Parsons School of Design at The New School

Parsons has been motivated by the transformational power of design for almost a century. Today, the school's ground-breaking academic programs carry on that aim, propelling Parsons to the top of the design school rankings in the United States and among the top three internationally. At the core of a comprehensive university — The New School — Parsons relies on a variety of academic subjects to provide a unique interdisciplinary education that is enhanced by the resources of its New York City headquarters and Paris branch campus.

Parsons School of Design prepares students to flourish in a constantly changing world by providing them with the information and skills they need. Students work with peers, industry partners, and communities all across the world, as well as in New York City, a worldwide hub for art, design, and business. A broad community of students at Parsons develops critical thinking skills and applies them to problems ranging from environmental degradation to physical accessibility and humanitarian crises. Students investigate global phenomena at many venues and scales of involvement, from on-campus research programs to collaborations that influence change in New York and throughout the world, via a network of linked design laboratories.
