The New School is one of only a few universities in the United States offering a five-year dual-degree program that enables undergraduate students to earn both a Bachelor of Arts in a liberal arts field and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in either music or art and design. Parsons students pursuing the BA/BFA dual degree complete a five-year curriculum (168-180 credits, depending on the chosen majors). Upon graduation, you simultaneously earn your BFA from Parsons as well as a BA degree from Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts.
The New School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
