NYU Steinhardt embraces diversity and interculturalism both inside the classroom and around the world.
The Office of Global Affairs provides opportunities for students to cultivate intercultural perspectives, academic and artistic excellence, and an appreciation for differences across sectors of human development. We offer an array of interdisciplinary courses that provide immersion in global contexts, contact with local experts, and experiential learning across the fields of health, visual and performing arts, media, and education.
Undergraduate Study Abroad
A critical part of an NYU education is learning how to respectfully and efficiently engage globally. Develop a greater intercultural understanding, and challenge yourself to bring humanity closer together through an understanding of differences and similarities by studying a semester abroad.
Graduate Study Abroad
Undertake a transformative global experience and develop a new intercultural perspective as part of your graduate degree. Our short-term intensive programs offer the opportunity to learn from experts in the field, earn academic credit, and expand your network.
Study Abroad Experience
Integrate international perspectives into your Steinhardt degree program and complete required or elective coursework. Forge connections with expert faculty, international professionals, local experts, and students from multiple disciplines while gaining hands-on experience in the field.
Sample program activities:
- Visit a local Ministry of Education and meet with education policymakers
- Experience a hands-on theatre workshop led by host country experts
- Visit a community rehabilitation center and analyze the local health system in comparison with the US system
- Learn about the impact of local culture on international music markets at a music management company
"Being fully immersed in the environment helped me understand the culture in a way that wouldn’t have been possible in a classroom alone. I learned how to engage in meaningful conversations, and exploring how different cultural practices and norms shape people’s worldviews was truly eye-opening."
Jui K., Cross-Cultural Counseling in Accra
"My advice to anyone considering a program like this is: go for it. You’ll grow academically, professionally, and personally in ways you can’t imagine."
