The New School is a legendary, progressive university comprising eight schools bound by a common, unusual intent: to prepare and inspire its 9,400 undergraduate and graduate students to bring actual, positive change to the world. From its Greenwich Village campus, The New School launches economists and actors, fashion designers and urban planners, dancers and anthropologists, orchestra conductors, filmmakers, political scientists, organizational experts, jazz musicians, scholars, psychologists, historians, journalists, and above all, world citizens-individuals whose ideas and innovations forge new paths of progress in the arts, design, humanities, public policy, and the social sciences. In addition to its 70 graduate and undergraduate degree-granting programs, the university offers certificate programs and more than 1,000 continuing education courses to 13,000 adult learners every year.

The eight divisions that comprise The New School are The New School for General Studies, The New School for Social Research, Parsons The New School for Design, Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy, Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, Mannes College The New School for Music, The New School for Drama, and The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music

The New School was founded in New York City in 1919 as a bastion of intellectual and artistic freedom. Today, it is a leading university containing some of the nation's most respected programs in design, liberal arts, the performing arts, and social and political science. Students from across the country and around the world attend The New School's diverse degree, certificate, and continuing education programs, enjoying small class sizes, superior resources, and renowned faculty of artists, scholars, and professionals who practice what they teach. The New School's founding mission was to create a place where global peace and justice were more than theoretical ideals. To this day, New School students participate in programs that strive for academic excellence, technical mastery, innovation, and engaged world citizenship. The former New School University became The New School by action of the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York in June of 2005.
