Apply for Fall 2026

On this page you'll find a universal checklist of required application materials, as well as specific instructions for students applying from international high schools or colleges, students whose native language is not English, transfer students, homeschooled students, and students seeking readmission to The New School.

The New School community is deeply disheartened by Hampshire College's sudden decision to close its doors. Eugene Lang College shares Hampshire’s dedication to reimagining a liberal arts education and helping students develop the skills, knowledge, and creativity needed to address the most pressing issues of our time. We want to support all new and continuing students affected by this closure. We are offering Hampshire students smooth transfer pathways to Eugene Lang College.
