Undergraduate / I was excited to learn about the Liberal Studies Core Program at NYU. "Why NYU" Writing Supplement [5]

I was excited to learn about the Liberal Studies Core Program at NYU. A program offering small, discussion-based classes, an interdisciplinary curriculum, and the freedom to explore a range of subjects in the liberal arts directly aligns with what I am looking for in a university. I will have the opportunity and support to explore a range of interests, from philosophy to environmental sustainability, before committing to my selected major. Based on the small class size and close student-teacher interaction, it seems that Core Program faculty are genuinely interested in their students as individuals. I am drawn to the progressive values of The Liberal Studies Core Program at NYU, and the opportunity to fulfill the liberal arts requirements of a Bachelor's Degree within the first two years. Additionally, I am excited to have the opportunity to explore campuses away from New York. Having participated in two Spanish immersion programs in Spain during high school, I'm eager to continue studies at NYU academic centers in Europe. As I continue to research NYU Liberal Studies, I have learned of a diverse group of students and faculty who encourage exploration and discovery not only within the Core Program but throughout NYU. It seems that being open to and interested in areas beyond what you are already familiar with, culturally, socially, and academically, are consistent elements of the experience of being a Liberal Studies Core Program student at NYU.
