GNU by numbers: where NYU students are studying abroad

Graphic by Lyanne Natividad

With its sites overseas, NYU is building the Global Network University, which currently comprises 11 global academic centers and two portal campuses. The two portal campuses, NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai, have 499 and 295 students seeking degrees in those locations, respectively. At press time, the fall census for NYU’s New York campus was not available. There are 1,532 undergraduate and graduate students studying at sites this fall other than their degree-granting campus, including the global academic centers, portal campuses and NYU at Washington Square. NYUAD opened in September 2010, and NYU Shanghai opened this fall. According to the GNU website, “over 40 percent of our undergraduates now study abroad.”
