New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD, Arabic: جامعة نيويورك أبوظبي) is a degree-granting portal campus of New York University, established as a private liberal arts college in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Together with the main sites in New York and Shanghai, the portal campus is part of NYU's Global Network University. The founding of this research university through a partnership with NYU and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi based on a shared understanding of the essential roles and challenges of higher education in the 21st century was a big milestone for Abu Dhabi and the MENA region.
It started in 2008 as a temporary site for conferences and cultural events. The academic program opened in September 2010 at the university's provisional downtown site. It was moved permanently in 2014 to Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi.[2][3]
The university has produced 22 Rhodes Scholars since its opening in 2010.[4]
New York University Abu Dhabi is accredited by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA), the UAE Federal Government's quality assurance agency for higher education. NYUAD is also accredited as an additional location of NYU by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, an institutional accreditation agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
