"New York University school of social work is a unique experience because faculty come and teach as professors from diverse social services agencies in New York City. So you get a chance to receive some insight into the working professional field of social worker. The program also focuses in depth on critical thinking and review of policy and clinical practice, its a especially great program if you want to focus on the clinical side of social work and become a better clinical writer for programs that require medical billing or research studies ."

"Fresh off the plane from Accra, Ghana, I find myself home recovering from what has been a rushed yet rewarding semester. For the past six months, I have been enrolled in NYUs Cross-Continental MPH program, an accelerated MPH program that takes place on three continents. The first semester was in Washington, D.C., where I spent the summer learning foundational subjects like Epidemiology, the Biology of Public Health, and Biostatistics while attending public health conferences in the nations capital. After that, we were whisked off to Ghana, where I was forced to swiftly and comprehensively adjust to life in another part of the world. As a student in the Global Health concentration, this is exactly the type of experience I was looking for when I began my applications last year. A fully immersive, hands-on public health experience that prepares me for a job in my chosen field. While in Ghana, with the help of NYU, I interned at Marie Stopes International, an NGO that provides sexual and reproductive health services to women and girls all over the globe. I spent my work days learning about, and contributing to, active public health education and marketing campaigns, incorporating data analysis strategies that I learned at a weekly software training program at the University of Ghana. The skills I gained there are highly applicable to the real world and have instantly made me a marketable candidate for coveted jobs in the nonprofit and private sectors. And possibly more valuable, I feel, was experiencing West Africa as a resident and a health worker; something that I believe has made me a more open-minded and compassionate human being. I will spend the rest of my winter break recovering from jet lag and seeing friends and family, before I again leave the country to attend my third and final semester. In Florence, Italy, I will attempt to learn another language while attending courses like Human Rights and Migration Health in the Mediterranean and finishing my thesis in gender policy. Braced for a challenge and ready to adjust to life in yet another country, I am honestly honored and thrilled for these opportunities that I would otherwise have not been given. For someone who has a burgeoning interest in the health sciences or the sociology of medicine, or even for someone who is merely interested in living abroad, I would highly recommend this program. To those considering it, I would say that you will find yourself armed with essential skills in public health and a newfound altruistic appreciation for humanity as a whole."

"I am part of the 16 month accelerated program, which can offer students like me a faster route to starting their second career. New York University has allowed me to achieve more in academia and in my personal life, through developing greater awareness to concepts of oppression, human rights, and a sense of responsibility to dismantle systems of oppression. I am constantly inspired by other students and professors in the school of social work that are motivated to help promote social justice."

  • Degree: Communications (Public Relations)
"NYU's Public Relations and Corporate Communications program is a great choice for those looking to expand upon their knowledge of the communications field. The most beneficial aspects of the program are absolutely the relationships you make with classmates and instructors, who have lead me to career opportunities while I was still working towards the degree. Solid program, with room for improvement (which is happening; the program improves each semester)."

  • Degree: Social Psychology
"The Social & Consumer Psychology Masters Program at NYU is located within the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (GSAS). The program is a 2 year program with classes given at night, which benefits someone like me who is working full-time. The program offers courses on interesting and diverse topics, such as Psychology of Social Media, Psychology of Branding, Psychology of Market Diversity, Consumer Research Methods, Cognitive Neuroscience and Statistics to name a few. The connections I have made and the knowledge I have gained has been worth the expense of a higher degree."

  • Degree: Occupational Therapy
"New York University's Occupational Therapy program was packed with skilled, caring, devoted and experienced professors. The structure of the program was on point from the very beginning, prior to entering. Great attention was given to counsel students prior to entering so that readiness was achieved. The coursework was sequenced so that it built upon previously learned material, and prepared students for success in field work. At the end of the program, I felt ready for clinical experiences. Upon graduation, I was offered a job (where I completed my fieldwork) and quickly climbed the ranks there. Attending NYU's OT program was one of the best life decisions I have ever made, and I recommend it highly."

"As a graduate student in the NYU Stern School of Business part-time MBA program I feel as though I have just as many resources and opportunities available to me as full-time students do. The part time program at NYU has a large range of specializations to choose from, a long list of clubs and student groups to join, and top notch professors. I have never felt shorted by the experience as a part-time program and I know I am getting an amazing education while still working full time to support myself through school. I would absolutely recommend the NYU part-time MBA program to anyone considering going back to school for an MBA but not able to go full-time."

