The Student Body

Who goes to Wagner?

The student population is rich with diversity and experience. At NYU Wagner, we embrace this diversity as an essential component of our commitment to public service. Better solutions to public issues, we believe, are found by joining people from different backgrounds. Students are able to take classes, work together, discuss issues and solve problems in groups that reflect the multicultural composition of communities of the future, and of cities like New York today.

Our students stay active in the community and the school through events hosted by our many Wagner student groups.
