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.[5] As growth remains constant, today NYU Tandon Online offers over 65 online courses in diverse technology and management fields.
