Nyu School Of Continuing Education

I understand this does not hold nearly the prestige as regular NYU, I am confused if it offers graduate degrees or just schooling for students who already have a degrees looking for graduate work..ALSO if it does offer undergraduate degree work, do you recieve a NYU degree upon completion? ~thanks for the help!

"I understand this does not hold nearly the prestige as regular NYU"....??? The school of Continuing and Professional studies at NYU is a school within the University. It holds JUST AS MUCH WEIGHT. The school also offers several undergraduate programs.
Bachelor of Arts Degrees:
* Humanities
* Public Administration
* Social Sciences

Bachelor of Science Degrees:
* Digital Communications and Media
* Healthcare Management
* Information Systems Management
* Leadership and Management Studies
* Real Estate

The School of Continuing and Professional studies is geared toward adult learners and working adults who are looking degrees with a practical focus.Your degree will say New York University...don't worry...LOL

Find out if Loyola University Chicago's School of Continuing and Professional Studies offers degree and certificate programs that may be a ...

Hello:)
I am going to graduate in June and have to start looking for schools now! I am interested in Public Relations, Web Design, Graphic Design and well.. just all sorts of things. I came across the NYU website and was reading all of the different things that they offered in the "Continuing Education" section. I was originally planning to go for a Bachelors Degree in Writing or something but after speaking with family and others I decided that I didn't want to limit myself and would take a few certificate programs that I thought would work well together. Now for my questions!..

The continuing education programs offered in NYU. Do you need to have previous training of some sort? Or a degree or just something other than a High School Diploma? Also, do you receive a certificate at the completion of the courses you selected? For example, I was viewing a page on Public Relations. It has many things to choose but you have to take "two required courses" "1 PR writing course" and "2 electives." and for just those 5 things alone it said "Build My Certificate" and brought you to the following page which showed schedules and things.. Is that ALL you need to get a certificate? It seems almost too good to be true!

Has anyone taken courses in the Continuing Education program? Can you provide feedback on your experience?

Lastly, is it quite difficult to get into these programs since its NYU?

I will probably call the school within the next few weeks but I just wondered if anyone on here could help me out. :) Thanks ahead.

It is easy to get into NYU continuing education courses except for the relatively small number that has excess enrollment.

There are no requirements for admission other than the payment of fees.

The courses that you take are non-credit but you are given a grade. You must secure a B or higher in all of your classes to obtain a certificate./

I would like to get a professional certificate through the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies. Does a program like this or other continuing education programs qualify for federal student aid? Should I fill out the FAFSA? If not, what are my other options?

It really depends on the program you are trying to get into. Here is what the Dept of Ed says about being an "Eligible program"....

Eligible Program
A program of organized instruction or study that leads to an academic, professional or vocational degree or certificate, or other recognized educational credential. To receive federal student financial aid, you must be enrolled in an eligible program, with two exceptions:
• If a school has told you that you must take certain course work to qualify for admission into one of its eligible programs, you can get a Stafford Loan for up to 12 consecutive months while you’re completing that preparatory course work. You must be enrolled at least half-time*, and you must meet the usual federal student financial aid eligibility requirements.
• If you’re enrolled at least half-time* in a program to obtain a professional credential or certification required by a state for employment as an elementary or secondary school teacher, you can get a Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, a Stafford Loan, or your parents can get a PLUS Loan, while
you’re enrolled in that program.

The School of Continuing Education

Most of NYU (including the School for Continuing Education) is in Greenwich Village. Most of it, in fact, is right around Washington Square Park.

Hi. I recently applied to St Johns and Pace University in NYC for an MBA and was rejected because my GMAT score is 2 low. I have taken it 3 times and enrolled in tutoring twice. So i have decided to abandon the whole GMAT idea because I honestly tried really hard and my highest score is a 440. I am trying to figure out what my options are and I have been looking all over the internet but cant seem to get the answer to my question. Right now I am thinking I should either look in to an Online MBA that does not require a GMAT ..OR.. apply to NYU's School of Continuing Education Masters in Management and Systems (no GMAt required if you graduated more then 2 years ago.. I graduated almost 3 so im good).
Right now I have a bachelors of science in apparel design and i have been working in that industry for a couple years now and its 2 boring for me so thats why im looking in to a higher paying more exciting field. I dont have one specific job in mind because I am interested in alot of things that all fall in to the business category.. ex marketing and project management. Can anyone tell me how this two degrees are weighed?? Is one more prestigious then the other?
Thanks!

The degree Master of Business Administration is not the same as Master of Science. The MBA is a general broad degree covering a wide variety of business issues and training students for careers in managing any area of business up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, statistics, management, economics, strategy, policy, leadership and similar courses. The MBA was developed because people with technical backgrounds getting promoted into management are not always able to manage, and people in management often don't understand the technical fields they manage. That's why MBA programs prefer students with degrees in other than business and with 2-4 years of work experience. Their graduates learn to manage and can speak the language of the people they manage, whether that is engineering, chemistry, medicine, music, or any other field.

The MS is a degree that concentrates study in a specific field, such as finance, accounting, electrical engineering, biology, or chemistry and trains students for careers in high level staff positions often involving research.

An MBA program that does nto require the GMAT may not be of much value. Just because you got rejected by one school does not mean there arent'e others. I know a student who took the MGAT 14 times and finally achieved a score of 470. He is now doing well at Florida Southern College in the MBA program.

Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
