<p>I just came back from visiting NYU and fell in love with it; however, I am a little bit concerned it didn't seem very mathematically inclined. Everyone in my tour was interested in Humanities, and I was the only person interested in Engineering. Can anyone in the forum tell me more about the Engineering program at NYU? I know that it is a dual degree program with the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, but other than that I really don't know much about it. So if anyone could answer the following questions, I would be very grateful.
1) How strong is NYU's Engineering program in comparison to other top schools' (such as Boston University and Villanova)?
2) Do I have to move to the Stevens Institute of Tech. campus once the NYU part of the program is completed?</p>
<p>1) I've never heard NYU mentioned as a school strong engineering, nor BU or Villanova for that matter. The schools known for engineering are the top publics like Berkeley, Michigan, UIUC, UT, Penn State, UWisconsin, UCLA, UCSD and some privates like MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Cornell, Princeton, Rice, Northwestern, and others. If you want to go to NYC for college, research Cooper Union and Columbia's Fu School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. The former has no tuition, and both are excellent schools, or so I have heard. I'm sure that you could find a school nearly as desirable (to you) as NYU but more prominent in engineering. If you can get in to NYU, you can get into a school better in engineering. It's all matter of how much you prefer NYU to the competition, and care about the renown of its engineering.</p>
<p>nyu doesnt have an engineering school. they send you to a local tech school if you apply engineering.</p>
<p>nat_t, you are correct that NYU does not have an engineering program, and you will have to go to Stevens for that.</p>
<p>On the other hand, NYU is highly rated in applied mathematics, sharing the #1 spot with MIT in the U.S.News & World Report graduate ranking. The Courant Institute at NYU has an illustruous track record in applied mathematics, and today has one of the most expansive programs available, covering areas of mathematics that apply to physics, engineering, even finance.</p>
<p>4thfloor is correct.</p>
<p>NYU has a joint chemE program with stevens institute where it's a total of 5 years instead of 4. Def. not worth it (unless your getting terrific fin. aid.).</p>
