NYU Stern Undergraduate Baccalaureate Class of 2020 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Undergraduate Baccalaureate and Commencement?

Undergraduate Baccalaureate is for Stern BS, BS/MS, and BS/BFA candidates and their families and friends. The ceremony recognizes each student individually. Stern’s rescheduled Undergraduate Baccalaureate for the Classes of 2020 and 2021 will take place on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

NYU’s All-University Commencement is for all students graduating from New York University.  With thousands of students expected to attend, graduates are not recognized individually by name.  Instead, the deans introduce each class as a whole and a representative selected in advance will receive a symbolic degree for degree categories.  NYU’s All-University Commencement for the Classes of 2020 and 2021 will take place on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at 6pm ET at Yankee Stadium.
