Partnerships

UAI has a partnership with NYU Tandon School of Engineering where each semester, a cohort of Juniors are able to participate in a pre-engineering course on NYU's Brooklyn campus. Through this rigorous program, UAI students learn how to code and build a robot, as well as gain experience as a college student for a semester

College Now at the New York City College of Technology
