Given Khubani BTE's emphasis in three disciplines, it's important to be mindful about balancing your course load. There’s no need to rush to complete all your quantitative requirements in your first semester. Here are some tips to help you build a successful and well-balanced fall schedule:

• If you plan to take Algebra, Trig & Functions (MATH-UA  9) or Calculus I (MATH-UA 121) in the fall, we suggest that you wait for a future term to take your first Technology Core course (Intro to Computer Programming CSCI-UA 2/101 or Intro to Computer Science CSCI-UA 101).
• Prioritize the 4-credit Statistics & Regression course (STAT-UB 103) in your first year.
• You can wait to take Microeconomics (ECON-UB 1 or 2) until your second year.
   

Cohort Leadership Program | Required in the Fall | 0 Credits

You are required to take Cohort Leadership Program (MULT-UB 9) in your first-year fall semester. You will automatically be enrolled in the course and you should be able to see it on your schedule by mid-summer.

The Cohort Leadership Program (CLP) is a weekly 0-credit class in the first fall semester. The course supports leadership skill development to help you achieve success as a student and future business leader. You will gain greater self-awareness, learn from different perspectives through dialogue, and continue to connect with your cohort community. You'll find out more about CLP during NYU Stern New Student Orientation.

You are required to take BTE Immersion (BTEP-UB 2) in the fall. The BTE Immersion will tie your coursework directly to the NYC entrepreneurship and technology ecosystem by immersing you in site visits and strategic projects with NYC companies.
 

Statistics | Depending on Proficiency | 1.5 – 4 Credits

You are required to take a statistics and regression course, and we strongly recommend you complete it during your first year. There are two ways you can fulfill your statistics requirement: either by taking one semester of a combined, more intensive 4-credit course called Statistics for Business Control and Regression & Forecasting Models (STAT-UB 103) (option 1, no prerequisites) OR by taking the 1.5-credit course called Regression & Forecasting Models (STAT-UB 3) (option 2, has prerequisites).

• Option 1: Statistics for Business Control and Regression & Forecasting Models (STAT-UB 103) 
  Who can/should take this course?
  This is a combined 4-credit course. Any NYU Stern student can take it. No qualifying test scores are needed. 
• Option 2: Taking a statistics proficiency exam to qualify for Regression & Forecasting Models (STAT-UB 3) 
  Who can/should take Regression & Forecasting Models?
  This is a 1.5-credit course. If you have earned a 4 or 5 on your AP Statistics exam, a 6 or 7 on the IB Math (or Further Maths) HL exam or an A or B on the A-Level Maths exam, you can choose to take a proficiency exam during NYU Stern Orientation in the fall. If you pass that exam, you would then only need to take Regression & Forecasting Models (STAT-UB 3) to complete the statistics requirement. No AP, IB, or A-Level credit can be awarded to this requirement. If you pass the exam, the number of elective credits you would need to complete your degree would slightly increase.

If you are an international student and English is not your first language, we do not recommend that you take Texts & Ideas or Cultures & Contexts at the same time as Commerce & Culture due to the amount of reading and writing these courses require.

• Option 1: Text & Ideas (CORE-UA 400-499) 
  Who can/should take Text & Ideas?
  Any NYU Stern student can take it. You may choose to take it during your first year, but you should not take it while also taking Cultures & Contexts or Global Cultures.
   
• Option 2: Cultures & Contexts (CORE-UA 500-599) or Global Cultures (AFGC-UF 101, CAGC-UF 101, EAGC-UF 101, LAGC-UF 101, MEGC-UF 101, SAGC-UF 101)
  Who can/should take Cultures & Contexts?
  Any NYU Stern student can take this class. You must take either this course or Global Cultures during your degree program, but you should not take this course while also taking Texts & Ideas.
  
  Who can/should take Global Cultures?
  Any NYU Stern student can take this class. You must take this course or Cultures & Contexts during your degree program, but you should not take this course while also taking Texts & Ideas. Pro tip: Set the “School” filter to “Liberal Studies” when searching for this course in Albert Course Search.

No advanced examinations (like AP, IB, or GCE A-Level) or previously taken college classes can substitute these requirements.

A quick word on advanced standing coursework/credits:

We recommend the following steps if you're utilizing your AP/IB/GCE A-level scores during registration:

• Enroll in a full courseload (16 – 18 credits). During your initial registration period, you should enroll in classes that you qualify for without your AP/IB/GCE A-Level scores being in the system. Once your AP/IB/GCE A-Level scores arrive at NYU, the NYU Stern Academic Advising Office can assist with scheduling options.
• Send your scores. If you are planning to submit AP/IB/GCE A-Level scores, you may find instructions for submitting standardized test scores on the Admissions website.  You can review NYU Stern's policy for Advanced Standing credit on our website. 
• View your received test scores. To check if NYU has received your official advanced standing scores (e.g. AP, IB, A-Level), log in to Albert and look in the “Grades and Transcripts” tab to see your "Test Scores." IB scores may take longer than AP scores to be reported in Albert. Other foreign examination scores (A-Levels, etc.) are not automatically recognized in Albert even once they have been received by NYU.

For a list of course equivalencies based on advanced standing, please review the AP equivalencies sheet, the IB equivalencies sheet, and/or the GCE A-level equivalencies sheet. Other maturity certificate exam scores can be reviewed by the Academic Advising Office. Please reach out for further information.
