NYU Liberal Studies Program

<p>I also received about a $12,000 liberal studies scholarship and was wondering the same thing.</p>

<p>Also my main question is, As an LSP student would I have full access to internship opportunities, clubs and things like newspaper staff etc.?</p>

<p>Henry, an LSP student can participate in everything you mentioned, clubs, newspapers, Greek life, etc. Wasserman (the Career center) is open to all NYU students. </p>

<p>There are additional LSP clubs open only to LSP students.
NYU</a> > A & S > Getting Involved on Campus</p>

<p>londonb - yep exactly they're CAS classes, you won't find any LSP-only 300 student classes</p>

<p>kasia - I'm not sure if I understand your question, you said you want Journalism, Anthropology, maybe IR but maybe communications? It's ok if you're undecided, and yes you can go to Steinhardt and study Communications if you want.</p>

<p>Henry - Yep of course you'll have access to all that stuff, although certain clubs at NYU are limited to certain schools. There are a few specific clubs for Stern, CAS, Steinhardt, Tisch, Gallatin, SCPS, LSP, Social Work students. But most things will be open to you. </p>

<p>RedFlowers - GLS is a 4 year major, LS is a 1-2 yr program. Not everyone in LS gets an AA btw, I'm not getting one personally. But I think certain students can if they want and do the requirements.</p>

<p>Hey Molly4190. I've been reading your replies on this thread for a couple of weeks now, and I just want to say thanks. You've provided really good and thorough answers to everyone. It's helped me out a lot, because I wasn't even sure what LSP was before I read this thread.</p>

<p>My question is about getting my acceptance rescinded. How badly would a person have to do in a single class to get de-accepted? My fall semester, I had a 3.4 GPA (Down because of a 1.8 in AP Calc and a 3.2 in H. Physics, but 4.0s in my other classes). This semester, I'm trying just as hard, but I'm worried my AP Calculus grade will be a 1.0. But my H. Physics grade will probably be in between a 3.5 and a 4.0. All my other classes will be 4.0s, I hope. If I were to potentially get a 1.0 or worse in Calculus, but still have my overall GPA for my second semester be above a 3.4, would I my acceptance get rescinded?</p>

<p>It's pretty hard to get acceptance rescinded, but a 3.4 is totally fine...if your gpa slips under 2.7, i'd start to worry, but they won't rescind because of 1 bad grade in a class. i'm assuming you're not a math major? dont' worry about 1 poor grade in ap calc when everything else is good, they won't care.</p>

<p>Thanks, I appreciate the help.</p>

<p>Supacow, you had asked about leaving LSP after three semesters. You need to have 16 credits or more of AP/college credits. These have to be approved by NYU and will show up in your NYU Home Account/Albert under Transcript (probably sometime this summer.)</p>

<p>You will need to have taken certain LSP courses in order to do this. As 2009 core requirements are different than the 2008 requirements, you should probably see an advisor in the LSP Advising Center sometime during freshman year (not the faculty advisor they assign to you.) My daughter was instructed to come back in September (of her sophomore year) to fill out the paper work to leave the program. She will not be receiving an Associate’s Degree.</p>

<p>All of this only pertains to CAS. Other than links I’ve provided, I really don’t know the details of going to Tisch or pre-health.</p>

<p>does anyone know if we can still study abroad for a full year as sophomores? I know you can do it as freshmen, but I want to go to NYC for my first year.</p>

<p>It’s one semester.</p>

<p>Hey everyone, I was accepted to LSP and would be interested in doing the the Pre-Health track. When would I be able to start taking biology and chemistry courses etc.?</p>

<p>Hey mellnelli07, I actually asked that question at the LSP accepted students day yesterday. He pretty much said that LSP has a different approach to pre-health than a typical CAS student, but that you end up in the same place at the same time in the end. I imagine it just means you take the classes in a different order and at different times. You probably don’t start with pre-health until sophomore year, because it looks like freshman year liberal arts classes are pretty much set down already.</p>

<p>You use your elective space to take the pre-health classes. You probably would not take the LSP science courses but would take these instead:</p>

<p>[Guidelines</a> for Liberal Studies Pre-Health](<a href=“http://ls.nyu.edu/object/guidelinesprehealth]Guidelines”>http://ls.nyu.edu/object/guidelinesprehealth)</p>

<p>When you get your registration materials in the mail, I think you’ll be asked if you are pre-health. If you are still unsure of things when you receive the registration papers, call the LSP advising center.</p>

<p>You probably could take one CAS science course each semester starting this September. It looks like the other three classes you’d be taking for the first two semesters would be Writing, Social and Cultural. Third semester, you have to take Soc and Cultural. If you have 16 or more approved AP/college credits, you’d be able to leave after the 3rd semester and transfer to CAS.</p>

<p>You know what, call the LSP advising - that’s what they’re there for…</p>

<p>that sucks I wanted to spend my sophomore year in paris not just a semester. I’m guessing it’s too late to change my mind.</p>

<p>nate - you never know if it’s too late - call LSP</p>

<p>Hi, I was accepted into the LSP program, and I am seriously considering it. I really like the idea of smaller classes and personal attention from teachers, but I have a question for current students/alumni:</p>

<p>Was it ever frustrating for you to not be able to choose your classes and to have such a structured curriculum? I am choosing between LSP and Sarah Lawrence, and while I like LSP, I’m worried that it will be very frustrating to not be able to choose my classes. Sarah Lawrence is the opposite extreme, with complete freedom in choosing classes and no core requirements. I can’t decide which one would be better…</p>

<p>SO I was looking at the curriculum requirements for LSP students and noticed there was no math (yesss!) Although my major will eventually be Journalism/Cinema Studies, which I doubt will require any math, do I still have to take any in LSP?</p>

<p>Also I was reading above about finishing LSP in 3 semesters by getting more AP/college credits, does that have anything to do with getting 4s or 5s on high school AP exams? Because I dont really see anythign in the curriculum that AP scores could effect.</p>

<p>has anyone heard of or know of anyone who didnt fulfill the 3.0 gpa requirement?</p>

<p>don’t worry about it, you have to be party like crazy and not care about academics to get that</p>

<p>amartin12, you should internally transfer to Gallatin. Gallatin has no restrictions, except a lot of writing courses.</p>
