First Time Student (25 & Over)

Discover how NYUS can help fit education into your life!

At NYUS, we understand how difficult it is to balance work, family, and your education. That is why our online, in-class, or blended programs give you the choice to learn when and how it is best for you. As a NYUS student you have the flexibility of taking your classes online, in the classroom, or both. As a NYUS  student you will be able to take your classes at any of our locations, including online. NYUS offers a variety of online undergraduate degrees, as well as, evening classes at our  Campuses. This makes it easy to pursue your degree on your terms. The majority of our classes are also only 9 weeks long, as opposed to the traditional 16 week semester. So in 9 weeks, you could have that first class behind you and be one step closer to have your college degree.

 

Starting a university can be a confusing process. Here are a few NYUS definitions to help make your NYUS admission’s process a little easier.

 

Accelerated Classes – NYUS understands that it is difficult to sit in the classroom for 16 weeks when you also have work and family responsibilities. Our solution is our 9-week accelerated classes. All of our online and majority of the Miami City, Brookln, and Manhattan classes are taught in the 9-week format. These classes only meet for 9 weeks but give the same credit hours as a full semester class.

 

Campus Location – It has  3 campuses in Manhattan. The home location you select will be your main contact for student services and advisement. You are free to take your classes anywhere within NYUS, including online.

 

Terms/Semester/Sessions – One of the first choices you will have to make on the application is when you would like to start. Online and Global Campus classes operate on the 9 week term system and, therefore have five start terms throughout the year. The 4 Alabama campuses operated on a semester system, so you will see Fall/Spring/Summer start dates on the application. The Brookln City, Miami , and Montgomery campuses, however, have two sessions within Fall and Spring semesters and, therefore, also have five start dates within the year.

 

Associate/Bachelor Degree – The associate degree is a two-year degree. The bachelor degree is a four-year degree. You are not required to complete your associate’s degree before starting a bachelor’s degree. Undergraduate/Graduate- undergraduate degrees are the first 4 years of college. Graduate degrees are master level programs, which you can choose to pursue in your program after you have graduated with your bachelor’s degree.
