Unlike many American universities it has no single gated campus; most undergraduate teaching is organised around Washington Square in Greenwich Village, with other sites in Manhattan and Brooklyn (including the Tandon School of Engineering).
Schools include the College of Arts and Science, the Stern School of Business, the School of Law, the Grossman School of Medicine, the Tisch School of the Arts, the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development, the Wagner graduate school of public service, and others. NYU also operates degree-granting campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai, which already appear separately in some study-abroad and admissions materials.
Teaching is in English. Students apply through the Common Application or as otherwise published. Tuition is set by the university; NYU offers need-based aid, and some scholarships, according to its published policies.
