GSAS Application 2015
Programs, Requirements, and Deadlines
Please carefully read our application instructions for a complete description of all application
requirements and policies. The instructions are available in two places:
Step 1. Instructions in the online application
On the web at our Application Resource Center at
http://gsas.nyu.edu/page/grad.admissionsapplication.html

All applicants to the Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) are required to submit a complete application for
admission. In addition to the application form questions, a complete application includes academic transcripts, test
scores, letters of recommendation, a résumé or curriculum vitae, a statement of purpose, and the application fee.
APPLICATION DEADLINES
All application materials must be received by 5 p.m. eastern time on the deadline date. Deadline dates are provided
for each program in the section labeled “Application Deadlines.” If an application deadline falls on a Saturday,
Sunday or legal U.S. holiday, then the next business day will be the deadline date.
TEST SCORE REQUIREMENTS






The Graduate School requires that applicants submit official test scores for the general test of the Graduate
Record Examination (GRE) unless an exception is specifically noted under program-specific requirements.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of all applicants who are not native English
speakers (this requirement is waived if the applicant has completed a baccalaureate or master’s degree at an
institution where the language of instruction is English).
The Graduate School requires official test scores for the GRE and TOEFL. Self-reported test scores and
copies of test score reports from the GRE and TOEFL programs are not considered official. Official test
scores must be sent to us directly from the GRE or TOEFL program; make sure they are sent to New York
University—GSAS, code 2596. Refer to the application instructions for complete information about how to
properly submit official test scores to the Graduate School.
Full details about the testing policies are available in our FAQ on testing in the Application Resource Center.
Please read the information carefully.

PROGRAM-SPECIFIC APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
The following pages include program-specific application requirements that are in addition to the requirements
noted above.






The Graduate School requires that you apply by using the online application. (Certain applicants to non-degree
programs are not able to use the online application. Refer to Application Policies in the Application Resource
Center.)
If a program recommends or requires a subject test of the GRE, it is specified in the section labeled “GRE and
TOEFL.”
If a program requires a writing sample, it is described. Please note that the writing sample is in addition to the
personal statement that is a standard part of the application.
If a program has any other special requirements, they will be listed.
Applicants to dual degree programs (programs offered by GSAS and another school at NYU, such as the
School of Law, Medicine, Business, or Public Service) must apply to each school separately. Admission to the
dual degree program is contingent upon acceptance by both schools.

FIELD OF STUDY DESCRIPTIONS
The field of study descriptions may not exactly match the actual program name on the degree that is conferred.
Please refer to the GSAS bulletin section Degree and Certificate Programs as Registered by the New York State Education
