NYU SPS Career Pathways Bridge Program

The Career Pathways Bridge Program is geared towards recent NY public high school graduates who have not yet earned a college degree. Applicants must be residents of the State of New York and live within commuting distance of NYU. Students who have completed a year or less at another institution, yet have not earned their degree from that institution, and wish to transfer to NYU SPS, are welcome to apply.

Students who participate in the Career Pathways Bridge Program earn two-year scholarships for their Fall Bridge semester and matriculation into the associate degree program offered by the School’s Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies (DAUS), which begins the following Spring.
