Can I study in New york only for a couple months?

I’m from Brazil and I would love to study in New York City, but I only have a month or two. Do you know any school where I can study only for a couple months. I would love to study something on medicine area, like acupuncture, massage, or something like this, but if i dont find anything i can also study english or music. I would like to have some websites or emails that i can contact some colleges. Anyone can help me? 😛

Yes, you can. Most schools in NY offer classes through their continuing education departments which anyone can take. In NY, many universities run on the following schedule:

Classes will start in/and run through:

– September or October, through December

– January (one month, intensive “winter term” classes)

– January/February through May

– May or June through July, and July through August or September (summer term, shorter, intensive classes)

So they run classes in fall for about 3 or 4 months, in January for one month, in spring for about 3 or 4 months, and in summer for two, two month sessions. You can sign up for one class or for many. It sounds like the winter or the summer terms might fit best for you.

In terms of universities you can check into, try the following (again, their continuing education departments, or equivalent):

– Columbia University

– New York University

– The New School

– Mannes College of Music

– Manhattan School of Music

– Julliard

I doubt any of these offer much in terms of massage or acupuncture, but all offer English and music and things like that. Some of them offer classes in the medical fields, but more like nursing, life sciences and etc. You really won’t find much in terms of acupuncture and massage at traditional colleges.
