The university considers student employment to be an extension of the academic experience, and we strive to provide guidance and resources to enhance learning and to provide students with the necessary financial support so they can focus on their academic career. Whenever possible, our students’ employment should complement and reinforce their educational program.

Our student employment program enables students to gain valuable work experience, build a professional network, and develop connections with our faculty and staff. Positions that students can hold at The New School include but are not limited to Student Assistants, Student Advisors, Resident Advisors, Teaching Assistants, and Course Assistants.
