NYU is a private, global, non-sectarian and not-for-profit institution of higher education organized into 10 undergraduate schools and 15 graduate/professional schools, with a roughly even split of students between the divisions.
Arts and Science is currently NYU's largest academic division.
It has three subdivisions: the College of Arts and Science, the Graduate School of Arts and Science, and the Liberal Studies program.
The College of Arts and Science and Liberal Studies program are undergraduate divisions, and the former has existed since the founding of NYU.

According to NYU, it has created a 'global network university' with its primary campus, two 'portal' campuses, and 12 academic sites.
The 'portal' campuses at NYU Shanghai and NYU Abu Dhabi function as full-fledged colleges, allowing students to study all four years of their undergraduate studies and receive a degree, never having stepped foot on what would be considered NYU's traditional campus in New York.
The academic sites at Accra, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Florence, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Paris, Prague, Sydney, Tel Aviv, and Washington, D.C. function as study away sites, allowing students to spend up to a year away from their home campus.
NYU, citing a report by the Institute of International Education, asserts that it has sent more students abroad and brought more international students in than any other university for five continuous years.

The President of New York University, is selected by the Board of Trustees and serves as the primary executive officer of the university for an unspecified term length.
On March 18, 2015, Andrew D. Hamilton became the 16th and current President of NYU.
His administration's current objectives include measures of strengthening NYU's science and engineering departments, expanding diversity and inclusionary practices, maintaining its status as a global university and attempting to make the university broadly more affordable.
