Double majors, pending approval by the other department, may use up to two cross-listed courses for both majors. Overseas study is encouraged, but the student must consult with the International Programs Office to see which programs have NYU approval. Before the student embarks, the Dean's office and advisor must approve the course work that will be taken. The Department will accept no more than four courses taken outside the University toward the major. Students should be informed as early as possible in their undergraduate career about the possibilities for honors.
Advanced planning is needed to complete the required graduate courses and to write a thesis.
Advisors should ask students to fill in an interview form. The advisor must submit the form to MES Administrator, who then enters the data in the NYU database. The interview form remains part of the student's file. Advisors may e-mail a short letter explaining the circumstances and the substitution to the DUGS who will submit a version of it to the Registrar's office.
