On-Campus Courses

The Office of Summer and Study Abroad works with departments to assist in planning, promotion and advertising (in coordination with the Center for Study Abroad and Special Sessions), summer budgets, and summer instructor appointments.

Precollege Program

The Arts & Science Summer office also coordinates the Precollege Program during Summer Session II, an initiative of the Summer Sessions office in which a highly selective group of high school students take one regular college course for credit with regular college-aged students. Students may also take the Precollege Writing Workshop, a focused non-credit course designed for the program by the Expository Writing Program. Each fall, we request permission of the department chair and DUGS for courses we wish to offer to Precollege students.

YIVO

A special summer program overseen by the Arts & Science Summer office is the YIVO intensive Yiddish program. The Hebrew and Judaic studies department has partnered with the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research to offer this intensive Yiddish language and culture program in summer.

Writers in NY

Writers in New York offers poets and fiction writers an opportunity to develop their craft while living the writer's life in Greenwich Village. The NYU Creative Writing Program is housed in a lovely townhouse in the same neighborhood where so many writers including Mark Twain, E.E. Cummings, James Baldwin, Willa Cather, Marianne Moore, Richard Wright, and Frank O'Hara have lived and worked. Writing and reading assignments are designed to encourage immersion in the city. Students in the program work intensively to generate new writing, study great literary works by other writers, and participate in a lively series of readings, lectures, literary walking tours, publishing panels, and special events, including The Paris Review Summer Salon.
