline or interdisciplinary field—provides a sound foundation for Amany careers in business. The skills and perspectives of the liberal arts—in analysis, communication, etc.—are practical as well as personally enriching. Liberal arts students, however, can considerably enhance their preparedness for business by also completing a small number of more specific courses. In consultation with the Undergraduate College of the Stern School of Business, the College of Arts and Science has identified a set of such courses. These courses— some offered by CAS and some by the Stern School of Business—are incorporated in the minor in pre-business studies. By completing this CAS minor, students will have acquired core knowledge and quantitative skills that are invaluable assets for success in the business professions. Intended especially for students interested in the humanities, the minor in pre- business studies is open only to students in College of Arts and Science and is administered by the College Office. Students considering the minor should consult with the pre-business adviser in the College Preprofessional Advising Office. This person’s responsibilities include advising prospective and declared minors, evaluating the applicability of transfer credit, approving course substitutions when warranted, and meeting with Stern on matters of CAS/Stern articulation.

CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: he Department of Psychology at NYU approaches the study of mind and behavior Associate Professor from many perspectives. Experimental cognitive psychologists focus on perception, Carrasco memory, attention, language, and thinking. Behavioral and physiological psycholo- ASSOCIATE CHAIR OF THE T DEPARTMENT: gists focus on environmental and biological contributions to behavior. Clinical psychologists Professor Trope look at emotions, stress, relationships, and disruptions of normal psychological functioning.

DIRECTOR OF Community psychologists consider the broader social context for healthy development and UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES: functioning. Experimental social psychologists determine how social beliefs, attitudes, and Associate Professor decisions are formed and maintained. Organizational psychologists examine the utility of Maloney psychological theories in real world contexts. These many perspectives are reflected in under- ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE graduate course offerings, all of which emphasize the scientific basis of psychology. STUDIES: Dr. Richard Bock In addition to its course offerings, the department encourages advanced undergraduates to become involved with the research of individual faculty through the Research Experiences and Methods and the Honors Program. Highly qualified students are admitted to the Honors Program in their sophomore or junior years, take special seminars, and write an honors research thesis under close faculty supervision. NYU psychology majors are well prepared for graduate study of the discipline and are accepted by top programs throughout the country. Others go on to careers in law, business, medicine, and education. The major’s rigorous training in research methodology and social science may account for the high placement rate of graduates who enter the workforce directly from their baccalaureate program.

ublic policies affect almost every aspect of our lives. Decisions by state, local, federal, and international organizations influence the quality of the environment, Paccess to health care, international development, and the emergence of a global media industry. The minor in public policy, jointly developed and administered by the College of Arts and Science and the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, is designed for undergraduates interested in understanding such key issues and problems of the modern world and in approaches to dealing with them. This interdisciplinary, interschool minor offers students a meaningful cluster of courses in a professional area where the liberal arts disciplines can provide important perspectives. It also furthers several related goals: it links the classroom to the city, encourages students to apply their theoretical learning, and provides a minor that is coherent and substantial, in that it entails five courses, one of which is a capstone experience whereby students gain a deeper understanding of how public policies are made and carried out. An executive committee of College of Arts and Science and Wagner School of Public Service faculty oversees the public policy minor. For each track, there is a designated adviser to students. For communications and the media, it is Professor Michael Ludlum, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, 10 Washington Place, Room 605B, (212) 998-7972. For health, it is Ms. Beverley Warner, Wagner School, 4 Washington Square North, Room 24, (212) 998-7476. For international development, it is Professor Roman Frydman, Department of Economics, 269 Mercer Street, Room 830, (212) 998-8967. Also available to advise students in this minor is Ms. Anne Blatz, a staff adviser in the College Advising Center, Room 905, Silver Center, (212) 998-8130.

