Undergraduate | Business and Political Economy Semesters Abroad

International study is a key component of the Business and Political Economy degree. Your cross-continent experiences will give you in-depth knowledge of business, politics, and economics in different cultures. To foster a unique global perspective, you'll spend your sophomore fall at NYU London, followed by your junior spring semester at NYU Shanghai. You may also spend an optional third semester away at an NYU global site of your choice.
