To begin translating theory to practice, you will have the opportunity to visit the New York University NYU Bookstores' Main Bookstore and Computer Store. The Main Bookstore carries course materials, NYU clothing and gifts, supplies, stationary, trade books, study aids, and more. The Computer Store carries both hardware and software from all the major vendors. This is a unique opportunity to examine how these campus stores thrive in the demanding and competitive retail environment of the Big Apple.
