Meet Mamadou Diallo

There was a huge difference between my community college experience and transferring to a private university. I was a bit worried about how to keep up and find my place within the NYU community in the early stages. But NYU made it easy by providing a variety of options, such as joining clubs and participating in events that exposed me to the NYU SPS community.

Meet Katherine Likourezos

NYU SPS is a leader in education that places a primary focus on career development. Also, when meeting with admissions officers, they were open to answering any questions and made me feel welcome. I chose to study in the DAUS program because it is designed for transfer students like myself and because of its fully online programs.
