Program Overview

About National University of Singapore

The National University of Singapore (NUS) started out as a modest medical school with 23 students in 1905. It was founded by a determined group of businessmen led by Tan Jiak Kim, to serve the needs of the local community. Today, more than 100 years on, as Singapore’s flagship university, it continues to be in service to the country and society. The mission of the National University of Singapore is to educate business leaders and advance knowledge to promote the progress of global business and society. NUS seeks to be a leading global business school recognized for excellence in education and research.

Academic Information

If you are accepted to IBEX, you will attend two individual advising meetings to plan and revise your schedule: one with NYU Stern Academic Advising and one with the NYU Stern International Programs team. As you build your academic schedule for your semester abroad, carefully review and consider the following course information.

IBEX Course Information

You may take a full semester of business classes while abroad on IBEX.
Leave room for at least two general electives in your schedule. This allows you to:
- Take interesting, location-specific courses not offered at Stern, and
- Have more flexibility during the course registration process.
Reference the IBEX Course Guide: What you can or cannot take.
- You can take a maximum of two classes per concentration.
- Accounting courses cannot be taken for credit toward the Accounting or CPA majors/concentrations.
- All IBEX grades will transfer back to NYU Stern as Pass/Fail.

Previously Approved Courses

Listed below are courses that were taken previously by Stern IBEX students and have already been approved for a specific NYU equivalent.
There is no guarantee that the courses listed here will be offered during the specific semester you study abroad. It is important to be flexible. Have a Plan A and Plan B and the space to take some electives.
If a course is already listed below as approved, it does not need to be reviewed again, unless you want to see if it will count towards a new requirement.

Finding New Courses

You are not limited to only taking the courses listed on this page.
If you see a course on NUS's website that you would like to take, but is not listed below, you must submit the syllabus to Stern’s International Programs team for approval.
Once NUS publishes its confirmed courses for the semester you will be attending, you can revise your list as needed based on what is actually being offered.
