New York University (NYU)

Overview of New York University (NYU)

---

To serve a large student body, this university needs a large faculty. The total faculty stands at 5,723. Once students begin their classes at NYU, they will be able to venture out beyond the university to learn about their new home—New York has many sights to see. These include the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty National Monument. If they don’t want to go to the dining center for a meal, they can go off-campus and enjoy a meal in the city, though costs are high in the city so they may not want to do so too often.

NYU Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

The sticker price (tuition, fees, books, supplies, room/board, and other) is around $75,500. For a family that can’t afford this, they may think that it’s too expensive for their student to attend BYU. However, if the student fills out the FAFSA and learns they do qualify for financial aid, these awards can bring down the final cost considerably.

The average net price, the tuition and fees remaining once financial aid has gone into effect, for a recent academic year was around $39,900. You can see it broken down by family income below.

Federal and institutional financial aid is awarded to 45% percent of freshman students. Grants or scholarships are paid to 2,716 or 45%, with an average award of $29,832. Institutional grants and scholarships coming from NYU are paid to 2,641 or 44% of students. The average award is $27,303.

Academics

---

NYU posts a 94% retention rate; this means that most freshmen return to the university after their first academic year of instruction. The 4-year graduation rate is 76% and the 6-year graduation rate is 9 points higher at 85%. This follows a national trend toward students spending longer in their degree programs before graduation.

The student-to-faculty ratio stands at 9 to 1, which makes it somewhat easier for students to have one-on-one time with their professors, should they have difficulty with one of their classes.

The total student body was mentioned earlier as including more than 50,000 students; undergraduates make up 26,733 members of the student body. Graduate students are a little less than one-half that number, at 25,114. Evening classes are not offered to undergraduates or graduates at NYU. Instead, students who hold down daytime jobs are able to access classes via online classes.

The most popular degree programs at NYU include biological and biomedical sciences; business, management, marketing, and related support services; communication journalism and related programs; and computer and information sciences and support services. Other majors that are offered here include education, engineering technology and engineering-related fields, English language and literature/letters, foreign languages and linguistics, health professions and related programs, legal professions and studies, liberal arts and humanities, mathematics and statistics, psychology, public administration and social service professions, social sciences, and visual and performing arts.
