Parsons School of Design at The New School

Parsons School of Design enables students to develop the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing society. Students collaborate with peers, industry partners, and communities around the world and in New York City, a global centre of art, design, and business. At Parsons, a diverse community of students develop critical thinking skills and apply them to challenges ranging from environmental degradation to physical accessibility and humanitarian crises. Through a network of interconnected design laboratories, students explore global phenomena at multiple sites and scales of engagement, from on-campus research initiatives to partnerships that effect change in New York and around the world.In fall 2013, Parsons began offering undergraduate degree programs at our new Paris campus — visit Parsons Paris to learn more.
