The Adult Bachelor’s Program is a close-knit community of students, alumni, and faculty. In our classrooms—both in New York City and online—you study alongside artists and activists, writers and media makers, parents and military veterans, career starters and experienced professionals. Despite these diverse backgrounds and experiences, all of our students have common goals: to further their education, improve their lives and careers, and help create a more equitable and sustainable world.
