NYU Shanghai welcomes your interest in the Open Courses program, a new educational pathway that provides adult learners of all backgrounds who are attracted to in-person study on campus the opportunity to take various courses taught by distinguished NYU faculty on a non-degree basis.
The Open Courses program aims to be inclusive and accessible. Participants will join a community of diverse individuals who are curious, knowledge-seeking, and united by a spirit of continuous intellectual enrichment.
- Are you a professional in a given field or industry looking to upskill, expand your network, or learn about subjects on the cutting edge?

- Are you a NYU alum excited about reconnecting with university life or meeting like-minded people?
- Are you a current undergraduate or graduate student who would love an inspiring outlet for your co-curricular passions?
No matter who you are or what stage of life you may be at, NYU Shanghai has a place for you.
Every Open Course promises a stimulating classroom experience that will broaden your perspective. Participants can expect:
- Expert NYU professors who are dedicated instructors and accomplished scholars or practitioners in their fields
