Gallatin School of Individualized Study
The Gallatin School of Individualized Study (commonly referred to as Gallatin) is a small-in-size liberal arts school within New York University. Students at Gallatin design an interdisciplinary concentration based on their specific interests and career goals. Most courses can be taken at any of the schools that compose New York University, in addition to Gallatin's course offerings.[4]

Academics[edit]
Gallatin students develop a concentration, as opposed to a major, that is individualized to suit their interests and goals. A concentration can encompass multiple areas of study and often involves taking courses in various schools within New York University. There are, however, general requirements for graduation. These start with foundation courses (a first year writing seminar, a first year research seminar, and multiple interdisciplinary seminars) and end with an intensive oral discourse called the "colloquium" which is held during a student's final semester.[7]
