In 2007, NYIT became the first American university in Abu Dhabi licensed by the Ministry of Education and Scientific Research (it had previously secured operating approval from the Abu Dhabi Education Council).

With constant collaboration across continents, NYIT courses in Abu Dhabi are taught by New York faculty or internationally recruited professors who meet the same stringent standards as those in the United States. Because all classes are conducted in English, students must be able to speak and write in English.
