First Time Student (25 & Over)
At NYUS, we understand the challenge of balancing work, family, and education. That’s why our flexible programs—online, on-campus, or blended—allow you to learn in the way that works best for you. As an NYUS student, you’ll be able to take courses at any of our campuses, or online, with the freedom to pursue your degree on your terms.
Most of our classes run in 9-week accelerated sessions instead of the traditional 16-week semester. This means you can complete courses faster and move closer to earning your degree in less time.
Why Choose NYUS?
✔ Accelerated Classes
We understand that sitting in class for 16 weeks is difficult for students balancing work and family. That’s why NYUS offers 9-week accelerated classes—online and in-person—at our Miami, Brooklyn, and Manhattan campuses. These shorter sessions provide the same credit hours as a traditional semester.
✔ Flexible Campus Locations
NYUS has multiple campus locations, including Manhattan. Your chosen campus will serve as your main hub for student services, while you can still take classes at any NYUS campus—or online.
✔ Multiple Start Dates
Our online and global campuses operate on the 9-week term system, with five start dates throughout the year. Other campuses, such as Brooklyn, Miami, and Montgomery, offer two start dates—Fall and Spring.
✔ Degree Options
Associate Degree (2 years)
Bachelor’s Degree (4 years)
You can start with an associate degree or go directly into a bachelor’s program. Graduate-level degrees (Master’s programs) are also available once you complete your undergraduate studies.
