Additional Program Requirements for Internal Transfers

• Students interested in applying to internal transfer to CAS are permitted to do so for either the Fall & Spring Semester. If a student has been denied to internally transfer to CAS, they are welcome to reapply for the following semester.
• Students must be in good academic standing in their current school/college.

We do not have prerequisites that are required for any of our programs in CAS, however, we may pay closer attention to courses that are relevant to the student’s intended major.

Exception: Current students in Applied Mathematics at the Tandon School of Engineering cannot apply to internally transfer to Mathematics, Computer Science and Mathematics, Data Science and Mathematics, or Economics and Mathematics in the College of Arts and Science. If you have any questions, please contact your academic advisor.

Students interested in the Data Science major should email cds-undergraduate@nyu.edu as early as possible for academic planning support.

• The Concentration Planning Worksheet (CPW) is a brief essay and a proposed course schedule that the Gallatin faculty will review to determine whether your plans are academically appropriate and can be feasibly completed in two years. 
• Current NYU students meeting any of the following statuses are required to complete the Concentration Planning Worksheet:
  • 64 credits is the maximum amount of credits that students are able to transfer into Gallatin. Students who have earned more than 64 credits can apply, but will need to forfeit additional credits once they matriculate to Gallatin.
  • Rising juniors (students who will have completed 64 or more credits at the start of their next semester of study at NYU, including, AP, IB, college courses taken while in high school, or other advance standing)
  • Students who have already completed 48 or more units, including: AP, IB, college courses taken while in high school, or other advanced standing AND are enrolled in current coursework.
  • Students who have already completed three or more college/university semesters at the time of application
  • Students in the Liberal Studies Core Program who would like to start at Gallatin in the Spring or Fall
• CPW Deadlines:
  • March 1 - for Summer or Fall admission

  • December 1 - for Summer or Fall admission (current LS Core Program students only)

• Ideally, internal transfer students will begin planning for their transfer during the fall semester of their first-year.
• For students in the Liberal Studies Core Program: complete four semesters of full-time enrollment and be in good academic standing before transitioning to Meyers.
  • Any of the six Nursing prerequisite classes taken prior to transition need to be completed with a “C” or better. The six prerequisites are APSY-UE 1271, CHEM-UA 120, NURSE-UN 70, NURSE-UN 75, NURSE-UN 80, and NUTR-UE 119.
