Pushing boundaries through rigorous learning
At The New School, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and creativity is expected and supported.聽
Our multidimensional and integrated academic approach is designed to foster deep critical thinking and creative problem solving. We afford students the freedom to explore and chart their own personalized path of study. This is where hard work and autonomy meet. The result is more than knowledge; it is students actualizing their potential and their vision.聽

Our small classes put students face-to-face with leading faculty, where they can ask questions, delve deep, iterate, postulate, and collaborate. Through intensive project-based learning and research, students gain hands-on experience that can be put to use as soon as they graduate. Our students don鈥檛 just explore challenging problems鈥攖hey prototype innovative solutions. And through internship opportunities across New York City, they get real-world experience, as well as the chance to expand their professional networks.
The integrated curriculum that is a hallmark of our university means students can immerse themselves in multiple disciplines. This approach puts rigorous intellectual and creative exploration at our core, and allows students to develop tools to solve problems creatively in a changing and complex world.聽
The courageous intellectual spirit of The New School鈥檚 founders remains present in the academic rigor, creative exploration, and multidimensional study that define our university.聽
