Off-Campus Program for Military Personnel
As part of it commitment to adult learning, The New School first began offering programs that cater to the needs of military personnel at Griffiss Air Force Base in Syracuse, New York, in 1976—and the Upstate New York program was later consolidated at the Nuclear Power Unit in Ballston Spa, where courses have been available since 1979.
More recently, Milano's Bachelor of Science in Human Resources has also been offered at the Naval Weapons Station in Charleston, South Carolina. The flexible undergraduate program accommodates rotating work schedules and specific training needs, in Milano's tradition of combining theory and practice within a diverse and close-knit learning community. Milano's electronic campus reaches military personnel anywhere in the world with courses online that are the same in scope and content.
The New School will accept up to 81 lower-level transfer credits and nine upper-level credits, based on military training that corresponds to credits recommended by the American Council on Education. In addition, the Bachelor's program requires 10 core courses and a number of electives, taught by an active complement of part-time faculty with terminal degrees and/or extensive practice backgrounds.
Students emerge from the Off-Campus Program with competencies in global and local management, economic and data interpretation, analytical thinking, decision-making, and business communications.
