Graduate programs and information sessions

Creative professionals in the 21st century navigate a networked global culture. At Parsons School of Design, interdisciplinary graduate programs based in advanced studio practice and research prepare students for a future that doesn’t yet exist. Master’s students benefit from small seminars and studios and work closely with faculty to plan an individualized study path. Labs and research institutes facilitate collaboration with peers throughout The New School, and the school’s NYC setting connects students to unique learning opportunities outside the classroom.
