Educational Opportunities
NYU and KAIST are developing a range of educational opportunities at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including study away, dual degree programs, and joint degree programs.
Study Away at KAIST
NYU undergraduates are able to spend a semester away at KAIST’s beautiful 350-acre campus in Daejeon, South Korea, with class offerings in industrial design, artificial intelligence, and culture, technology, and emerging media, among other fields. Classes are taught in English.

Unique to this program, students may fulfill a KAIST degree requirement by completing the curriculum of an approved NYU minor.
KAIST students with general inquiries about studying at NYU as well as questions about the KAIST-NYU minor program can email Bobin Kim.
Dual Degrees
KAIST and NYU have begun to develop a number of dual-degree programs. These programs will allow students to complete the requirements for two degrees — one from each institution — in reduced time and with a unique cross-continental profile.
Future Vision
The two universities aim to craft a cutting-edge approach to interdisciplinary, socially and globally minded, problem-driven engineering education that will prepare emerging scientists to use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven techniques to model and solve real-world problems in the 21st century. Grounded in a philosophical and ethical frameworks, this education will combine academic strengths from both institutions. It will be coupled with access to unparalleled industrial partnerships and a global network of research and teaching facilities. Students will receive an experience available only at NYU and KAIST.
