For more than a century, Parsons has been inspired by the transformative potential of design. Today the school’s groundbreaking academic programs carry forward that mission, making Parsons the #1 design school in the United States and one of the top three globally. At the heart of a comprehensive university, The New School, Parsons draws on a range of academic fields to deliver a uniquely interdisciplinary education enriched by the resources of its home in New York City and branch campus in Paris. Here the next generation of creative leaders engage in real-world learning and develop as critical thinkers and makers grappling with the pressing issues of our time.
