Please note that we are temporarily not accepting pre-applications to the bachelor's-master's track with NYU's College of Arts and Science while NYU reviews new NY State regulations regarding dual-degree programs. Students graduating from CAS in the 2018-19 academic year who are not on the pre-application track should complete CAS' BA-MPA/MUP interest form so that they can be updated once the track becomes available again.
