Overview
The MS in International Affairs from The New School combines two core courses and two module selections (spanning five classes) with a range of electives and opportunities for social research and hands-on experience.
The program
The MS program modules draw from programs across The New School in fields such as social research, design, and media. Students customize their course of study by choosing one of the Subject Modules through which students gain in-depth, substantive knowledge of a particular thematic area of professional interest.
