4 NYU Tisch School of the Arts New York University (NYU) is a private research university headquartered in New York City. Established in 1831, it is one of the largest private universities in the United States. NYU is particularly known for its programs in law, business, and the arts. With multiple campuses around the world, including sites in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai, NYU has a notably global perspective in its academic offerings.

Twice the number of successes, each year, of USC. Most Oscars of any program. Statistically, Tisch is still #1 over USC. AFI has far fewer successes, less Ocars, Emmies, Grammys, Tony Awards, Sundance entries or wins etc. Look at the recent Forbes list, compiled off of the last five years of Grammys, Emmies, Tony's and Oscars, for another reference. Tisch was in first place (2019) with twice as many as the second school. USC does better, in other lists, but never breaks more than half of what NYU receives in any given year.