DIRECTOR OF small groups to organizations such as businesses and government agencies, to the UNDERGRADUATE S STUDIES: functioning of communities, cities, and nations. Our methods of research are diverse, rang- Professor Lehman ing from the quantitative analysis of large surveys to qualitative approaches such as in-depth interviewing, participant observation, and historical investigation. Whether the goal is to become an informed citizen, an expert in some special field, or a socially active trailblazer, we offer the tools and knowledge to help students make sense of the world around them. Students preparing for careers in law, social service, health, public administration, and other professional areas will find sociology an excellent major and can choose from many relevant substantive courses. Those interested in social research and policymaking will benefit especially from courses that teach practical skills of data gathering and analysis. In all of these courses, we encourage students to study issues from a variety of perspectives, to develop a critical awareness of social life, and to use a “sociological imagination” to analyze social problems and act effectively. NYU’s Department of Sociology reflects the scope of our discipline. The faculty includes experts in a variety of fields, including gender studies and the family; crime, law, and deviance; political sociology, including social movements and social policy; organizations and economy; education; inequality; community and urban life; social theory; and culture. The full range of our course offerings is shown in the listing of courses below.

he College of Arts and Science offer students a wide variety of activities outside the classroom: curriculum-related clubs, socials, and service to the community and the TUniversity. Students participate in faculty meetings and departmental committees and sit as voting members of the University Senate. The vigor of intellectual life at college after hours is found in curriculum-related clubs that embrace all academic disciplines. For example, the Classics Club is noted for guest lecturers, Greek and Latin reading groups, discussion groups on classical civilization, and productions of ancient tragedy and comedy in the original language and in English. Bus trips are organized by various clubs (e.g., Fine Arts, History, Classics Clubs) to museums and private collections in other cities. Clubs associated with the sciences visit research laboratories, hospitals, and industrial plants. Students may become members of the Choral Arts Society, the NYU Concert Band, the NYU Jazz Ensembles, the NYU Orchestra, the NYU Woodwind Ensembles, the NYU Chamber Music Society, and Collegium Musicum. In addition, the Student Council sponsors other cocurricular activities. Students serve the community in various ways, volunteering time to settlement houses or tutoring high school students. Information on student life is available at the College Advising Center, Silver Center, Room 905. A variety of activities is open to all students at Washington Square: student councils representing all undergraduate and graduate students; special interest groups; science and professional societies; political, religious, and ethnic groups; fraternities; sororities; student publications, including the Washington Square News; and the radio station, WNYU- FM.

very year, hundreds of students in the College devote their time and energy to community service. In addition to the satisfaction they receive in helping their neighbors, Ethey also gain valuable work experience. Through NYU’s Community Service Center, students volunteer with dozens of not-for-profit organizations throughout New York City. Community service provides an opportunity to address major social, health, hunger, and environmental issues. Through service, students enhance their leadership skills, find fulfillment in giving back something to the community, and build new relationships while learning more about themselves.

he University confers the following degrees on candidates recommended by the faculty of the College of Arts and Science and approved by the trustees of New York TUniversity: 1. Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) B.A. programs are offered by all departments of the College except that of neural science. 2. Bachelor of Science (B.S.) B.S. programs are offered by the following departments of the College: chemistry, neural science, and physics. For details, see these individual departments. The College also offers jointly with Stevens Institute of Technology a Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering (B.S./B.E.) program. See under Engineering. Further information is available in the College Advising Center, Silver Center, Room 905. The general degree requirements are the same for the B.A. and the B.S. with the exception of the B.S./B.E. To be eligible for the bachelor’s degree, students must complete 128 points with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0. Within these points, students must fulfill the requirements of both a major and the Morse Academic Plan (MAP). The degree requirements to be fulfilled are those in effect during the term of the student’s first registration in the College. Registration in another division of New York University does not constitute a registration in the College of Arts and Science. Readmitted students must fulfill the requirements as listed in the College of Arts and Science Bulletin published during the year of their readmission, unless their readmission letter states otherwise. In very exceptional cases, a student may petition the Committee on Undergradu- ate Academic Standards for approval of a change in the requirements as stated in the bulletin. The petition form may be obtained from the Office of the Associate Dean for Stu- dents, Silver Center, Room 909B.
