It is a world-class, comprehensive liberal arts and sciences research university in the heart of Shanghai, and unlike any other university in the world. Since 1831, NYU has proudly been in and of the city of New York, unencumbered by gates, intimately woven into the identity and landscape of one of the great idea capitals of the world. In the heart of Greenwich Village, the NYU community has flourished, gaining as much from the city as it has contributed. Just as NYU is proudly in and of the city of New York, NYU is also proudly in and of the city of Shanghai, another great idea capital and a magnet for the best of intellect, culture, and inquiry from all over the world. But Shanghai is like no other place: a city of the future, it also has its own history and traditions, which are a vital part of its fabric. With its diverse resources—the educational foundation of NYU and the vibrancy and relevance of Shanghai—NYU Shanghai is where your classroom education intersects with a life’s education. 2 03 - Part-I-About.indd 2 15/08/2018 11:13 AM The NYU Shanghai Vision NYU Shanghai exemplifies the highest ideals of contemporary higher education by uniting the intellectual resources of New York University’s global network with the multidimensional greatness of China. It guides students toward academic and moral excellence, preparing them for leadership in all walks of life, and it contributes to the endless quest for new insights into the human condition and the natural world. Values NYU Shanghai operates in accord with the values of curiosity, rigor, integrity, respect, harmony, responsibility, and deep engagement with all humanity. Mission In teaching, NYU Shanghai aspires to prepare its students for lives of discovery, satisfaction and contribution. They will study with superb teachers who nurture their capacity for original, rigorous, and critical thinking, and with diverse and intellectually gifted classmates. They will pursue a liberal education in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and mathematics. They will immerse themselves in English, the language of international communication. They will master the skills of cross-cultural effectiveness in a community where half are from China and half are from other lands. They will reflect upon the role that great cities play in human progress, and upon the interdependent relationship between China and the rest of the world. In research, NYU Shanghai aspires to produce original, rigorous, and important insights across a broad set of academic domains. Such insights do more than extend existing knowledge in predictable ways; they provide fresh understanding that is fully consistent with our observations and at the same time promise to have a significant influence on the thinking of others. In public service, NYU Shanghai aspires to promote healthy development within the many communities it inhabits. It strives to be a responsible actor in the individual lives of students, teachers, and staff; in the local neighborhoods that surround its campus; in the district of Pudong, the city of Shanghai, and the nation of China; in East China Normal University; in New York University; in the interdependent society of humankind; and in a fully global ecosystem. Research at NYU Shanghai NYU Shanghai will continue in the great tradition of universities that combine world- class research with exceptional teaching. Research Institutes are focused on Mathematics, Computational Chemistry, Neuroscience, Physics, and Social Development with a Center for Big Data for Society and Business and a Center for Global Asia opening this year. Both graduate and undergraduate students at NYU Shanghai will have the opportunity to participate in research opportunities. 3 03 - Part-I-About.indd 3 15/08/2018 11:13 AM OVERVIEW PARTNERS The NYU Shanghai academic experience is East China Normal University characterized by rigor, a global perspective, ECNU is a high-level normal university founded and a strong foundation in the liberal arts in October 1951.
