New York University (NYU): Courses, Fees, and Cost of Living 2027

New York University (NYU) fees for Indian students vary by school and programme. Postgraduate tuition ranges from USD 75,750 (INR 72.00 Lakhs) to USD 179,048 (INR 1.70 Crore) for the full course, while undergraduate tuition and fees range from USD 68,576 (INR 65.18 Lakhs) to USD 75,326 (INR 71.60 Lakhs) per year. Fee inclusions differ by school.

• MBA tuition: USD 89,524 (INR 85.09 Lakhs) annually for the two-year programme.
• Undergraduate food and housing allowance: USD 26,438 (INR 25.13 Lakhs) for the academic year.

University housing is a useful starting point when planning accommodation. Private rentals require separate estimates for rent, utilities, deposits and lease duration. The figures above do not include insurance, international student service fees, housing deposits or travel costs beyond NYU’s transportation allowance.

New York University Tuition Fees by Programme

NYU’s 5 postgraduate and 5 undergraduate programmes illustrate how tuition varies by school and degree. The Washington Square campus is in Manhattan, while the Tandon School of Engineering is based in Brooklyn.

New York University Postgraduate Fees: Spring 2027 and Fall 2027

Tandon tuition of USD 75,750 (INR 72.00 Lakhs) covers 30 credits at the 2026–27 rate. However, MS in Financial Engineering requires 33 credits, while MS in Management of Technology requires 36 credits, so total tuition will be higher for these programmes. Tandon’s school-level tuition rate applies to its nine engineering degrees. Stern MBA tuition is charged annually, while Tandon tuition is calculated per credit.

Full-course tuition uses required credits or programme duration at unchanged current rates. Living expenses, health insurance and additional university charges are excluded.

• Computer Science and Financial Engineering target Fall 2027; neither accepts Spring 2027 applications.
• Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering can use the Spring 2027 application window.
• Civil Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Management of Technology share that spring deadline.
• Financial Engineering adds three credits over a 30-credit degree; Management of Technology adds six.
• Tandon study plans describe scheduling choices; a longer stay increases housing costs without changing required degree credits.

New York University Undergraduate Fees: Fall 2027

NYU’s annual tuition-and-fees benchmark for most undergraduate schools is USD 68,576 (INR 65.18 Lakhs). Economics, Psychology, and Computer Science figures include standard fees, while Stern Business and Tisch Film and Television have separate tuition rates. Economics, Psychology, and Computer Science typically offer BA or BS degrees, while Film and Television awards a BFA. All figures are annual; Stern and Tisch amounts represent tuition only.

Four-year comparisons use unchanged current rates. Stern and Tisch totals exclude additional university fees; all totals exclude housing, insurance and immigration charges.

• Economics and Psychology share the College of Arts and Science fee route.
• The Computer Science bachelor’s degree here is Tandon’s Brooklyn programme.
• Business carries Stern tuition; it should not inherit the general undergraduate tuition-and-fees figure.
• Film and Television has Tisch tuition and a separate creative-portfolio requirement for Fall 2027.

New York University Fee Trend by Year

NYU’s general undergraduate tuition and fees increased by 3.90% from 2025–26 to 2026–27, adding USD 2,576 (INR 2.45 Lakhs) per academic year at a constant exchange rate. This comparison covers general undergraduate charges and excludes the separate tuition rates for Stern and Tisch.

• The 2025/26 increase was larger than the 2026/27 increase, so one fixed growth assumption misrepresents NYU’s history.
• Historical dollar increases differ from exchange-rate changes; both can alter the family’s rupee requirement.
• The series does not establish a 2027/28 fee or a guaranteed four-year price.

Cost of Living in New York City for Indian Students

NYU’s undergraduate non-tuition allowance for the academic year is USD 32,422 (INR 30.82 Lakhs), with approximately 82% allocated to housing and food. Monthly figures are calculated by dividing the 10-month academic-year allowance by 10; they are budgeting estimates, not actual monthly rent or utility prices.

• On-campus housing means university-managed accommodation; it does not mean every residence is beside the teaching building.
• Off-campus housing means privately arranged accommodation; the combined NYU food-and-housing allowance does not establish private rent.
• Brooklyn is Tandon’s teaching location; Manhattan is the Washington Square academic location.
• Residence availability, contract dates and initial payments need an individual housing offer; the allowance does not guarantee a room.
• A 12-month postgraduate stay needs a graduate budget; extending this undergraduate allowance would mix different cost measures.

Total Cost of Studying at New York University

The estimated first-year cost subtotal for NYU Economics is USD 101,533 (INR 96.51 Lakhs), including the attendance allowance and two initial immigration charges. NYU’s published cost of attendance already covers tuition, university fees, and living expenses, so its USD 100,998 (INR 96.00 Lakhs) allowance should not be added to another annual living-cost estimate.

This calculation uses a single 10-month academic-year living allowance. Economics is an illustrative undergraduate example, and the final amount may vary depending on the student’s programme, fees, and individual expenses.

• The subtotal combines tuition, food, housing, books, transportation, personal expenses, the visa application and the student-record fee.
• Health insurance, application charges, separately billed Global Services charges, housing deposits and travel outside NYU’s transportation allowance are excluded.
• NYU supplies one undergraduate allowance; no published lower-to-upper range supports three separate living-cost scenarios here.
• A tuition deposit reduces the remaining tuition balance when credited; adding it again would overstate the programme cost.

Four undergraduate academic years equal $403,992 (INR 3.84 Crore) using the attendance allowance at unchanged current rates. This excludes insurance, immigration charges, separately billed Global Services charges, housing deposits and travel beyond the transportation allowance.

New York University Scholarships for Indian Students

NYU Stern’s Community Scholarship offers USD 25,000 (INR 23.76 Lakhs) toward the first year of the MBA, subject to eligibility. Undergraduate NYU Promise support and Tandon merit scholarships follow separate criteria and application processes. NYU Promise eligibility is based on factors such as annual family income and assets, along with timely submission of required financial-aid documents; it is not determined by the student’s tuition budget alone.

• NYU Promise covers tuition; food, housing and other charges need separate funding.
• Tandon review is automatic, but admission does not guarantee an award or its maximum amount.
• Tandon awards normally apply to fall and spring registration; summer support needs explicit award terms.
• Stern states that roughly 20% to 25% of admitted two-year MBA students receive merit scholarships.

External Indian scholarships: No open 2027 award is deducted from these budgets. Inlaks’ published 2026 competition is closed; the JN Tata published application deadline was 29 March 2026. Target-intake deadlines remain pending in those provider schedules.

New York University Tuition Deposit and Payment Options

NYU Tandon’s standard graduate deposit for 2027 entry is listed as USD 1,000 (INR 95,050), while Financial Engineering requires USD 3,000 (INR 2.85 Lakhs). These deposits are non-refundable and count toward first-semester tuition, subject to programme terms.

The Form I-20 is the university-issued document required to apply for an F-1 student visa. NYU Tandon issues it after students meet the required deposit and other documentation requirements.

• Later Fall 2027 admissions have staged deadlines. Subsequent dates include 1 April, 1 May and 1 June 2027.
• The deposit is an advance tuition payment, rather than an additional charge.
• Stern and undergraduate deposit amounts are not established by Tandon’s graduate schedule.

NYU Methods of Payment: Deposit and Tuition Balance

One NYUAlbert acceptance workflow handles Tandon’s deposit. NYUAlbert is the university’s student administration portal.

• Online deposit: accept the offer in NYUAlbert and follow its payment instructions.
• Bank transfer: Tandon’s financial guidance lists wire transfers among tuition payment methods.
• Payment arrangements: Tandon directs tuition instalment enquiries to NYU’s Bursar, the university office managing student accounts.
• Provider fees and payment-plan milestones are not established by the supplied schedule; no discount is deducted.

NYU Steps to Pay Tuition: International Students

$1,000 (INR 95,050) must reach Tandon before its standard master’s visa-document process can proceed.

1. Activate university access and accept the admission offer through NYUAlbert.
2. Pay the required course deposit within the published admission-group deadline.
3. Complete the university’s Form I-20 requirements after the deposit; retain proof of tuition credit.
4. Use the student-account invoice for tuition balance, accepted payment methods and liability dates.
5. Retain deposit, tuition and immigration receipts together for the visa and payment records.

Hidden Costs of Studying at New York University

$535 (INR 50,852) covers the two specified initial United States immigration charges, separate from tuition.

• Spring 2027: Tandon’s deposit must arrive before Form I-20 issuance; the final payment deadline is 7 January 2027.
• Visa application: the F-1 application fee is $185 (INR 17,584).
• Student record: the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee is $350 (INR 33,268).
• Global Services: NYU lists $115 (INR 10,931) per semester, or $230 (INR 21,862) for two semesters.
• Graduate health insurance: the annual charge is $5,100 (INR 4.85 Lakhs). Undergraduate insurance needs a separate quotation.
• Accommodation: the first housing payment, refundable deposit and lease period need an actual residence or rental offer.
• Transfers and travel: bank charges and flights beyond NYU’s transportation allowance remain outside the calculated subtotal.

Selected NYU Tandon Spring 2027 applications close on 1 November 2026, while Fall 2027 priority applications close on 1 December 2026. The specified first-year Economics cost subtotal for 2026–27 is INR 96.51 Lakhs. Eligible students may receive NYU Promise tuition support, but other fees and living expenses require a separate funding assessment.
