Admission Events

The Office of Admission offers online appointments for prospective applicants and family members who would like to meet individually with an admission counselor to identify best-fit programs and discuss the admission process. 

Limited in-person undergraduate admission appointments will be available on our New York campus on Fridays this fall. Though occasional requests for virtual admission appointments may be accommodated, the majority of our admission team will be busy participating in on-site and virtual recruitment events this fall and we encourage you to meet us at one of those events.

These 60-minute student-led campus tours introduce visitors to our academic facilities. 

Only those with appointments will be able to tour campus. If you are unable to schedule an in-person tour, we encourage you to take our virtual tour and connect with us through one of our many additional online events. 

Upon checking in for an in-person event:

• All visitors must provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination—including a booster, when eligible. 
• The New School has partnered with CLEAR to use Health Pass, an online tool that safely and simply provides proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Before coming to campus, download the CLEAR app and enroll for free. 
• Masking inside all university buildings is optional. 

Schedule an Undergraduate Tour

These events are open fairs for prospective undergraduate students, at which Admission representatives staff a table on behalf of The New School. They serve as an initial point of contact between students and colleges without students needing to travel to visit the college itself, allowing them to interact with admission representatives from a wide range of post-secondary institutions.

The seminar is the centerpiece of the Lang academic experience. We invite you to join a member of our faculty and other prospective students for a mock seminar to get a better sense of the Lang classroom experience. These sessions will be held each fall and spring semester, in October, November, March, and April. Check back for additional dates being added throughout the semester. 

October 13, 3:00–4:00 p.m. ET: Latin American Art

October 26, 2:00–3:00 p.m. ET: Reading for Writers

We invite prospective students to join us for a scheduled online chat with a New School tour guide. These online events feature members of our student team discussing their experience as New Schoolers.

Our Undergraduate Information Sessions are 45- to 60-minute presentations by admission staff and/or faculty, designed for students interested in applying for admission. These sessions not only provide information about Lang but also highlight the other schools within The New School, including the College of Performing Arts, Parsons School of Design, and Parsons Paris.
