<p>[Proposal:</a> Some may stay in GSP for 4 years - University](<a href=“http://media.www.nyunews.com/media/storage/paper869/news/2008/04/14/University/Proposal.Some.May.Stay.In.Gsp.For.4.Years-3322371.shtml]Proposal:”>http://media.www.nyunews.com/media/storage/paper869/news/2008/04/14/University/Proposal.Some.May.Stay.In.Gsp.For.4.Years-3322371.shtml)</p>
<p>If approved, it will come into effect in time for the class of 2009.</p>
<p>what do you mean class of 2009?</p>
<p>The class coming in fall 2009. As in, those graduating high school in 2009, NYU Class of 2013. It’s not really logical to be talking about NYU Class of 2009 in this case… seeing as they’re graduating next school year.</p>
<p>It appears to be strictly an liberal arts program or preparatory program for Graduate school. Otherwise it will conflict with other programs in CAS with specific majors (and the name of the program would not make sense).</p>
<p>hmmm the article made it sound good, but I don’t know.
I mean, wasn’t the purpose of gsp to sort of prep kids who would benefit from the strictly liberal arts curriculum and smaller classes, before they went into the school they originally chose? And scion is right, wouldn’t if conflict with other majors, because let’s say your majoring in English, would you go the gsp route or through CAS?</p>
<p>Molly, I think their goal with this four-year program is to allow students to graduate with a major in liberal studies. This initiative is for student who apply to NYU with the intent of receiving a general education for all four years.</p>
<p>I think students who apply to other schools for other majors may still be granted the 2 year GSP option, which would then allow them to move on to their intended college and major. </p>
<p>I think…</p>
<p>oh ok I see. I wonder what prompted the change? Maybe it’s because gsp is a good program and gsp kids have a higher graduation rate than kids from other nyu schools. It’s interesting to think kids might be able to apply to GSP directly rather than get placed in.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that some students will think that GSP is an easy way to get admitted at NYU and apply there with the hope of transferring into the college they really want to go to. GSP is a good two year program, but I don’t think there are too many people who would truly be interested in attaining a liberal arts degree. At least, not enough kids to constitute an entire college.</p>
<p>It does sound like a great idea for those who strictly wants a liberal arts education. Could be a excellent competitor to other liberal arts school. However, I doubt that GSP is “easier” to get in. If applicants think it is “easier”, more people will apply, and that will certainty make it more competitive.</p>
<p>But the stats of the applicants overall would most likely be lower, since those who are more sure of their stats would probably apply to a school, so maybe those who have slightly higher stats than the rest (but who aren’t confident enough to try for CAS, etc.) would find it easier to get into GSP?</p>
<p>Meh… I don’t know about this program… it doesn’t sound as if people would be attracted to it, since they’re using the current GSP program as a base. I mean, a liberal arts education is excellent, but people might still feel as if it’s like taking second place.</p>
<p>True, but making it a 4-year program would make it appear as a stable program that ranks among the other 4-year programs so it will not look like second place to other programs at NYU. After all, you will get a bachelors degree rather than an associates degree for the 4-year program.</p>
<p>i read about this in the WSN. it sounds stupid.</p>
<p>honestly, the GSP should be done away with.</p>
<p>Why do you say that they should get rid of GSP?..just curious</p>
<p>It seems like NYU is just trying to make more money, while keeping acceptance rates low at other schools like cas, tisch, and stern</p>
<p>binghamton, i say this because the GSP is a money making ploy. most of the kids in GSP considered NYU to be a far reach school, so they will jump on the opportunity to attend, paying full tuition for an education of lesser quality.</p>
<p>also, like and1wish said, it is certainly a way to make money while keeping the acceptance rates for each school low.</p>
<p>I know that the gsp classes are less rigorous than CAS, but is it really lower quality education? the professors are the same as CAS, and the classes are smaller and more student focused so how is the quality much less? Unless gsp proffs don’t really their gsp classes as well as their CAS classes. which I sort of doubt.</p>
<p>The NYU website talks of the what is new for 2008-2009. GSP is now Liberal Studies Program and the have a new 4 yr program Global Liberal Studies.</p>

<p>Sorry, but your dick isn’t any bigger because you didn’t go through GSP. Maybe if you actually had a clue about the type of students who go through the program or what it’s like you’d actually know what you were talking about?</p>
<p>GSP to me is an an excellent program. From my understanding people who go through it still get a great education, and fulfill the MAP easily since they have all their done in 2 years. Honestly you people bashing it are silly.</p>
<p>robo, i’m not a dude, so i’m thankful i don’t have a big dick.</p>
<p>that being said, the GSP <em>IS</em> nothing more than a money making plot for NYU. think about it.</p>
