Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students by The New School

celebrate everything you are Whatever path you’ve taken to college, we’re ready to welcome you. The New School understands that your needs are different from those of an 18-year-old undergraduate. That’s why our Bachelor’s Program for Adults and Transfer Students offers you the opportunity to selfdesign your degree, giving you the freedom and flexibility to tailor your academic path to your unique goals. You’ll have access to the resources of a leading New York City university and support from a faculty advisor every step of the way. Since 1919, The New School has been a “center for discussion and instruction for mature men and women.” It began offering a bachelor’s degree program for returning veterans and other adults in the 1940s, and continues this rich tradition today. Our progressive university is composed of five extraordinary schools and colleges where students across disciplines find the support they need to be a force of collaboration, innovation, and cross-cultural expression. newschool.edu/bachelorsprogram

NEW PATH FOR YOUR FUTURE

Francisca Sanhueza BS Food Studies

“I thought I would take food studies and photography courses to develop my food styling business. Instead, my courses led me to a totally different career path, focusing on food as a vehicle for social justice.”

Francisca Sanhueza worked for a fruit export company and as a food stylist and graduated from culinary school in her native Chile. She says, “Food is my life.”

Finding new inspiration

David Brown

BA Liberal Arts

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just last week, I struck up a conversation with a Parsons student. We talked for an hour about drawing, design, and innovation. Where else could a liberal arts student have the chance to easily collaborate with a design student? These connections donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen anywhere else.â&#x20AC;?

Lifelong New Yorker and avid learner David Brown served in the military and has worked in fields ranging from commercial real estate to textile sales.

LIFE EXPERIENCE matters

“The life experience I brought to The New School improved my education—and I think it added to the classroom. The program made me a better student, a better researcher, and a better writer.”

Ted Kerr, a writer, artist, and activist from Canada, was a student in the Riggio Honors Program for Writing and Democracy, which is open to gifted adult undergraduates. His internship at Visual AIDS in New York City led to a full-time position there.

“I choose the courses that interest me, and my advisor helps me fit them into the degree program I’m designing. It’s exciting to share ideas with students who are one-third my age.”

Seret Scott-Williams left college to join the civil rights movement as a member of the Free Southern Theater. She later worked as an actor on Broadway, a theater director, and a playwright.
