About

History

The New School was founded in 1919, in New York City by a small group of prominent American intellectuals and educators who were frustrated by the intellectual timidity of traditional colleges. The founders, set out to create a new kind of academic institution, one where faculty and students would be free to honestly and directly address the problems facing societies.

Education

Theere are 134 multidimensional academic programs which free students from conventional boundaries, allowing them to learn deeply from many perspectives. They can explore courses across our colleges and disciplines and become immersed in multiple areas of learning related to their areas of interest. The benefits of this academic freedom are enormous.

Imagine an academic experience in which you chart your own course of study and have the opportunity to engage in deep intellectual inquiry and to seek answers to pressing problems through creative discovery.

Research

Academic study and creative learning happen inside and outside of the classroom at The New School. Across the campus, students and faculty come together in interactive, collaborative spaces to rethink, redesign, and reimagine the world.

In these labs, centers, facilities, and institutes, scholarly rigor and intellectual freedom collide, generatinggroundbreaking work that challenges the way we traditionally approach problems and their solutions.

Career

Our purpose is to educate, support, and inspire students in their professional pursuits. Career Services and Experiential Opportunities is dedicated to assisting students in making connections between their academic experiences and professional paths while engaging with a competitive global market. We help students build their professional networks by fostering connections with alumni, faculty, and employers.

Services offered include an online job board hosted on The Village - Careers, job and internship search assistance, interview and portfolio workshops, networking opportunities, career fairs, internship support, resources, and more.
