The New School is a private college. The New School was founded in New York City in 1919 in the heart of Greenwich Village as an institution dedicated to intellectual and artistic freedom. Today it is a leading university offering some of the nation's best-respected degree, certificate, and continuing education programs in art and design, the social sciences, liberal arts, management and public policy, and the performing arts. The New School features a low student-to-teacher ratio, one of the reasons our university is the top choice among international students in the United States. Come visit and see whether The New School is a good fit for you. It is a progressive urban university where the walls between disciplines are dissolved, so that journalists can collaborate with designers, architects with social researchers, media specialists with activists, poets with musicians.
