Experiential Learning

We believe learning can and should be active and take many forms. That's why the Adult Bachelor's Program at The New School makes experiential learning an integral part of your education. 

For new students, our faculty advisors review your professional and personal background to determine if you are eligible to receive academic credit for prior learning. Once you have completed a few courses in the program, you can earn credit for internships, study abroad, and projects designed through self-directed learning such as professional engagements, artistic and performance pieces, and independent research and projects.

Shape your education with faculty and advisors who will help you develop projects and courses of study to suit your professional and personal needs and goals. Intern at a nonprofit, work a social justice initiative, design and implement an educational program, or study abroad for a semester. It's all possible in a community that thrives on catalyzing diverse experiences into personal achievement and social good.
