Academics

Undergraduates hoping to register for graduate-level courses this spring will soon see how difficult that task can be.

In the past two weeks, many students have had to miss class to celebrate religious holidays.

Sometimes it seems like coming home from college is one big test of how many times you can answer the questions, “How is school?” and, “Do you LOVE New York?” without exploding.

With standardized course evaluations now available on CourseWorks, the University is one step closer to making evaluation results public to more of its students.
