Global Liberal Studies accepts external transfer applicants for the Fall and Spring semesters. The maximum amount of credits a student can transfer to the program is 32. Students in this program are required to study at one of NYU’s global academic centers during their junior year. As a result, you can expect to spend at least three years at NYU to complete your Global Liberal Studies degree, regardless of when you transfer.

At this time, the Core Program in Liberal Studies only accepts first-year applicants.

If you already have a Bachelor’s degree and would like to complete another degree at the Rory Meyers College of Nursing, please visit the 2nd Bachelor’s degree page.

Students who already hold an RN License are not eligible to apply to Meyers for a bachelor degree program, but are welcome to apply as transfers to any of NYU's other undergraduate programs.

No additional requirements.

All programs offer admission for the fall semester. The following programs do not offer admission to spring external transfers:

• Media, Culture, and Communication
• Music Business
• Music Theory and Composition

If you are applying to a Music and Performing Arts program or to Studio Art, an audition or portfolio is required.

• Music and Performing Arts: Audition procedures and requirements are available on the Steinhardt Music & Performing Arts professions website. To expedite the scheduling of your audition, we recommend you apply by two weeks prior to the admission deadline.
• Studio Art: You are required to submit a portfolio with an artist statement directly to the Studio Art program. Detailed portfolio submission requirements are available on the Studio Art website.
  

Admission for external transfer students to Stern is extremely competitive. Nearly all of our available space is given to applicants who are already students at NYU. The maximum amount of credits you can carry over to Stern from your previous institution(s) is 64 credits.

To be considered as a transfer applicant to Stern, you must:

• Apply for the fall semester only;
• Be in your first-year or sophomore year; and
• Have completed or in the process of completing the required coursework below.

Required Coursework for Transfers

If you wish to transfer into the sophomore year at Stern, you should have completed the following at your current institution:

• Calculus I or higher
• Writing/Composition (1-2 semesters)

If you wish to transfer into the junior year at Stern, you should have completed the following at your current institution:

• Calculus I or higher
  • Classes for non-math majors do not satisfy this requirement
  • You may use a score of 4 or 5 on AP BC Calculus, a 6 or 7 on a higher-level IB Math, or an A or B in GCE A-level math to satisfy this requirement
• Writing/Composition (1-2 semesters)
• Introductory-level Microeconomics
  • Blended, one-semester microeconomics-macroeconomics courses are not sufficient
• Statistics and Regression
  • Acceptance of your statistics credit would depend on passing a Stern proficiency exam after admission
• Financial Accounting

Notes:

• You can review the NYU courses that satisfy our prerequisites here so that you can determine the comparability of the courses at your institution(s).
• Completing the above prerequisites at your current institution does not guarantee transfer of credit. Certain business courses will require passing a Stern Proficiency exam after admission.
• We will not transfer any AP credit your current school may have awarded in AB Calculus, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Statistics, or English Language.
