New York University was founded in 1831 by Albert Gallatin and a group of New York residents who sought to establish a nonsectarian institution of higher education. Originally located near City Hall, the university later moved to its current location in Greenwich Village. Over time, NYU expanded its academic programs and global presence, developing into a large private research university with campuses and academic centers worldwide.
NYU’s primary campus is located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan. Unlike traditional enclosed campuses, its academic buildings, residence halls, and facilities are integrated into the urban fabric of New York City. The university also operates additional campuses in Brooklyn and Abu Dhabi, as well as global academic centers in various international locations.
New York University is governed by a Board of Trustees responsible for institutional oversight and long-term strategy. Executive leadership is provided by a President supported by senior administrators overseeing academic affairs, research development, finance, and global initiatives. Schools and colleges manage discipline-specific teaching and research activities.
New York University offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs across arts and sciences, business, law, medicine, engineering, education, public service, and the arts. The university emphasizes research, global engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. It maintains partnerships with institutions, industries, and organizations worldwide.
Student life at New York University includes a diverse international student body and numerous student organizations, cultural groups, and artistic communities. The university provides residential housing, student services, and career support. Its location in New York City offers access to cultural institutions, financial centers, media industries, and professional networks that complement academic study.
