Coming to Milano has been a terrific decision for me. Each day I am challenged to stretch myself and think creatively about our world and its problems. I hope you will join me and become part of the Milano community as we work together to effect positive change.
No school better integrates the study of management and urban policy or provides an education more relevant to the way the worlds of business, government, and the nonprofit sector interact than Milano the New School for Management and Urban Policy.
Here you will explore innovative solutions for current problems in real time.
You will learn how to bring your best critical thinking to bear on today’s complex social, economic, and political issues. Beginning in your first semester, you will undertake hands-on work with people, organizations, or local communities in need.
Why Milano?
For the first time ever, half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. That trend is expected to continue worldwide, especially in developing countries where nearly 60 percent of the population is expected to be living in urban areas by 2030. Furthermore, the United States is the only developed nation that will experience dramatic population growth: The number of Americans is projected to rise by 40 percent by 2050, bringing our population to 420 million people, most of them city dwellers. This rapid growth in the urban population poses unprecedented challenges—in education, housing, health care, and other areas.
Milano is the place to prepare you to take on these issues in the public, nonprofit, and private sectors.
Our students have never faced bigger challenges—nor have they been more needed.
Our programs are designed to meet that need by balancing theory, research, and experiential learning using New York City as a laboratory. Our faculty includes nationally recognized professors who have attained a high level of scholarship, possess vast practical experience, and are passionately committed to their fields. Our courses are infused with relevant and timely ideas: social responsibility, corporate accountability, and professional ethics.
Our graduates are in demand all over the world and are known for their extraordinary leadership and management skills in all sectors of our economy.
