Begin or complete your bachelor's degree, on campus in Greenwich Village or online, in an innovative program tailored specifically to the needs of working adults and other non-traditional learners.

Students in the Bachelor’s Program in Liberal Arts come from a wide range of backgrounds and choose The New School for a variety of reasons. Some need to balance family and work obligations and want classes that meet once a week in the afternoons or evenings. Others are looking for a transfer credit policy that takes into consideration their previous college credits and professional accomplishments. Most of them know that a rigid set of academic requirements suitable for the average college student won’t work well for them.

The New School is different. With the assistance of a faculty advisor, you create an individualized program of study in the liberal arts based on your intellectual interests and professional goals. We offer:

• A flexible schedule of evening, day, part‑time
• Extensive online curriculum
• The ability to transfer up to 84 credits
• College credit for relevant prior learning and professional expertise
• Academic and career advising
• An accelerated bachelor's/master's degree option
• Financial aid and internships

The Bachelor's Program is part of The New School—a leading urban university offering some of the nation's most distinguished undergraduate and graduate degree programs in design, liberal arts, and the performing arts.
