At NYUS, when evaluating candidates for admission, we look for motivation, maturity, and the potential to grow and succeed. We seek evidence that applicants can truly benefit from the challenging and rewarding education offered by the university.

For those living within commuting distance of NYUS, we strongly encourage participation in a career seminar and an in-person interview with an admissions representative.

Students who have been admitted may be required to meet with an academic advisor to discuss the need for preparatory courses (if applicable) and to complete their first-semester registration.

The primary mission of academic advising is to ensure that each student gains the maximum educational and professional benefit from their studies. At NYUS, Academic Advisors are dedicated to:

1. Helping students pursue the best possible educational opportunities.

2. Enhancing the student’s ability to make sound academic and career decisions.

3. Advocating for students in their interactions with other university offices.

4. Supporting the institution’s educational philosophy and policies.

5. Maintaining confidentiality while assisting students.
