NURTURING ACADEMIC AND CAREER ADVISING
A Comprehensive Support System Built on a foundation of intensive scholarship, The New School is a demanding academic environment that ensures students develop the skills needed to innovate in a changing world. We require a lot from our students to help them reach the levels of success we know they are capable of achieving. Yes, going to The New School will be an adjustment, but it doesn’t have to be a rough one. We strive to make acclimating to college life as easy as possible for our incoming students and continue to support them through their years at The New School and their transition into the world of work after graduation. WE OFFER ADVISING THAT SETS STUDENTS ON THEIR OWN UNIQUE PATHS.
Our advisors do a lot more than just help students meet their graduation requirements. We assign academic and career advisors (also known as student success advisors) on the basis of a student’s college and program of study, and advising begins the moment a student decides to become a New Schooler and continues through graduation. Along the way, advisors help students create individualized degree pathways, discover passions that can shape their future, and prepare to bring about positive change in the world. To ensure that their advisees make good decisions, advisors help students articulate their values and goals, identify learning opportunities, take advantage of university resources, and develop a post-graduation path for success.
