    Major-Minor Combinations

    The New School encourages students to create the path that is right for them through highly enriching and creative minors offered throughout the university to complement and augment their major area of study. Pairing a major in one school with a minor in another school or field of study equips our students with the understanding that knowledge is not contained by disciplinary boundaries. This freedom enables them to embark on unconventional, rewarding, and relevant paths at The New School. Here are a few examples.
