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 IBEX 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.
• At Universite Paris Dauphine, students can complete up to 6 credits (2 or 3 classes) of their concentration. The remaining half of your concentration needs to be completed in residence at Stern. There are no exceptions to this policy. Students with concentrations that have more than a 12 credit and 4 class minimum, please contact your Advisor for specific guidance.
• 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.

Dauphine Pre-Approved Courses

• Review the list of Dauphine Pre-Approved courses via the link below (requires NYU Stern login). The courses listed on this sheet 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 on this pre-approved list, 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 the spreadsheet.
• If you see a course on Dauphine's website that you would like to take, but it is not listed below, you must submit the syllabus to Stern’s International Programs team for approval.
• Once Dauphine publishes its confirmed courses for the semester you will be attending, you can revise your list as needed based on what is being offered.

Special Notes

• Historically, Dauphine courses have been 6 ECTS, which transfer back to NYU Stern as 3 credits each. However, more recently, Dauphine has changed some of its course offerings to now be worth 3 ECTS, which transfer back to NYU Stern as 2 credits each. Please double-check the syllabus of each course you are taking to confirm the number of credits and ensure you are enrolled as a full-time student at NYU.
