Fees, Information and Age Requirement

CLASS AND INSTRUCTION FEE

The fee for the NYU summer program is 1700.00 USD

This includes all two hour classes, one ensemble and all masterclasses and NYU performances. Private lessons are available from our list of teachers. These private lesson fees vary from 55.00 USD to 100.00 USD per hour and is set by the private instructor. You can work out the number of lessons with the instructor. You will pay for lessons by giving the money directly to the instructor not NYU.

If you would like college credit for these courses or lessons then there is a completely different fee structure that doesn't include the 1700.00 USD. You are charged by the number of credits for each course. The fee per credit is approximately 1000.00 USD. The Class instruction courses are 3 credits, the ensemble is one credit and lessons can be 2 credits (1/2 hour lesson) or 3 credits (1 hour lesson) You will need to take 14 lessons within the 3 weeks to complete the NYU requirements for lessons. All lessons for credit are not based on an instructors private lesson rate but are based on the credit amount you wish to receive.

The typical age of students is 17 and up with most students in the 18 to 45 year range. You must be 18 years old to stay in the dorm by NY State Law. 17 year old students must gain permission to stay in dorm and a dorm monitor employed.  If you have other living arrangements in NYC then you can attend the Intensive.  Any age can attend but you do have to have a certain skill level in order to attend. If you are younger or need more remedial work there are a list of books that will help you prepare. You will find one of these books at:

NYU has reserved rooms for the Summer NYU Guitar program. These rooms will house 2 students per room. These rooms are available on a first come first serve basis. It is possible that NYU Housing will be able to find housing for more that 20 students but this is not guaranteed. We are limiting the first years enrollment into the NYU Sumer Guitar Program to 50 students. Dorm room will be approximately 870.00 for your 3 week stay.  Meal Plans cost $390 and are available for the 3 week Intensive.  It is best to contact the Special Programs office to find out the lastest costs.  The costs above are approximate.

Please Note again that a student must be 18 years of age to stay in the dorms. Students younger than 18 can stay in the dorms if a dorm monitor is employed.  We usually employ a dorm monitor if we receive more that 5 applicants that are underage.  We suggest that you apply for admission with the understanding that if we do not recieve enough applicants that are underage you won't be able to stay in the dorm.  So far in the history of this event we have always had 5 or more underage applicants but we want you to be aware of the situation.
