Campus

NYU Paris's campus is situated in the former facilities of the École spéciale des travaux publics at 57 boulevard Saint-Germain in the Latin Quarter of the 5th arrondissement, which were purchased by NYU in 2014. [4]

The eight-floor campus is shared with Librairie Eyrolles, one of the largest specialized bookshops in Paris. It also hosts the NYU Paris Library and an auditorium.

Campus History

New York University first established a campus in Paris in September 1969, installing a small group of students and faculty in the offices of the Franco-American Fulbright Commission at 9 rue Chardin in the 16th arrondissement. [5] Seeking more spacious facilities, the campus subsequently moved to the top floor of the France-Amériques centre on the avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 8th arrondissement. In 1974 the university acquired a standalone house at 56 rue de Passy, leased from the family of philosopher Jean-Marie Benoist. [6]

Academic programs

NYU Paris hosts students from New York University's three degree-granting campuses in New York City, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai, as well as study-abroad students from its partner universities in the United States. It offers courses in a variety of domains, many of which are documented below. [7]

NYU Paris courses are conducted in partnership with the faculties and schools of New York University in New York City. [8] Students may also take courses in the University of Paris system and at Sciences Po.

A virtual university provides higher education programs through electronic media, typically the Internet.

The goal of virtual universities is to provide access to the part of the population who would not be able to attend a physical campus, for reasons such as distance—in which students live too far from a physical campus to attend regular classes; and the need for flexibility—some students need the flexibility to study at home whenever it is convenient for them to do so.
