External Program Information

Do you plan to enroll in an NYU course or individualized project during the semester in which you will pursue your external study?

Please contact your program if these details are not readily available on their website.

Please submit a 250-500-word personal statement explaining how this particular program or courses relate to your concentration and how it will enhance your education. As a reminder, Gallatin’s residency requirement stipulates that undergraduates must complete their final 32 credits in residence at NYU. If you intend to complete your external study during this period, your statement should also address why you are petitioning to be waived from the residency requirement.
