About New

The New School is a private research university in New York City, New York, United States. It was founded in 1919 as The New School for Social Research with a mission dedicated to academic freedom and intellectual inquiry and a home for progressive education. Since then, the school has grown to house four divisions. These include the Parsons School of Design, the Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, the College of Performing Arts (which includes the Mannes School of Music) and The New School for Social Research. This fall, the four colleges will be consolidated into two, with Parsons and Performing Arts (Mannes, Jazz, and Drama) combining as will Lang and NSSR. In addition, the university maintains the Parsons Paris campus and has also launched or housed a range of institutions, such as the Healthy Materials Lab, the Institute for Race, Power, and Political Economy, World Policy Institute, the India China Institute, the Observatory on Latin America, and the Center for New York City Affairs. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity". Approximately 8,500 students are enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Over 70 percent of students are in the creative areas of design, performing, and fine arts.
