NYU Courses

Gallatin students may take courses in most of the schools, departments and programs of NYU: the Graduate School of Arts and Science; the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development; the Stern School of Business; the Tisch School of the Arts; the School of Continuing and Professional Studies; the Silver School of Social Work; and the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Each semester there are numerous courses to choose from, many taught by some of the country’s leading research scholars and teachers. While Gallatin students must comply with each school’s policies about prerequisites and requirements, including restrictions in particular programs, the opportunity to take courses throughout the University enables them to develop a unique, interdisciplinary program of study. Although enrollment is simple in most cases, some courses require permission from the instructor or department; some departments severely limit the enrollment of nonmajors.  Special permission is always  required, for instance, in the School of Law; in several departments and programs of the Graduate School of Arts and Science (e.g., psychology, journalism, anthropology, creative writing, and fine arts); and in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch School of the Arts. Some programs are highly restrictive, such as the Graduate School of Arts and Science Creative Writing Program and some programs in the Tisch School of the Arts
