Graduate Admissions Info Sessions
Join staff members from the Tisch Office of Graduate Admissions to learn more about the 2027 application process and requirements, offered every Tuesday from September-November at 10:00 AM ET. Info sessions include an overview of graduate programs at Tisch, application timelines, details about material requirements, and time at the end for your questions. Info sessions are not recorded.
In addition to a Graduate Admissions info session, which covers general application information, we recommend attending an info session offered by your department of interest to get more in-depth, program-specific information.
You can reach out to Grad Admissions directly with questions about the application and admissions process at tisch.gradadmissions@nyu.edu.
