Every semester, the School provides tutors in Statistics (P11.1011), Microeconomics (P11.1018), and Financial Management (P11.1021) at no charge to students. The School also provides a writing consultant (tutor) to assist students, individually and in group sessions, with their writing assignments (see Writing below).
Please note that this schedule is subject to change.
Tutoring hours and locations are posted in the Wagner School and on Blackboard, and are announced by faculty during the first class sessions.
Wagner’s core courses in Microeconomics, Statistics, and Financial Management require knowledge of basic math skills. Your core course instructors will not spend time reviewing these math skills in class—it is assumed that you understand them before you take the class. If you have not had math for some time, you may need to brush up on your skills in preparation for the core coursework.
Take the Wagner Math Assessment to get an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in mathematics.
The Wagner School offers a non-credit Math Review Session (P11.1106) in the summer before classes begin and at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. The Math Review focuses on those math skills that are essential to Statistics, Microeconomics, and Financial Management. Students are strongly advised to take the Math Review Session if the Math Assessment indicates a deficiency in this area.
If you choose to take the Math Review Session, you must register for P11.1106. Tuition is $75. You may also review the Math Review Session Course Packet on your own.

All students are expected to pursue and meet the highest standards of academic excellence by adhering to the norms of a serious intellectual community (see Academic Code). This includes the proper citation of ideas, data, and published work of others. The following resources serve as a guide for students who are unclear about the rules or styles of citation.These references are universally recognized as acceptable by scholars and very adequately demonstrate how students should handle the issue of proper citation of material. All are available at the NYU Library or NYU Bookstores.
In addition to these manuals, below are several web sites to help you learn about appropriate citations and writing research papers:
