Plan of Study, First-year Students

Undergraduate students may enroll in as many as (but no more than) 24 total internship units during their undergraduate course of study, and as many as (but no more than) four internship units per semester.

No more than 31 units in business courses can count towards the Gallatin BA degree. This includes, but is not limited to: all courses in the Stern School; business courses in the School of Professional Studies, NYU Shanghai, and NYU Abu Dhabi; and business courses transferred from other colleges and universities.

Undergraduate students may not take more than 24 credits in private lessons during their studies at the Gallatin School. Included in this total will be units earned from Gallatin Private Lessons (INDIV-UG 1701) as well as units earned from Steinhardt music courses noted as “individual instruction in the performing arts” (e.g., Participation in NYU Orchestra, Private Vocal Training, etc.).

After matriculation at Gallatin students generally are not permitted to receive credit for Liberal Studies (-UF) courses. If you are a student completing the GLS minor, you may petition to have this rule waived

Gallatin students will only receive credit for SPS courses in areas of study that are generally not offered at other schools of NYU.

Most courses may be taken one time only for credit toward the BA, unless the course has been approved to be repeated for credit.

Students may register for a maximum of 18 units per fall or spring and a maximum of 8 units per six-week summer session. Students may request permission to exceed this load, provided that they have at least a 3.0 GPA, no incomplete grades and adviser approval. Students enrolling for more than 18 units in fall or spring will be assessed additional tuition charges (see the Web site of the Office of the Bursar for additional tuition and fee charges).
