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. Selected graduate programs
will launch in fall 2014.
Throughout
their journey, Parsons students benefit from instruction and mentorship by some
of the most accomplished artists, designers, architects, photographers,
illustrators, scholars, and critics in the world. Under the guidance of this
renowned faculty, they learn to weave together different areas of expertise to
radically rethink their fields. Although Parsons provides the tools to master a
single discipline, the practical knowledge students acquire and the
collaborative methods they have learn can be applied in a variety of contexts.
All of these possibilities befit Parsons' tradition of challenging convention,
anticipating trends, and improving the world—a tradition embodied by Parsons
alumni, who lead their fields by creating art and design that matters.

Parsons'
curriculum offers an array of global learning opportunities, including study
abroad options, projects with external partners overseas, and classes that
position creative and entrepreneurial activity in an international framework.
Parsons is also leading new initiatives at the university to establish centers
of learning that will anchor our expanding global presence.
With
the re-establishment of Parsons Paris and the opening of new academic centers
in Shanghai and other major cities, our global initiatives are building
learning networks that will connect the world's major urban centers of art and
design. These initiatives join our existing study abroad offerings, online
courses, and educational partnerships in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The
plan allows us to share our proven educational methodology and give students
opportunities to learn and to work in real-world settings. Our goal is to
develop students' global awareness, cultural literacy, and familiarity with the
systems that shape creative, humanitarian, and entrepreneurial endeavors around
the world.
Global in theory, global in practice,
first-rate design education requires an understanding of socially focused
design education all over the world. Parsons continues to expand its network of
global hubs and is now partnering with the Indian School of Design and
Innovation (ISDI) to open a school in the dynamic
city of Mumbai.
Parsons has contributed
undergraduate and graduate curricula and faculty for ISDI's undergraduate
program, which enrolled its first students in summer 2013.
As ISDI’s course offerings
expand, Parsons students will be eligible to study in this emerging world
design center. Parsons Mumbai will simultaneously serve as the institutional
base for study abroad options, visiting faculty, and creative collaborations
with ISDI and Parsons scholars in New York and globally.
