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.
New York City has no equal. A dynamic center of future-facing people, creativity, and industry, it feeds your growth as a developing artist or designer. And as a student in the center of Greenwich Village, you’re part of a diverse community with deep roots in free thinking, activism, and innovation. Here are some amenities near our campus.
