The information below describes our offering for the fall 2020 Global Offsite Semester. The New School is exploring the option of extending this offering for spring 2021. This site will be continually updated to provide the latest information on the Global
Offsite option.
The New School is pleased to offer eligible students a Global Offsite Semester option for fall 2020. This opportunity is designed for new students who live outside of the United States and cannot travel to our New York City campus this fall due to the
impact of COVID-19. Through the Global Offsite program, students can enroll as New School students and take online courses with us while gaining access to space resources and/or select courses at the partner institution, provided that the partner
school remains open, that students can safely travel there from surrounding areas, and that there is capacity in the program negotiated with the partner by The New School.
Although we cannot accommodate all students in every country in the Global Offsite Semester, our goal is to build options for as many of our students as possible in this challenging time.
