Can students work while enrolled?

Yes! Around 40% of incoming Wagner students study part-time while working full- or part-time. Many students shift from full-time to part-time enrollment as they secure jobs, often with support from our career services team. However, certain programs, such as the MS in Public Policy, are intensive full-time programs where working is not recommended.

To determine whether full- or part-time study is the best fit for you, we encourage you to join an  NYU Wagner event and hear directly from current students who balance work and school.
