NYU was founded in 1831 and one of the leading universities in the U.S. today. The origin of NYU is associated with Albert Gallatin, a statesman who served as treasury sectary in the pursuit of establishing a “system of rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously opened to all.” Enrollment per semester at NYU has reached to over 40,000 students and enrolled in study abroad programs in key destinations around Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe.
