The process of selecting the right graduate school can be a difficult one. NYU Wagner encourages prospective students to visit and explore the many options available. Currently, there are three formal prospective student programs: Information Sessions, Small Group Sessions, and Walk-in Hours - see details below.
The best way to get a broad introduction to NYU Wagner is to attend an Open House Information Session. You will learn about Wagner's vision for a public service education re-framed, hear in-depth descriptions of our programs, get important information about admissions and financial aid, and have an opportunity meet faculty and a current student. Wagner hosts five to six Open House sessions during the academic year. Our next Open House Sessions will take place between 6pm and 8pm at the Puck Building, 295 Lafayette Street, 2nd Floor.
Small Group Sessions
NYU Wagner staff host small group information sessions every other Friday and one Friday a month during the summer. These are and informal way to learn about Wagner and ask questions of Admissions staff. Small Group Sessions can also be useful throughout the application process or if you are unable to attend an Open House Information Session. Information Sessions are offered on the following Fridays between 3pm and 4:30 pm at the Puck Building, 295 Lafayette St, 2nd floor. |
For those applicants who are unable to attend our Open House/Small Group sessions or who have personal questions they would like to ask one-on-one, we offer walk-in hours with our admissions staff. Please call ahead to confirm that walk-in hours are available on the day you plan to visit.
Walk-in hours are generally on Mondays from 3:00 pm to 6:00 p.m. Dates with an asterisk are from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm. The dates of our upcoming walk-in hours are as follows:
August
Mondays 11, 18, 25
September
Mondays 8, 15*, 22*, 29*
October
Mondays 6*, 20*, 27*
November

Please note: If you cannot attend our walk-in hours, we are also available during and after office hours, by appointment only.
If you would like to set up an appointment with our admissions staff, please e-mail wagner.admissions@nyu.edu with your availability, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
