Frequently Asked Questions
Are adult students welcome at NYU SPS?
Yes. The NYU SPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies offers flexible, supportive pathways for undergraduate students who are at least one semester past high school graduation. Many transfer from another school or previously started college and took time off for work, military, or family obligations. Others are beginning their college journey for the first time. Those who have not earned any college credit may apply for entry in the spring semester. All other students may apply for spring, summer or fall entry.
Can I easily transfer credits from other schools into NYU SPS undergraduate degrees?
Yes, we make it easy to transfer up to 80 credits for a bachelor’s degree and 60 credits for an associate’s degree. You may also be eligible for credit from prior learning on the job, in the military, or from tests like College Board Examination Program (CLEP), Foreign Language Proficiency Testing, and Advanced Placement examinations.
