What school in NYU should I apply to?

I can’t really find any specific information on any of these areas of study that would relate to one school.

Well, that’s the thing about going to a university like NYU: you have to be a little bit surer about your major going in, because you do have to apply to a specific school. In order to change your major to one not offered by your school, you’d have to transfer, and I’m not sure how easy that is.

NYU CAS does have a “professional edge” certificate program in real estate, architecture, construction, and engineering (http://cas.nyu.edu/object/ug.about.professionaledge.realestate), but there’s not a lot of information about it because NYU is revamping that certificate program. NYU doesn’t have an architecture program, but they do have a major in urban design and architecture studies in their art history department (which I think is the scholarly study of architecture and not studying how to BE an architect). The Tandon School of Engineering has a major in construction management.

A potential option is to create your own major blending these things at the Gallatin School, but you’d have to have a really good idea of what you want to do ahead of time.
