NEWSCHOOL

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 and The New School for Social Research. This fall, the four colleges will be consolidated into two, with Parsons and Performing Arts combining as will Lang and NSSR.
