ANINTRODUCTIONTO New York University

he founding of New York University in 1831 by a group of eminent private citizens was a historic event in American education. In the early 19th century, a Tmajor emphasis in higher education was on the mastery of Greek and Latin, with little attention given to modern or contemporary subjects. The founders of New York University intended to enlarge the scope of higher education to meet the needs of persons aspiring to careers in business, industry, science, and the arts, as well as in law, medicine, and the ministry. The opening of the University of London in 1828 convinced New Yorkers that New York, too, should have a university. The first president of New York University’s governing council was Albert Gallatin, former adviser to Thomas Jefferson and secretary of the treasury in Jefferson’s cabinet. Gallatin and his cofounders said that the new university was to be a “national university” that would provide a “rational and practical education for all.” The result of the founders’ foresight is today a university that is recognized both nationally and internationally as a leader in scholarship. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, only 60 institutions are members of the distinguished Association of American Universities. New York University is one of the 60. Students come to the University from all 50 states and from over 130 foreign countries. The University includes 18 schools, colleges, and institutes at major centers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Abu Dhabi (UAE). In addition, the University operates a branch campus program in Rockland County at St. Thomas Aquinas College. Certain of the University’s research facilities, notably the Nelson Institute of Environmental Medicine, are located in Sterling Forest, near Tuxedo, New York. Although overall the University is large, the divisions are small- to moderate-sized units—each with its own traditions, programs, and faculty. Enrollment in the undergraduate divisions of the University ranges between 130 and 7,672. While some introductory classes in some programs have large numbers of students, many classes are small. Nearly 4,600 undergraduate courses are offered. The University overall grants more than 25 different degrees.

iberal Studies houses two programs: the Core Program, a two-year core curriculum program (HEGIS Code 5699*) from which students transition to other NYU schools Lto complete their bachelor’s degree, and the Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts four-year degree program (HEGIS Code 4901*). The Core Program is a full-time, two-year liberal arts program. It offers a comprehensive liberal arts background that serves as a strong foundation for further study. At the end of their studies, students who successfully complete the program requirements with a minimum GPA of 2.0 will enroll as juniors in one of NYU’s liberal arts bachelor’s degree programs: the College of Arts and Science, Global Liberal Studies, the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, the Silver School of Social Work, or select liberal arts programs at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, and the Tisch School of the Arts. The Core Program academic experience is built upon an interdisciplinary core curriculum that fulfills the liberal arts requirements of all the undergraduate programs at NYU. The Core Program is distinguished by small classes and an environment in which faculty and students work closely together to develop a community dedicated to learning. The Core Program functions like a small liberal arts college within the frame- work of a major research university. The Core Program was founded in 1972. Its faculty are actively engaged in their scholarly, creative, and professional fields, and they bring enormous enthusiasm and dedication to their teaching. The program fosters close contact between faculty and students in and out of the classroom, and all students are assigned a faculty adviser from the beginning of their studies. The hallmarks of the Core Program—small classes, an outstanding teaching faculty, individual advisement, and an integrated program of *HEGIS: Higher Education study—create an ideal learning environment.

Graduates of GLS will be world leaders, proficient in a foreign language, engaged in international cultures, and well-prepared for their careers and for admission to professional and graduate schools.

pplicants are selected by the Admissions Committee each year. The Admissions Committee offers admission to only a select group of freshman applicants who Athen may begin their NYU studies at our campus in New York City. A smaller group of candidates may be awarded the opportunity to begin their studies at one of our global academic centers in Florence, London, Paris, or Shanghai. Transfer applicants are not eligible for admission. The Admissions Committee carefully considers each candidate’s application and gives weight to a number of factors: academic record, standardized test scores, recommendations from counselors and teachers, and essays. The committee also seeks a class that is diverse in all respects and carefully considers the applicant’s special talents, alumni affiliation, socioeconomic background, geographic location, and race and eth- nicity. The committee is also interested in applicants who have an active and sustained level of involvement in school and/or community activities and who have taken on the responsibility of leadership. Admission is highly selective. Applicants are urged to file their application by the stated deadlines in order to be given full consideration.
