Our colleges and graduate schools include Parsons School of Design, Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, the College of Performing Arts, The New School for Social Research, the Schools of Public Engagement, and Parsons Paris.

Since our founding in 1919, The New School has redrawn and redefined the boundaries of intellectual and creative thought as a preeminent academic center.

Our rigorous, multidimensional approach to education dissolves walls between disciplines and helps nurture progressive minds. At our university, students have the academic freedom to shape their unique, individual paths for a complex and rapidly changing world.

With leading-edge faculty and world-renowned alumni, we are committed to developing students who will have an impact on the world and address the most pressing social issues of our time.

This effort is bolstered by the university’s Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice, which is committed to fostering an equitable, inclusive, and socially just environment for our community.

Mission

Our mission is to prepare students to understand, contribute to, and succeed in a rapidly changing society, thus making the world a better and more just place. As a university where design and social research drive approaches to studying issues of our time, we seek to provide students with the tools needed to grapple with complex problems facing society and to pursue more fluid and flexible career pathways.

Student Leadership

Committed to excellence in all areas, the leaders of our university ensure that we adapt and respond to contemporary issues, create an inclusive community, and foster an environment in which students challenge convention through scholarship and creative exploration.

With the creation of the Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice, our leadership has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to bringing together students, staff, and faculty who reflect our society’s diversity of thought and identities. This effort has further advanced equity on campus.
