Congratulations NYU SPS Graduates
NYU holds one All-University Commencement each spring. May candidates, as well as September and January graduates, are invited to attend.
Graduation Ceremonies
In addition to the University Commencement ceremony, the NYU School of Professional Studies hosts separate events, one for its graduate students and one for its undergraduate students and their guests. Along with your family and friends, you will join your fellow graduates as we celebrate your achievements. Convocation is a rich, time-honored tradition at the NYU School of Professional Studies, during which we celebrate the accomplishments of our students. The Convocation ceremonies provide an opportunity for those graduating, their family members, administrators, and faculty members to come together and acknowledge their impressive achievements, and to applaud the hard work they have made to enrich their lives and advance their careers through education.
