What are the graduation requirements at New York University?

Asked 3 months ago
Graduation requirements at New York University can vary depending on the specific school or program a student is enrolled in, as well as the degree being pursued. However, there are some common requirements that most students will encounter during their time at NYU. Typically, students must complete a designated number of credit hours, which usually ranges from around one hundred twenty to one hundred forty for undergraduate degrees. Students must also satisfy specific course requirements outlined by their school and major. This often includes core curriculum classes, major requirements, and, in some cases, elective courses. Most academic programs require a minimum cumulative grade point average, commonly around a 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, to ensure that students demonstrate sufficient academic performance. In addition to coursework, students may need to complete a capstone project, thesis, or comprehensive exam, depending on their program. For certain degree paths, particularly in fields such as education or the sciences, there may also be practical components like internships or clinical experiences that students must complete. Lastly, students are often required to fulfill residency requirements, meaning they must complete a certain number of credits directly at NYU, rather than transferring in from another institution. For precise information tailored to a particular program, students should refer to the specific requirements listed on the NYU website, which contains detailed guidelines and contact information for any further inquiries.
