Location, location, location!

The global and local intersect in New York City in a way they don't anywhere else. With so many nonprofits, diverse policy and research institutes, international organizations, and a high-profile city government, the opportunities to explore the field of public service are endless. Whether your interest is in planning; policy; government; public, nonprofit, or international management; public finance; health; or social issues; you'll find many opportunities for hands on practice while studying at Wagner. Students take full advantage of NYU Wagner 's relationship with its urban surroundings through classroom assignments, valuable internships and part-time and full-time work, and student group activities.

Aside from opportunities to explore the field of public service, NYC is an exciting place to attend graduate school. NYU Wagner's location in the heart of Greenwich Village adds an urban vibe that enhances the energy felt throughout the school. As the cultural hub of the United States, the City is diverse, dynamic, and full of life. Students enjoy opportunities for entertainment and exploration at NYC's many parks, museums, performance venues, and restaurants.
