Study abroad at Brooklyn

Brooklyn is the most populous, culturally dynamic, and creative borough of New York City (NYC), celebrated worldwide for the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Navy Yard tech and green manufacturing cluster, DUMBO tech startups, and world-class higher education powerhouses. Brooklyn is home to elite academic institutions: NYU Tandon School of Engineering (New York University's comprehensive engineering school founded in 1854 at MetroTech Center Downtown Brooklyn, ranked top 30 in US engineering, world leader in AI, Robotics, Cybersecurity, and Wireless Communications), Pratt Institute (top 5 in the world for Architecture, Fine Arts, and Industrial Design), Brooklyn College (CUNY - historic 'Poor Man's Harvard' with a gorgeous Georgian campus, nationally recognized for Business, Computer Science, and Film), SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University (Brooklyn's premier academic medical center), and St. Francis College. Degrees are taught 100% in English with prestigious US accreditations (ABET, AACSB, Middle States). International students benefit from direct access to New York City's global finance, tech, and creative job markets, 24/7 MTA subway system connecting to Manhattan in 10 minutes, and direct F-1 / I-20 Student Visa support.

Tuition fees in Brooklyn for international undergraduate students at prestigious private institutions (NYU Tandon, Pratt Institute) range between $58,000 and $63,000 per academic year for Engineering, Computer Science, Architecture, and Design, while public tuition at Brooklyn College (CUNY) is significantly lower, ranging from $18,600 to $20,500 per year (calculated at approx. $620 per credit). Postgraduate Master's programs range between $22,000 and $48,000 per year (with competitive merit scholarships and graduate research assistantships). Campus student residence halls (NYU Othmer Hall, Pratt Grand Avenue) cost between $1,100 and $1,800 per month (inclusive of meal plans and utilities), while off-campus private student flat shares in Crown Heights, Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, and Flatbush range from $850 to $1,500 per month.

International students require a US F-1 Student Visa. Upon academic admission and verification of financial documentation (bank statement certifying first-year tuition and living expenses), the university's Office of Global Services (NYU OGS / CUNY ISSO) issues the official Form I-20. The student pays the SEVIS I-901 fee, completes the DS-160 online visa application, and attends the F-1 visa interview at the US Embassy or Consulate.
