New York University's global campuses—with full degree-granting programs in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai alongside portal sites in 12 additional cities—make it genuinely the world's most international university, allowing students to spend semesters studying in different global centers as part of a single integrated degree program. NYU's Greenwich Village location places students in the heart of New York City's creative and intellectual life, and programs in film, the arts, business, and law benefit directly from the proximity of the world's most important media, finance, and cultural institutions. For international students who want both American degree prestige and genuine global educational experiences, NYU's network and location offer a combination that is uniquely compelling.
