Earning an advanced degree can help you achieve your professional and personal goals. The New School's Bachelor's-Master's program enables students across the university to save time and money by earning graduate credits that apply to both
bachelor's degree and a master's degree at The New School.
- Access graduate courses as an undergraduate student.
- Save time (up to 12 to 18 graduate credits, depending on the master's program).
- Save tuition costs (up to $27,360, depending on the master's program).
- No graduate application fee is required.
- No GRE test is required.
There are two kinds of Bachelor's-Master's programs at The New School; the one you choose depends on your current undergraduate program and the master's program you plan to pursue.
- Sequential Bachelor's-Master's—most dual-degree pairings
- Integrated Bachelor's-Master's—only College of Performing Arts undergraduates interested in the MA Arts Management and Entrepreneurship
Sequential Bachelor's-Master's
Most Bachelor's-Master's pairings at The New School are sequential programs. This means students earn the two degrees at different times—the bachelor's degree is conferred typically at the end of four years and the master's at the end of five years
(4+1).
