AFFORDABLE NYU Associate Degrees That Empower
You to Reach Your Full Potential
Perhaps you or someone
you know has thought about
earning an associate degree,
but has not gotten around to
enrolling or even making
the time to investigate options.
Many people do not
know that the NYU School
of Professional Studies
(NYU SPS) Division of
Applied Undergraduate
Studies offers a truly affordable
option for earning
an associate degree. In order
to encourage students
to begin college studies or
return to school, NYU SPS
has lowered the cost on its
associate degrees, which
are now comparable in
price to earning a degree
at a local community college.
Scholarships also
are available for those
who qualify.
NYU SPS associate degrees
are designed for students
who have earned
a high school diploma at
least one year ago. Students
entering this program
are typically in their
20s, 30s, and 40s. These
degrees serve as a way
for those who are already
working to advance along
a career path or to prepare
for additional study at
the bachelor’s level. Upon
graduation, the credits
students earn are transferable
to the Division’s bachelor’s
degree programs, allowing
them to seamlessly
complete the next phase of
their education if they so
choose.
These associate degrees
are perfect for those individuals
who decided to take
a break after high school
or who stopped out of college
before earning at
least 45 transferable college
credits. While enrolling
in college later in life
can seem daunting, NYU
SPS makes it easy. All new
students are assigned an
academic adviser who will
provide assistance, support,
and a sense of confidence
in academic choices.
Faculty advisement and
tutoring services also are
available.
The NYU SPS Division
of Applied Undergraduate
Studies offers four associate
degrees: the AA in
Liberal Arts, the AAS
in Business, the AAS in
Health Administration,
and the AAS in Information
Systems Management.
Each of these
degrees provides a solid
liberal arts core—the hallmark
of the well-rounded
education that hiring managers
seek. From day one,
the professionally oriented
programs immerse students
in industry focused
content that readies them
for careers in fields with
jobs.
Classes held during the
evenings, intensives, and
online degrees and courses
cater to students who are
often balancing personal
and professional responsibilities.
NYU SPS associate
degree students also
benefit from career resources
offered through
their academic division,
as well as from career
development/management
services provided
through the NYU Wasserman
Center for Career
Development at the
NYU School of Professional
Studies. Resume
writing help, mock interviews,
and job search
tips are all part of the
package, along with access
to our job database.
This is truly an exceptional
opportunity to earn
an associate degree at
NYU, a world-renowned
institution of higher learning.
The education, resources,
and support these
programs provide are second
to none. You can do
this and we can help you
every step of the way!
