Overview
Students can study Journalism + Design as a major (BA, Journalism + Design), a minor, or a self-designed major (BA or BS, Liberal Arts).
The program focuses on:

- Community engagement
- Excellence in writing, visual literacy, and design
- Developing the imagination and creative confidence needed to be a leader in the field
You’ll learn from cutting-edge, respected professionals and scholars from the fields of both journalism and design.

You’ll be grounded in the fundamentals of serious journalism while being pushed to explore its boundaries.
The Journalism + Design program was created in consultation with some of the most prominent minds in news innovation as well as traditional journalism. Advisors and friends of the program come from the New York Times, The Guardian, ProPublica, The Center for Investigative Reporting, WNYC, and The Knight Foundation. This groundbreaking program is distinguished by its focus on journalistic practice supported by the design process. The flexibility of the program allows for student feedback to help shape its future direction.

Funding
The New School maintains an extensive program of scholarships and grants-in-aid based on academic merit and demonstrated financial need. Awards are usually made as part of the admission process. Institutional scholarships may be combined with government supported grants and loans in a single financial aid package. Scholarships and grants are normally applied to tuition costs. They can range from several hundred dollars to full tuition and do not require repayment.
Scholarships may be reduced or canceled if requested applications and verification documents are not received by the stated deadlines. Need-based scholarships do not automatically renew for the same amount in subsequent years. Changes in need calculations, late FAFSA submission, or refusal of a subsidized student loan may result in a modified award.Undergraduate Students
- U.S. citizens and permanent residents must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for a financial aid package.
- International students in the NSPE undergraduate program or a Parsons AAS program must file the Undergraduate International Student Scholarship Applications to be considered for financial aid.
- There is no separate aid application for other international undergraduates.
