Current Undergrad Students

As a Tisch student, how do I double-major in a subject outside of Tisch (e.g., in Drama and Philosophy)?

To double-major in Philosophy (or in any department where there is an approved second major), you must first discuss the requirements of the major with the chair or director of undergraduate studies of that department. You must then fill out the double major/minor form (available in the home Tisch department). After an advisor from the second department completes the appropriate section of the form, the form is then submitted to the home department for approval. Once approved, the second major is recorded on the official transcript.

How do I apply for a double major within Tisch?

You can pick up a green double major application form at the front desk in the Office of Student Affairs, 721 Broadway, 8th floor, or you can visit the Academic Downloads page to download the form.

How do I transfer from another division of NYU to Tisch?

If you are a student from another division of NYU (e.g., CAS, GSP, Stern, Gallatin, Steinhardt), you can pick up an internal transfer application form at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 22 Washington Square North. Students must be enrolled in the division to which they were originally admitted for one full year before they may transfer to another division.
