Who We Are
UT in New York is an internship-first experiential learning program that provides students of all majors the opportunity to live, work and learn in one of the most dynamic metropolitan cities in the world. UTNY is a two-semester program designed to give students an edge in the competitive industries based in New York. Participants work with the UTNY team to enhance their professional skills, then spend a semester or summer in New York taking classes and completing an internship or independent study related to their academic or professional interests. Additional programming immerses students in the rich culture of the city, expands their understanding of local industries, and develops their professional networks.
What We're Fundraising For
New York is a globally recognized center for numerous industries and career fields. Building a network in New York doesn’t just give students a network in the city, it gives them a network that extends around the world. Working in New York is a career-changing experience, but the city’s cost can be prohibitive. For many applicants, New York City and its opportunities are inaccessible without a scholarship. Finances are the #1 reason students decline their program offer. We want to ensure that more Longhorns can access these exclusive industries and competitive internships.
