History
The "e-Poly" story began back in 2006, as the online learning wing of the then Polytechnic University. The department was initially designed for its on-campus students to blend and accelerate their time to degree completion by taking some courses online. The first program offered entirely online was the Cybersecurity master's degree. By 2009, e-Poly program offerings included 3 master's degrees and 2 advanced certificates. In 2009, e-Poly was renamed NYU-ePoly, in recognition of the university's affiliation with NYU. Following the School's name change in October, 2015, the department was renamed NYU Tandon Online. As growth remains constant, today NYU Tandon Online offers over 65 online courses in diverse technology and management fields.
