First Semester Courses by Concentration for In-Person Students

Welcome Fall 2023 students! Registration for incoming students begins on June 5th. Below is a list of the courses you must register for, by concentration/program. It lists courses for both full and part-time course loads. Before reading this, make sure you've reviewed all the information in the email you received with the subject line "IMPORTANT: Registration Instructions for Fall 2023 NYU Master's Students". 

 

Important notes - there is a lot of information here, so please read it carefully:

  1. NYU will be fully in-person in the fall, though we always offer some online courses. Courses that are 5000-level are online. Though the course listings below may indicate a 2000-level course, please know that we offer all of our core courses online, so if you prefer the online format, you may take it (please note that GPH-GU 5106 Epidemiology and GPH-GU 5995 Biostatistics for Public Health are restricted to online students only). You can check our schedule to see if one of the courses you are choosing is also being offered online.
     
  2. All MPH students must register for the two 0-credit required courses, GPH-GU 5175 and GPH-GU 5171, which take place online for a period of two weeks. There are several sections of GPH-GU 5171, so please just choose one which works for your schedule. Dates for these courses are noted in Albert and on the schedule on our website. Also note that there are two additional required 0-credit courses to be taken in the Spring (GPH-GU 5180 and GPH-GU 5185). 
     
  3. All MS and MPH students must enroll in GPH-GU 5010 Foundations for Epidemiology and Biostatistics (0). Please note that this is not actually a course, nor is it graded, nor will it appear on your transcript. It serves as a primer to prepare you for Epidemiology and Biostatistics courses. It will open on August 1st via Brightspace (which you can access by logging into Albert --> Academics --> Brightspace; please disregard the dates in Albert). It will only take a few hours to a couple of days for you to complete and you may do it any time in August. This will not count towards your MPH/MS degree requirements, but you must register for it like a regular course.
     
  4. MS Biostatistics students must register for GPH-GU 5170 Introduction to Public Health, which takes place online. 
     
  5. MS Epidemiology and MPH students may be eligible to waive the Essentials of Public Health Biology requirement. Please read through the eligibility guidelines on the Course Waiver form. Students who plan to waive it must complete the form and return to Lisa Kroin (lrk219@nyu.edu). When waiving a course, you may take an elective of your choice later in the program. The total number of credits should still amount to 46 at the end of your degree. Please let your program advisor know so a note is made in your record.
     
  6. International Students: F-1 visa students may take a maximum of one credit-bearing online course. Therefore, GPH-GU 5010, 5170, 5175, 5180, and 5185 do not count towards this requirement, as they are all 0 credits.  
     
  7. Course loads, Financial Aid and Scholarships: Students who are receiving federal financial aid must be enrolled in at least 4.5 credits to be eligible. 9 credits per semester (not including summer) is considered to be a full course load for all graduate students at NYU. However, students who want to complete the MPH or MS program within 2 years, should enroll in all 12 credits of course work outlined below. Please also keep in mind that certain courses such as Epidemiology, are pre-requisites for future courses. Questions regarding financial aid may be directed to financial.aid@nyu.edu. Please note that GPH scholarship requirements may differ and students on scholarship should consult their admission offers for details on required course loads to maintain scholarship eligibility. Questions regarding GPH scholarships may be directed to GPH Admissions at gph.admissions@nyu.edu.
