The New School awards certificates of completion in several areas of study. A certificate attests to successful completion of a structured program of courses designed to establish proficiency in a specific field. The following certificates are currently offered:
Tuition for Certificate Students: Tuition for non-credit certificate students is listed with course descriptions. Tuition for credit certificate students depends on the student's status and the number of credits assigned to the course.
Grades: Certificate students receive a grade of Approved (AP) or Not Approved (NA). (Credit students should consult their program advisor to find out the minimum letter grade required for certificate approval.) Permanent records are maintained for all certificate students, and transcripts are available.
* These certificate programs may be taken for academic credit. Others are offered for non-credit study only. Each certificate program has specific requirements. All certificate students are responsible for knowing and completing attendance and academic performance requirements for their courses.
† Students can complete these certificates on site, online, or in combination.
