Students benefit from our experienced faculty of scholars and practitioners, peer-to-peer collaboration, and a curriculum that reflects current theory and practice. The program can be completed in as little as two semesters of full-time study or in a year and a half of part-time study.

Students are advised to refer to the current New School Academic Catalog for degree completion requirements and to confirm their progress in satisfying those requirements with their advisors.
