New York University’s Singapore arts school was an “educational scam” that saddled students with high tuition while providing low-quality coursework, a new lawsuit alleges.

NYU’s Tisch Asia, which opened in 2007 and closed in 2015, promised students the same degrees and professional training available at the New York City campus, the Manhattan federal court suit says.

Instead, Tisch Asia’s attendees — many of whom were rejected applicants from NYU’s New York City-based masters of fine arts programs — got “subpar” teachers and facilities, as well as equipment.

They were also excluded from “grants, competitions, and networking opportunities available to students at Tisch New York,” the suit says.

The alums suing NYU spent between $100,000 to $165,000 in tuition, says the suit, which seeks class action status.

A rep for NYU, John Beckman, called the suit “wholly without merit, and we expect to prevail in court.”

“The students at Tisch Asia had the same curriculum as Tisch uses in New York” and “many Tisch Asia courses were taught by New York-based faculty and all were taught by highly qualified faculty; students had excellent facilties and equipment; and graduates received a Tisch School of the Arts degree,” Beckman said.
