LS International Programs for Freshmen

LS has first-year programs in Florence, London, and Paris. Students in the international programs enroll in three full-year core courses (Cultural Foundations, Social Foundations, and Writing) and electives designed to enhance their international experience (for example, Italian language in Florence).

Each LS study abroad site has unique advantages in addition to its location. LS in London allows students access to certain introductory CAS laboratory science courses, so it is particularly appropriate for prehealth students and those majoring in science. LS in Florence enjoys a spectacular setting, Villa La Pietra, a complex of Renaissance buildings on a hill about a mile from the center of the city. The Paris program is offered in conjunction with the American University of Paris, where students have full access to an especially broad range of elective courses.

At the completion of their freshman year abroad, students matriculate as LS sophomores in New York. Students who meet the minimum GPA of 3.0 (B) or better, and who meet other program requirements, transfer as juniors to the NYU baccalaureate school or college to which they originally applied.

LS International Programs for Sophomores

NYU encourages every undergraduate to have an international experience. LS offers 160 of its sophomores an extraordinary array of opportunities for study abroad for one semester at one of three NYU international sites: Florence, London, or Paris. Students interested in sophomore study abroad should consult with the LS Advising Center during the spring semester of freshman year to ensure that they plan their academic programs to make the best use of their international experience.

Other Study Abroad Opportunities

LS students also may participate in NYU Summer Study Abroad programs, some of which are offered by LS faculty. In addition, after their transfer from LS, juniors and seniors may study at one of eight NYU Study Abroad sites: Berlin, Florence, Ghana, London, Madrid, Paris, Prague, or Shanghai. LS students who are members of the Dean’s Circle University Scholars program also have an international travel experience.
