Credit
Academic credit for the NYU Shanghai January Term program is treated like any other credit awarded for coursework at NYU. The courses will be recorded on the student’s NYU transcript, and the final grades from such courses will be calculated into a student’s NYU grade point average (GPA). It is your responsibility to work with your home school academic advisor and major department to determine whether and how a course might count towards your degree requirements.
Eligibility
Undergraduate students from NYU New York, NYU Abu Dhabi, and visiting students from other accredited institutions are welcome to apply. Students must have completed at least one semester at an undergraduate institution to be eligible to apply. An integrated review of an applicant's academic background and University record is required to confirm admission. Students with a 3.0 cumulative GPA or above are encouraged to apply. Students with lower GPAs are encouraged to provide information on their academic goals in their personal statements.
Please note that due to visa policies, we are not currently able to accept applications from students who would need a visa to enter China.
