Program Requirements | NYU Tandon School of Engineering

Program Requirements

Overview

GLASS has experiences that are required of all GLASS students to ensure completion of the 5 windows. You’re encouraged to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible and utilize your funding to the maximum extent.

Throughout the program, you’ll be required to participate in the following:

  • GLASS 0-credit cohort seminars each semester
  • Global Tech class
  • Study away semester (sophomore spring)
  • GLASS-organized networking events
  • Tandon Board meetings or events
  • Service projects
  • Completion of all final deliverables
  • Additional programming developed by the GLASS coordinators

Students who do not fulfill these requirements will be dismissed from the GLASS program.

A 3.4 cumulative GPA is required to remain in good standing (one semester of program probation is allowed). Students with less than a 3.0 CGPA after the probation semester will automatically be dismissed from the program.

Students who are dismissed or who voluntarily withdraw from the program will be responsible for paying back any GLASS funding they have utilized up to that point.

GLASS is a three-year program. As such, students must commit to the full duration of the program. Unfortunately, students cannot participate in the GLASS program if they plan to graduate in less than four years.

Students should be ready and willing to invest the time and energy required to be successful in the GLASS Program. Through careful planning and clearly defined priorities and goals, students can take advantage of many opportunities offered at NYU outside of GLASS. However, GLASS should be a main priority. Students need to be realistic about how much to take on and to make tough decisions about what can be successfully accomplished during their time in the program.
