Why Study Away:

"With locations on six continents, NYU offers undergraduates across the US unparalleled international opportunities. NYU’s global network comprises degree-granting campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai; academic centers in 11 world-class cities; and exchange programs with many partner institutions. Last year, more than 4,000 students—from NYU and from other institutions—enrolled in the global network and experience an individualized academic journey led by distinguished scholars, artists, and professionals." 

 

Ernest Cole: Photographer

"Ernest Cole (1940–1990)—one of South Africa’s first black photo-journalists—created powerful photographs that revealed to the world what it meant to be black under apartheid. With imaginative daring, courage, and compassion, Cole portrayed the everyday lives of blacks as they negotiated apartheid’s racist laws and oppression. Apartheid, which means “apartness” in Afrikaans (the language of South Africa’s white minority of Dutch descent), was an often brutally enforced legal policy that separated people by race in all aspects of life, within a white supremacist hierarchy of power."
