Begin Earning Your Associate’s Degree in the New Year
and Do it Affordably!
Perhaps you or someone
you know has thought
about earning an associate’s
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 (NYUSPS) Division
of Applied Undergraduate
Studies offers a truly affordable
option for earning an associates
degree. In order to
encourage students to begin
college studies or return to
school, NYUSPS has lowered
the cost on its associate’s
degrees, which are
now comparable in price to
earning a degree at a local
community college. Scholarships
also are available
for those who qualify.
NYUSPS associate’s degrees
are designed for students
who have earned a
high school diploma at least
one year ago (students entering
this program are typically
19 years or older, with
many in their 20s, 30s, and
40s). These degrees serve
as an introduction to a professional
career or as the
first major milestone in a
student’s college education.
Upon graduation, the credits
students earn are transferable
to the Division’s bachelors
degree programs, allowing
them to seamlessly
complete the next phase of
their education. The associate’s
degrees are perfect for
students 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, NYUSPS makes
it easy. All new students
are assigned an academic
adviser who provides assistance,
support, and a sense
of confidence in academic
choices. Faculty advisement
and tutoring services also
are available.
The NYUSPS Division
of Applied Undergraduate
Studies offers four associates
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 the job market or for
additional studies at the baccalaureate
level.
Classes held during days
and evenings, intensives, and
online degrees and courses
cater to students who are often
balancing personal and
professional responsibilities.
NYUSPS associates 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.
This is truly an exceptional
opportunity to earn
an associate’s degree at 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!
