NYU Liberal Studies Core Program
Anyone out there with knowledge on NYU's Liberal Studies Core Program?
Basically, you spend your first two years in NYC or Florence or Australia, and you take liberal arts courses. Additionally, in your elective space, you must take electives that fulfill degree requirements. At the end of your sophomore year, you exit the program and you can transfer into CAS for Economics.
My question is, would joining the Liberal Studies Core program be bad for me if I want to pursue IB on Wall Street?
Would I be seen as a bad applicant to internships just because of the courses that go on my transcript for the first two years?
Since some other kids would be majoring in Finance at Stern or Economics at CAS, would I even be able to compete for sophomore and junior internships by being part of this program?
Thanks for your time.

Not in liberal studies but have many friends who’re in the program. Apparently it’s really really easy to get a very high GPA with minimal studying. That should be an advantage for you. IIRC you only spend one year abroad? That shouldn’t be too bad if it’s your freshman year. I think you’re allowed to take 16 credits outside of your school so you can take econ/finance classes even though you’re in LSP. I would advice to transfer out asap. One of my teammates transferred out of the program after a year. Other than that everything is pretty much up to you - you have the same resources to network, apply to jobs, etc.
Idk how much being in LSP will hurt your chances if you know your finance stuff. If I were to guess, only a bit if you network like a maniac. I know people majoring in philosophy and stuff who’ve worked at some top HFs so taking easy classes or something shouldn’t hurt a lot
Awesome to hear. I'll try getting placed in the NY group for LIberal Studies program and try taking advantage of the resources from Day 1. Hopefully, I don't have to transfer but we'll see if I hate the program lol.
Btw, how hard is it to internally transfer into Stern?
Don’t you already know where you’re spending your first year at the time of acceptance? I thought so (maybe I’m wrong idk about lsp)
Quite a few of my friends transferred to stern after their freshman year - if you have a gpa around or higher 3.8, have a good reason to transfer, and have taken a couple of stern classes you should be good to go

NYU Liberal Arts? (Originally Posted: 07/19/2018)
Hi, I was just wondering if NYU Economics places well on the street since my chances of getting into Stern aren't great. I visited and was not really a fan of the place but if Econ at NYU will get me an IB job then I will just put my head down and get through 4 years if thats what it takes.
