At The New School, we've been redefining education for over a century. Founded in 1919 by progressive intellectuals seeking a more relevant model of learning, our university brings together scholars, artists, and designers to challenge convention and create positive change in the world. Located in the heart of New York City, we're home to over 9,000 students from more than 100 countries, offering 135+ degree and diploma programs across our renowned colleges. Our community thrives on interdisciplinary collaboration and fearless inquiry.
With 34 academic centers and institutes defying disciplinary boundaries, our students, faculty, and alumni engage in groundbreaking research and creative practice that addresses the world's most pressing problems. From Parsons School of Design and Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts to the College of Performing Arts and The New School for Social Research, each of our schools embodies our commitment to progressive education that prepares students to succeed in - and shape - a rapidly changing society. We believe in education that's not just about acquiring knowledge, but about applying it to make the world a better place.
