The New School
The foundation of The New School in New York City dates back to1919. From the start, the vision was to bring together academics and citizens interested in debating issues that matter to people.
Throughout the years, some of the leading minds of the century have pioneered courses in new areas of social sciences and liberal arts. The New School is the first American university that taught the history of film, and it was one of the first to offer college-level courses in photography and jazz.
‘Dispute, radical ideas, and progressive solutions have always had a home at The New School. Through the years, each of The New School's innovative colleges carries forward this legacy while evolving to provide students with a challenging and relevant education.’
Today, The New School includes five colleges, with courses that reflect the founders' interest in the emerging social sciences, international affairs, liberal arts, history, philosophy, and art, design, management, and performing arts.
