    Admission Workshops

    Find out more about what The New School for Social Research looks for in applicants and learn how to put a solid application together. We discuss the application essays in detail, focusing on the purpose of each essay in the admission process, how they are evaluated, and tips on preparing for and writing them. We also cover transfer credits, financial aid, and other items important in the application process.

    Webinars

    Prospective students may participate in online webinars through a combination of web and phone conferencing. Admission-focused and Program-focused sessions are offered, so be sure to check the event description.

    Individual Admission Appointments

    Prospective graduate students are strongly encouraged to meet one-on-one with an admission counselor, either before or after submitting an application.

    One-on-one appointments can be scheduled Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except when the university is closed for holidays or recesses.
