Now, not enough people know
That the master’s degree is the most rapidly-growing degree
in higher education.

"The Graduate School of Arts and Science MASTER’S COLLEGE"
(Stimpson) We have something called the master’s college,
in which our wonderful students
engage in a wide range of human thought.
I created the Master’s College because we care about master’s students
and this was a way for a graduate school
to show how important master’s students are
and to give them an enhanced sense of community
and intellectual adventure.
(Applause)
(Man) Each person in this room,
recognizes the other as human.
How would selecting genetic traits affect that recognition?
(Woman) There are so many events and activities
"Student, NYU Graduate School of Arts and Science"— organized by the master’s college program board.
(Indistinct chatter)
(Woman) This is a master’s college toast.
Throughout the year,
"Student, NYU Graduate School of Arts and Science" — the master’s program board puts on different events,
and they invite students from across disciplines to attend,
and it seems like there are different currents of ideas
that kind of float around,
and that students can get together and discuss
and when they have different perspectives on things,
it can really enrich your own perspective.

(Stimpson) You are a student.
You’re putting your mind into action.
You’re not just a number here.
You’re a significant student,
as part of a wave of master’s education,
one of the great reforming waves in higher education.
We work different perspectives, different experiences,
and we want talent,
wherever we might find it.
Diversity creates a multiplicity of ideas,
but then, how do you bring together diverse populations?
One way is the common idea
of identity as a student.
♫♪♫
We wanted to meet each other and work together,
and to let master’s students know,
every day,
how important a master’s degree is.
And how important their ideas are,
and how original.
And they’re going to take their NYU Arts and Science master’s degree,
and go out,
and shape the world.
