Parents & Families

Welcome LS families!

We recognize the important role parents and families have in supporting students leading up to, and after beginning, their NYU education. All of you are members of the Liberal Studies community, made up of friends and families around the world. We hope to connect with you in many ways, both virtually and in-person. If you have questions, feedback or need information, please utilize the many resources NYU makes available to parents and families, or contact us at ls.parents@nyu.edu.

Each year, NYU invites the families of new first-year and transfer students, as well as families of sophomores returning from FYA sites, to Parents Day. Events include an academic program, a number of workshops and Open Houses, and a reception hosted by the NYU Parents Council and President Andrew Hamilton. Your day begins with the Liberal Studies academic program, where you will learn more about the LS great works core curriculum and the outcomes of an LS education. You will also have the unique opportunity to experience firsthand an LS class, taught by one of our distinguished faculty members.
