Northeastern University New York City Scholars

Academics

Curriculum

Courses offered through the New York City Scholars program align with the first-year curriculum across Northeastern’s network and integrate cultural learning opportunities. Each NYC Scholars class that students take will fulfill any major requirements and/or NUPath attributes (our institution-wide general education requirements for students in all majors).

Students in NYC Scholars will take a full year’s worth of classes, including those required for their major as well as elective courses that may span across a range of disciplines. Students may be able to select alternate courses if they receive advanced credits from AP, IB, or other international examinations. Please note that not all first-year Northeastern courses will have equivalents offered through NYC Scholars.
