Short Term Study Abroad - J-term, Spring Break, Summer
Due to Tandon's sometimes strict degree requirements, students may need to adhere to a strict four-year plan, making it difficult to study abroad for an entire semester. If this is the case, yet you want to participate in an international experience prior to graduation, you may want to look into studying abroad through one of the many Short Term Study Abroad programs available at NYU.
Tandon Specific Opportunities
Tandon Exclusive Short Term Study Abroad Programs (J-Term and Summer)
The following opportunities have been developed by Tandon specifically for Tandon students. The staff at Tandon Global, are continuously working to develop global opportunities for upperclassmen during J-term, spring break, and summer. The following courses provide students an opportunity to immerse themselves in a focused academic topic taught by NYU Tandon faculty members with a required travel component.
Some examples of programs that have run in the past include:
