It depends on your needs and circumstances. Online degree programs are a good option if you want to pursue your degree from anywhere in the world on a schedule that fits your life.

At NYU SPS, the time to complete an online degree depends on the credits required for the degree program, whether a student attends full or part-time, and whether the student has transfer credits from another educational program.

NYU SPS also offers flexibility in course pacing so students can accelerate their studies by taking more credits per term or attending summer sessions.
