We’re here to guide you through the New School application process. Many students and their communities have been affected by natural disasters this year. If you're among those who have been affected and have questions or concerns about deadline extensions,
fee waivers, or anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out with requests for support and flexibility. If you have any questions, please email our admission counselors at admission@newschool.edu.
Each of our graduate programs has unique application requirements as part of the application process, such as auditions, portfolio submissions, or essays. Our Office of Admission has created helpful videos to
help you prepare the various elements of your application file.
