Faculty
The faculty of the Adult Bachelor’s Program is a diverse group of scholars and practitioners whose research interests include the 26 subject areas offered by the program. A select group of instructors also serve as the program’s core faculty advisors. These faculty members have in-depth knowledge of The New School and the liberal arts and collaborate with students to help them develop a coherent plan of study that not only assists them in earning their degree but also positions them for what comes next.
