State the obvious.

Where Critical inquiry meets social Engagement In 1919, a few great minds imagined a school that would never settle for the status quo, one that would critically rethink learning and the social, political, and economic structures that shape our world. The New School was the result. Today it is an intellectually progressive university housing five schools and colleges, including the Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment.

This legacy—coupled with Milano’s commitment to promoting social equity, civic engagement, and economic inclusion—prepares students to become the leaders the world needs. After completing Milano’s practice-based programs, graduates are ready to take their place in public, private, and nonprofit organizations. The school’s alumni network of nearly 8,000 graduates lead effective cross-sector collaborations in which they have real impact in promoting sustainability and social good.

Overview

CREATE YOUR OWN PATH AND FORGE NEW CONNECTIONS Gain Critical Skills Milano graduates emerge with skills and experience—critical thinking, effective communication, analytical abilities, and interdisciplinary teamwork—that make them sought after in the workforce. They gain a deep understanding of social, political, and economic forces that shape their communities while developing the ability to lead change.

They acquire cross-functional technical and interpersonal skills, including professional relationship building and creative problem solving, that take into consideration the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.

Focus on Your Career Milano offers lifetime career services, supporting graduates with individual career advisement, career workshops, seminars, panel discussions, and networking events with alumni and prospective employers.

Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment

Flexible Career Paths and a Lifelong Community A Milano degree allows for focused study while preparing graduates to succeed in a variety of fields and sectors or shift into new ones.

The career paths of our alumni are varied, crossing the public, nonprofit, and private sectors. They go on to become leaders in local and state government, policy and advocacy organizations, social enterprises, consulting firms, benefit corporations, foundations, grassroots organizations, international NGOs, and environmental agencies and organizations.

Alumni remain part of the Milano community, collaborating with peers, offering career advice to students, and serving as ambassadors who can provide networking, internship, and job opportunities.

students with innovators, policymakers, organization leaders, and community activists working in a global capital, New York City. Graduates take advantage of networks formed and experience gained—and go on to help strengthen organizations and communities near and far.

Milano’s curriculum is based on applied learning. Our courses offer students the opportunity to interact with industry professionals and make a difference in the real world. For example, in Urban Policy Lab—the Public and Urban Policy program’s signature course— students drafted food policy recommendations that eventually became law. Their peers in the Digital Equity Lab developed proposals for wireless corridors for New York City’s underserved communities.

And in the Managing the Client-Consultant Relationship course, Milano alumni enlisted students in their organizational change

Overview

Public Programs and Centers Milano students have access to and participate in the many public lectures, seminars, conferences, film series, and other special events offered regularly by Milano and other schools and colleges of The New School.

Transforming Policy in New York City The Center for New York City Affairs, Milano’s applied research institute, drives innovation in social policy. The center’s programs include InsideSchools, which conducts independent research on New York City’s public schools; Feet in 2 Worlds, an immigrant journalism project; Child Welfare Watch, a statistical survey monitoring New York City’s child welfare system; and the Institute for Transformative Mentoring, a dynamic professional training program.

A Legacy of Social Innovation The Impact Entrepreneurship Initiative is a university-wide program offering early-stage entrepreneurial students from diverse backgrounds the training, resources, and networks they need to

transform challenges into opportunities. The program’s ultimate goal is to foster a more inclusive economy and advance social, economic, and environmental good.

A Center for Climate Justice and Design The Tishman Environment and Design Center is a New School institute that integrates bold design, policy, and social justice approaches to environmental issues. Milano works closely with the Tishman Center to connect students and faculty to innovative course offerings, community partnerships, and opportunities for interdisciplinary research. The center plays an active role in applying The New School’s design and social justice tenets to the climate change movement.
