The Master of Arts in Individualized Study at NYU's Gallatin School allows students to design a unique program of study tailored to their specific academic and professional goals. This program is designed for individuals who wish to pursue interdisciplinary research or create a course of study not offered by traditional master's programs. Admission is competitive and based on a thorough evaluation of academic records, professional experience, and demonstrated potential for success in an individualized program. A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or its international equivalent is required. The program generally admits students for Fall entry, as a sequential rhythm of core requirements is optimized for a Fall start. Spring or Summer admissions are exceptional and typically only considered for students who will remain part-time for the duration of their studies, as starting full-time in spring can disrupt the curriculum's intended progression.
