Our on-campus program places students in supervised field experiences both within and outside of New York State (NYS). New York University is authorized pursuant to the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) to enroll students in supervised field experiences in the SARA states and territories. For further details regarding NYU's SARA membership please visit the NYU State Authorization website. SARA requires universities to disclose to applicants and students whether programs that lead to professional licensure meet the educational requirements for licensure in those states in which students are doing learning placements.
Our department conducts placement activity in the following states outside New York State and has made the following determination with respect to professional licensure in those specific states.
If you are interested in having a placement or gaining licensure in a state not listed in the chart below, please contact Academic Fieldwork Coordinator Alison Rangel at 212-998-5832 or alison.rangel@nyu.edu to discuss if this is possible.
