ITP students can take up to 8 credits outside of the department at NYU. Students need the approval of an ITP academic advisor and approval from the other department. The classes need to be on the graduate level and related to the ITP course of study.
Occasionally, this limit may be exceeded with permission of your advisor.
A breakdown of the unit trajectory of an ITP student is below, typically completed over 4-semesters, but can include optional terms like Summer or January.
Tier 1 (Foundations): 4.0 – 18.0 units
Tier 2 (Electives): 38.0 – 52.0 units (combination of ITP / outside of ITP)
Tier 3 (Thesis): 4.0 units
Total: 60.0 units
Here is a complete list of outside classes that ITP students have taken in the past few years (not all of these classes will be available again this semester).

Using the Course Search Tool in Albert to Find Courses in Outside Departments
1.) Go to either 1.) the NYU Public Course Search page, or 2.) navigate to your Shopping Cart (in Albert’s Student Center, under the “Student” tab), and click the “Course Search” link.
2.) Update the fields in the right-hand navigation bar to tailor your search. You will want to make sure you have the following items selected on your navigation bar to help you search for classes:
- Under “Terms Offered” select “Spring 2021”
- Under “Academic Career” select “Graduate”
- Under “Open/Closed/Wait List Classes” select “Open”
3.) Remember, you may only apply graduate-level, adviser-approved non-ITP courses toward the degree.
4.) You can also narrow down your search by a number of other fields in the navigation bar (by school, by unit, by day of the week, or by time of day), or by searching the course descriptions for keywords, (for example if you are looking for courses that mention graphic design in the course description or course title).
5.) If you need help finding non-ITP classes using the NYU Course Search tool, or are confused about obtaining enrollment permissions for a particular course, please contact Dante for assistance.
6.) A good standard of practice when enrolling in courses in other departments at NYU is to Google search the department or unit and contact their administrative office to make sure that you are allowed to enroll in their courses! You do not want to find out on the first day of classes that you are not allowed to take the class. If you need help finding the contact information for a particular course or department, please contact Dante for assistance.
