Undergraduate Semester Away

Start Planning Your Semester Away

You don’t need to have it all figured out, just take the first step:

• Explore Course Equivalencies

• Talk to Your Advisor

• Submit an Interest Form

Your NYU Steinhardt experience doesn’t have to stay in New York. Spend a semester at one of NYU’s global sites while continuing to make progress toward your degree. Whether you want to complete major requirements, explore electives, or immerse yourself in a new culture, studying away is designed to fit into your academic plan without delaying graduation.

Why Study Away

• Stay on track with your major and Core Curriculum
• Learn in smaller, global classrooms and real-world settings
• Build cross-cultural skills employers value
• Expand your NYU experience and network across continents

Plan with Confidence

We’ve done the planning work so you don’t have to.

Many courses at NYU global sites are pre-approved to count toward your Core Curriculum and major requirements. You’ll work closely with your academic advisor to select courses that align with your degree progress.

Global Pathways 

All Steinhardt programs offer Global Pathways; recommended sites where you can take courses that directly fulfill your major and electives.
