Parsons Associate’s Degree Programs

An Intensive, Flexible Curriculum Parsons’ AAS degrees are intensive programs designed for mature students who want to pursue a new career. AAS students benefit from the same resources as bachelor’s and master’s students enrolled throughout The New School.

Applicants are required to have college experience or a minimum of two years of professional experience. Most AAS students have bachelor’s or advanced degrees, but even if you have no transferable credits, you can earn an AAS degree in two years. (If you are a current or recently graduated high school student, consider our bachelor’s degree programs.) Working professionals can study part-time. In addition, many classes are offered in the evening, and elective options across the university are offered both on-site and online. Most students with some eligible transfer credit finish the program in about three semesters of full-time study. Students who receive the maximum number of appropriate transfer credits may qualify for the fast-track option and earn a degree in two semesters. For complete curriculum and course information, visit newschool.edu/aas.

In addition to its AAS curricula, Parsons offers a variety of bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. If you have questions or want to discuss options based on your interests and goals, email us: thinkparsonsAAS@newschool.edu.

card designs produced for a fundraiser sponsored by AID FOR AIDS International and Marc Jacobs Inc. Your Education: Broad, Deep, and Rigorous The field of graphic design is broad and deep, so your education is, too.

You learn to design for print and the Internet, exploring typography, publication design for print and the Web, and interaction design as well as advanced topics like editorial design, branding, digital product design, and advertising design. Assignments mirror real-world graphic design challenges and become part of your professional portfolio. Visiting lecturers like graphic design blogger Tina Roth-Eisenberg (swissmiss.com) and cognitive psychologist Alan Gilchrist bring fresh perspectives into the classroom.

Jason Booher Art Director Blue Rider Press/Penguin Random House Born in Germany, Jason Booher graduated from Princeton with a BA in English and a teaching certificate. But teaching wasn’t the right career for him, he discovered. After stumbling upon some design journals, Booher realized he could pursue his interest in storytelling, drawing, and problem solving as a graphic designer.

He entered the AAS program with little knowledge of type or composition but now creates award-winning dynamic and innovative book covers for Knopf and teaches at Parsons. He is currently art director at Blue Rider Press, an imprint of Penguin Books. Booher’s work is featured in Slate Magazine, the New Yorker, It’s Nice That, and the blogs of the Type Directors Club and other organizations. Of his time at Parsons, Booher says, “Incredible instructors and peers gave me an intense grounding in design principles. The program guided me into a new world

INTERIOR DESIGN

The Theory and Practice of Designing Interiors In the program, you take three design studios focusing on residential, retail, workplace, and hospitality interiors.

The AAS professional program allows you to take electives offered throughout Parsons to develop the range of skills that will be required in the future workplace. Internships at prominent design firms like Victoria Hagan Interiors, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, AvroKO, Ghislaine Viñas Interior Design, and Yabu Pushelberg

The program’s annual publication, WORK, introduces you to the diverse interior work of students, faculty, and alumni. The city’s museums, archives, and designed spaces present opportunities for both applied and critical study. A key resource is Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, an important collection of decorative arts and furniture and the sponsor of many industry-related events.

Founder and Principal Designer Mary Davis Interiors Mary Davis received bachelor’s degrees in comparative history and cultural anthropology from the University of Washington before entering the AAS Interior Design program. Davis cites opportunities she had at Parsons—such as mentoring set designers working on a 2010 New School drama production—that developed her skill in creating cost-effective user-specific design.

Davis first gained experience in residential and commercial interiors. She is a certified aging-in-place specialist (CAPS); a central mission of her practice is addressing clients’ changing physical needs.

Today Davis focuses on commercial interiors in partnership with Homepolish, an interior design start-up. Of her time at Parsons, Davis says, “I learned to reach outside of my comfort zone to give the best design work for my clients. And that education doesn’t stop after graduation; you have to keep learning to stay competitive and inspired.”

When friends requested design help, Yedid turned to his AAS professor Thomas Hickey, proposing that the two collaborate on projects, with management by Hickey. Their success led Yedid to establish an interior design department within Hickey’s firm, GRADE New York, after graduating. Today the partners and
