Gallatin School of Individualized Study

The Gallatin School of Individualized Study offers academic flexibility, close personal advisement, and an extensive internship program. The School was established for highly motivated students who want to take charge of their college careers right from the start.

At Gallatin, you design your own curriculum around a core requirement of great books. You can combine your interests, even ones as diverse as business and the performing arts, and choose courses offered by other schools and colleges of NYU.

Internships and independent study will be important components of your program. In addition, you can broaden your education and earn credit for structured work experiences in many fields, including health care, journalism, theatre production, music education, radio, television and film, community affairs, law, and government.
