NEW YORK UNIVERSITY OF PROFESSIONAL
NYU Professional Education provides continuing education courses and lifelong learning opportunities for science, engineering, and technology professionals at all levels, from around the world. Worthy of note is that NYU professors and lecturers lead and teach all NYU Professional Education offerings. Some of our programs have a long history, others are relatively new.
The Advanced Study Program enrolls professionals who desire to take regular, credit-bearing NYU courses for one or more semesters on campus in Cambridge.
Short Programs, formerly called “Summer Sessions,” draws more than 1500 global participants to campus each year to attend some 50 short courses, 2-5 days long, offered primarily in the summer.
Some of our short courses are offered in a growing number of international locations through International Programs.
Companies and organizations engage NYU Professional Education to develop tailor-made Custom Programs that range from a day to a yearlong sequence of sessions, delivered on or off campus.
And our newest offering, Digital Plus Programs, blend cutting-edge content delivered using the best of online technology and traditional classroom instruction, to enable effective learning outcomes in a flexible, collaborative learning environment.
All NYU Professional Education courses offer certificates, and Continuing Education Units (CEUs); some offer NYU credit in addition.
The NYU Professional Education mission is to provide a gateway to renowned NYU research, knowledge and expertise for working professionals engaged in science and technology worldwide, through advanced education programs designed for them.
The programs are delivered by NYU faculty and promote technical excellence through ongoing educational engagement with communities of practice. NYU Professional Education fosters the development of innovative leaders equipped to address complex problems globally.
NYU Professional Education is central to NYU’s vision. It fulfills the mandate to connect practitioner-oriented education with industry, and to incorporate industry feedback and knowledge into NYU education and research.
The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to apply this knowledge for the benefit of humankind.
The NYU Professional Education office, established under NYU’s largest school, the School of Engineering in 2002, builds on decades of NYU’s outreach to science and engineering professionals.
NYU first began offering summer study in 1898, primarily as an extension of regular courses and a preparation for incoming students. In 1949, NYU established a Summer Session Office to expand special summer offerings specifically for industries such as textiles, spectroscopy, and petroleum engineering. Over the years, NYU’s summer focus has turned toward professional education. Today’s Short Programs draws more than 1500 students a year to short courses spanning a wide array of topics from innovation and entrepreneurship to biotechnology, information technologies, data modeling and systems engineering.
