Welcome
The Study NYC Visiting Student Semester is designed to provide students from outside of the New York metropolitan area an affordable opportunity to “Study Away” for a semester in the greatest city in the world. Students may participate in this program during the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer semesters.
Participants in the Study NYC Visiting Student Semester will be offered the opportunity to choose courses that can be applied to their major/general education degree requirements at their home institution or design an “urban semester” comprised of properly themed courses in such areas as African and African American Studies, Anthropology, Business, Dance, English, History, Latin American and Puerto Rican Studies, Multimedia Journalism, Music, Political Science, Psychology, Social Work, and Sociology.
