Stern-Tisch BS/BFA - How to Apply

• Applicants must be a freshman or sophomore currently enrolled in either Stern or Film & TV.

• Complete the application via SlideRoom by the deadline (mid-February).

The Dual Degree program requires a standardized test score OR quantitative coursework completed here at NYU. Some of you may not have submitted these when you applied to NYU. Please read the details below to learn how to proceed.

If you would like us to consider your quantitative coursework, please use the text box in SlideRoom to indicate which courses you have taken at NYU that you would like the admissions committee to consider. 

If you would like to submit standardized test scores, you must submit at least ONE of the following: 

• SAT; or
• ACT; or 
• International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma; or
• SAT Subject Test score in either Math Level 1 or Math Level 2; or 
• AP Calculus AB or Calculus BC*; or 
• IB higher-level mathematics or further mathematics. 

*If you took AP Statistics you should still submit your score if you have a 4 or 5 for advanced standing consideration. 

Once you have decided which scores you would like to submit, you can find instructions for how to submit scores here. We encourage you to send NYU your official standardized test scores at least two weeks before the application is due, so they will arrive in time for your application to be considered. If you can’t recall whether or not you submitted official test scores when you applied to NYU, please login to Albert, click the Grades & Transcripts button, then click Test Scores to see what is on file. 

The following courses offered at NYU would be recommended options for Tisch students needing to demonstrate quantitative coursework because they do not have a standardized test score to submit. Note that these courses should be taken in the College of Arts & Science in order for the class to also count towards a general education requirement for the Film & TV degree requirements. Classes taken at Stern would count as an elective course if not selected for admission to the Dual Degree program. If you have any questions, contact your Tisch academic advisor prior to registration. Below are a list of courses dual degree applicants generally consider taking: 

• Calculus I
• Math for Economists 
• Intro to Microeconomic
• Intro to Macroeconomics
• Statistics
• Financial Accounting (offered by Stern)
• Other upper level math courses

If you are a current 1st year Tisch student, Stern recommends that you should have test scores that will place you into Calc I (see the math department's website for more info). It's good to have taken the following prior to applying to the dual degree program as a 1st year student: 

Calculus I, II, or III
Standardized Tests (IB, AP, etc.)
CAS coursework (MATH-UA 121, 122, 123)

It would be nice to have additional coursework or test scores in other quantitative or business-related areas. 

If you are a current Sophomore at Tisch planning to apply to the dual degree program, Stern recommends that you should have: 

Calculus I, II, or III
Standardized Tests (IB, AP, etc)
CAS coursework (MATH-UA 121, 122, 123)

It's also good to have taken: 
Microeconomics (course completed or test scores)
Statistics & Regression (course completed or test scores)
Principles of Financial Accounting (ACCT-UB 1)

It would be nice to have additional coursework or test scores in other quantitative or business-related areas (this can include Stern courses in Marketing, Management, etc).
