CREATE A WORLD THAT DOESN’T EXIST YET
SEVEN SCHOOLS— ONE UNIVERSITY CHANGING THE WORLD The most important thing to know about The New School is in our name. For more than a century, we’ve continually reimagined the future and redrawn the boundaries of a traditional college education. What’s old has brought us to this pivotal moment in our history. Only the new—new thinking, new voices, new ways of evaluating and experiencing the world—can inform the work we need to do to make the world a better, more just place. At The New School, you’ll encounter a community of changemakers committed to rethinking everything. We’re a progressive university dedicated to challenging what you believe, how you create, and how you voice your opinions. Our seven colleges offer courses in art and design, music and performance, liberal arts and social sciences, management, media, and more. Whatever your area of study, you’ll use creativity and independent thought to put your passions into action and change the status quo. Join us in New York City or Paris. Enjoy the academic freedom to create unique courses of study. Dissolve the walls between traditional disciplines—and between the classroom and the world. Become a part of an exceptionally diverse student body that shares a desire to catalyze change in the world. Learn something new—every day.
