New York City - Overview

As a leading global city, New York hosts many of the world’s innovative, cutting edge companies and supports the largest economy of any city anywhere. The result – practically any career is possible in New York. Past NYC interns have coordinated a fashion show for a top designer, learned about financial markets and securities, critiqued scripts for plays and movies, listened to new and up-and-coming bands, examined x-rays at a veterinary hospital, and so much more. You'll be living in the heart of Manhattan, so when the word day comes to a close, anything is possible in "The City That Never Sleeps."

Health, Safety, and Security

• The health, safety and security of each student is our primary concern.
• For 24 hour/emergency care, students are taken to the Beth Israel Medical Center, one of New York City's premier hospitals.
• Discovery Internships staff make all medical appointments, transport and accompany students to medical facilities, obtain prescription medications and notify parents after medical visits.
• Entry to our residence hall at NYU is restricted to residents and authorized guests only.
• Discovery Internship resident counselors live in the same secure residence hall as the students. 
• For additional safety, there are daily/nightly sign-ins and room checks. 
• In keeping with a collegiate atmosphere, students are permitted to walk on campus and in our “home area” around Union Square and Greenwich Village, but are required to be in small groups.
