Your First Year
You are introduced to Parsons’ distinctive educational methodology by our first-year curriculum, in which you explore a range of approaches to art and design. The course of study is carefully tailored to prepare you for your undergraduate program and acquaint you with interdisciplinary practice. You develop the conceptual, studio, and critical-thinking capacities you need to become a flexible problem solver, skilled maker, and lifelong learner. “We designed ways to bring together students of all programs and disciplines in the first year, encouraging them to find the most innovative, effective solutions and collaborate, just as they will in their future creative and professional lives.”
Minors Minors broaden your skills and give you opportunities to interact with peers in Paris and New York. Fashion Studies and Creative Entrepreneurship can be completed in Paris. Pursue other minors online or study abroad at The New School in NYC.
