Students in the International Education program are passionate about international work, and New York City is the perfect backdrop to make meaningful contributions.
On a typical day, you can find IE Master’s students engaging in their field-of-study through a number of different opportunities, both on- and off-campus. Students participate in engaging courses, hear from guest speakers, and contribute to research projects like the Journal on Education in Emergencies.
Outside of the classroom, students attend conferences, visit sites like the Institute of International Education and the NYC United Nations Headquarters, and help undergraduates have the experience of a lifetime at the NYU Office of Global Programs.
