Unfortunately, the Graduate School of Arts and Science does not fund candidates for the Master of Arts degree, only candidates for the doctorate. Though we don't suggest it as the only option, many of our students rely on student loans to finance their education. NYU.EDU Please also consult the Draper web site for a list of URLs about scholarships and other awards. There are also many courses not crosslisted with Draper that our students are welcome to take. Some classes are designated exclusively for upper-level PhD students.
Some classes have limits on enrollment and give first priority to the department s students.
Science, mathematics, and economics courses require that you demonstrate adequate prerequisite training. Students often choose to take courses during the summer as well, in one or both of two summer sessions. The average time to degree is about two years, but the Graduate School allows up to five years from the first semester of enrollment. Because Draper student interest is so eclectic, there is not a typical alumnus profile. Many students make a successful transition into PhD programs, usually with full funding.
