Admissions
Liberal Studies is an opportunity for highly qualified students to attend NYU by entering the University as freshmen with a guaranteed enrollment as juniors at one of NYU’s liberal arts bachelor’s programs: the College of Arts and Science, the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, or the Global Liberal Studies Program. Students may also transition into specific liberal arts programs housed within other NYU schools and colleges such as the Tisch School of the Arts and the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In order to transition seamlessly between programs, students must meet specific program requirements and be in good academic standing at the end of sophomore year. At NYU, good academic standing typically is defined as a minimum 2.0 GPA. The opportunity to attend LS is offered only to a carefully selected group of students.</p>
<p>Students are not able to apply directly to LS. The NYU Admissions Committee selects a limited number of highly qualified students from the pool of applicants to NYU’s four-year bachelor’s programs for admission to LS. Students who are eligible to be considered for admission to the Liberal Studies Program will be notified by the NYU Admissions Committee.</p>
