Liberal Studies offers you the incredible opportunity to begin NYU with a year in Florence, London, Madrid, or Washington, DC.
Studying away from Washington Square as a first-year student allows you to maximize NYU’s global network while gaining distinctive academic and personal experience.
Each First Year Away (FYA) program fits seamlessly with the LS core curriculum and Global Liberal Studies program at Washington Square. You will take core curriculum courses in Writing, Arts and Cultures, and Global Works and Society in one of the world’s most historic cities, as well as choose from courses that engage you with the language or culture of your new city.
