  • Organizations today need leaders who can navigate a fast-changing economy, applying an entrepreneurial outlook and keen analytical skills to emerging business opportunities and global forces. At The New School's colleges and schools — from Parsons and Milano to Media Studies and Performing Arts — management and entrepreneurship education goes beyond promoting conventional business approaches to develop creative problem solvers skilled at managing within future-facing, creative, socially engaged environments. Our distinctive approach is rooted in five overarching themes and in-demand capacities: Design, Futures, Human Experience, Social Justice, and Systems.
