Admissions
At NYU SPS, we know that earning a degree at any stage of your career or life is an important decision. Our job focuses on ensuring you are prepared to make educated choices that lead to amazing outcomes. We'll guide you every step of the way, focusing on what matters most—providing an NYU education that opens doors to meaningful work and life-long learning.
Undergraduate Degrees
With an NYUSPS undergraduate education, you will build an academic and professional foundation for a lifetime.
We offer three traditional undergraduate degrees in real estate, hotel and tourism management, and sports management. Admissions for these programs is handled through NYU Admissions. These degrees provide a stellar NYU education combined with an immersive approach to professional studies in emerging industries.
For post-traditional students—those who may have started a degree, taken a break, and now seek to return to school to complete their studies; or those who are considering earning a degree for the first time but who are not pursuing a traditional path—the NYUSPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies (DAUS) provides programs of study that afford a comprehensive learning experience, while providing the support you need to balance the obligations of a busy personal and professional life. Admissions for DAUS programs is handled through the NYUSPS Office of Admissions.