"From August, 2008 to May, 2012 I attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and majored in Dramatic Writing. I graduated with a BA in Dramatic Writing and a minor in Producing. When I entered the Dramatic Writing undergraduate program, I intended to pursue a concentration in screenwriting, but towards the end of my sophomore year my interests shifted to playwriting. At Tisch (and NYU in general) you are forced to be independent, assertive, and proactive. In order to network and make connections with your peers at Tisch, its essential to immerse yourself in the community and participate in as many social and academic programs as you can. Unlike other schools, NYU has a diverse community, but in order to engage with that community you must seek out those opportunities. Additionally, NYU has many student resources, but to utilize them you must actively find them and take advantage of their availability. For instance, there was several programs available to first generation and multicultural students at NYU that I was unaware of and regret not participating in. I also should have utilized more of NYU's student services, such as tutoring at the Learning Center. In conclusion, my experience at Tisch/NYU taught me that I needed to be more proactive and assertive in pursuing my goals and interests. While I sometimes wish I had attended a smaller institution, I'm grateful for the experience NYU taught me in becoming an independent and assertive individual."

  • Degree: School Counseling
"While NYU is a huge school, every professor in my program is extremely accessible. They want to aid in your learning process, and it is not anxiety inducing at all to ask questions. As expected with grad school, the work load involves a lot of reading and class discussion, but none of the assigned reading textbook/chapters seemed arbitrary. I don't have a class with more than 22 people in it, and I have multiple classes with less than 10. Excellent faculty to student ratio! The only way to improve my experience would be to lower the cost!"

"NYU CNS is a great program if you are 100% sure you want to pursue scientific research or medical school. The professors are very approachable and understanding, the courses are rigorous and informative, and there are many opportunities to get undergraduate research experience in a lab. However, the program is competetive and you need to be SURE that this is what you want to pursue. There isn't much cross-over between other disciplines unless the students makes it their perogative."

"This program is perfect for the working student. I personally preferred having my classes all take place "in-person" on campus. I have found that the support of students at NYU Rory Meyers is tremendous. My advisor specifically was there for any and all questions, concerns, problems, and issues. She has also been there for encouragement and leadership. The professors are knowledgeable and resourceful. I rarely felt that I was on my own during assignments. Also, the support from classmates during this program was tremendous. The students accepted into the program all have great work ethic and support each other throughout the program."

"With professors current in their fields and assistance almost round the clock, NYU Steinhardt has been a great experience in the heart of NYC perfect for studying art. When your professors work at MoMA and The Whitney while teaching you about the digital technologies and inner workings of art business, you're receiving current, real world knowledge as opposed to anything stockpiled on the textbook shelves."

"The decision to join the MS Accounting program at NYU Stern has been one of the best decisions that I have made in my life. The quality of the academics is unparalleled. Each professor is amazing in their own unique way and they are willing to go above and beyond to help their students inside and outside the classroom.

"Thus far, my experience at NYU has been a positive one. As a new student to the Masters program at Steinhardt, my program director/s and advisor have found creative ways to allow me to attend the university with unique circumstances. My advisor has helped me develop a course schedule fit for my needs and goals. While I do not officially begin at NYU until the Spring of 2018, I've been able to experience the culture and environment by living blocks away from campus. What attracts me most about NYU are the people, location, and the abroad opportunities. As an employed professional entering a new industry (music), I have come to learn how valuable it is to have a program and network like that of NYU's to help launch a career and get in the door. I've personally experienced the difficulty of breaking into a new field with only the backing of social capital (referrals) and a strong resume. Now more than ever am I thankful to have NYU by my side and in the city I call home to support me."

"The Acute Care Nurse Practitioner masters program at NYU is challenging but rewarding. All the graduate nursing professors are leaders in their fields and it is inspiring to even be exposed to the elite of nursing. They inspire you to get involved with legislation, professional organizations and become nursing leaders yourself. On the back end of that, while they are always available by email, some might not have plenty of office hours to spare, but that is very individual. Even so, I have been able to form relationships with many of my professors and still keep in touch with them semesters later. They take interest in guiding students in their career, which is really special. Now one should know, they should be ready to work, and work hard! There is no spoonfeeding here, but that is why all of New York City's top hospitals know that NYU NP graduates are competent, professional and marketable. With a family including young children and a full-time job, it has not been easy! But I am learning a tremendous amount, and the inspiration from the professors keep me going and give me a vision of what I can aspire to become one day. Being a part of the student body in the nurse practitioner program is being a part of a community. We support, help, guide, and lean on each other. I am so glad that I was accepted into this program, (it is competitive) and have the opportunity to obtain my education from NYU."

Aside from this school offering top quality education you will also get many useful tools that can help you along the way depending of your needs and goals.
