Conference on Elder Abuse
Is This Elder Abuse? When Abuse Is Not
the Presenting Problem
Wednesday, June 22, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street
Admission: $45 (for NYCLE* credit, $95)
Mistreatment of elderly people is a problem that affects all segments of
society, regardless of socioeconomic status, living environment, race and
ethnicity, and physical or cognitive condition of the aged individual. Its
scope extends beyond the stereotype of the bruised and battered to include
elderly victims of psychological and emotional harm, caregiver neglect
(abandonment or failure to provide proper food, shelter, companionship,
medical care, or other necessities of life), sexual abuse, exploitation, and
fraudulent diversion of property. It is perpetrated by relatives, professional
caregivers, friends, and neighbors. Too many victims and witnesses do
not know how to report elder abuse or where to go for help. This annual
conference brings together gerontology experts and advocates. Panels and
lectures focus on promoting health and wellness among older people as well
as abuse prevention and intervention strategies in the context of the current
difficult economic climate, which has implications for the mistreatment and
exploitation of elderly people. For program and registration information,
contact the IRP at irp@newschool.edu or 212.229.5682 after May 1.

During Obama’s presidency, populist conservatism in the United States has
attracted national and worldwide attention. Working Americans have turned
out by the thousands to voice their opposition to government initiatives
aimed at helping them. How should we understand a movement that seems
to fight against its own interests? Our objective is to make sense of this
apparent paradox. This course examines the historical legacy of a peculiarly
American brand of popular conservatism, one that has been present since
the nation’s inception. We look at the forms this conservatism has taken
and its relationship to questions of class, race, and gender. We read works by
academics, politicians, and everyday Americans and examine expressions of
popular conservatism in media and visual culture.  (3 credits)

In this course, we examine the history and significance of biotechnology
from the Middle Ages to the present. We consider the role of traditional
belief systems, pop culture, and news media in controversies over the
application of scientific discoveries, and the way public perceptions of
science can affect research trends. Topics explored include alchemical
practices and the transition to modern chemistry, fermentation, distillation,
the production of food additives, genetic modification of plants and
livestock, stem cell research and cloning, in vitro fertilization, vivisection,
prenatal screening, synthetic biology, and the potential ecological impact of
nanotechnologies.  (3 credits)

POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AND THE LAW
NEW Introduction to Comparative Politics: Development in the
West and the Rest   NPOL2202
A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 8:00–9:50 p.m., beg. June 7. Noncredit
tuition $620.
Casiano Hacker-Cordon
This course is an introduction to the comparative analysis of politics,
focusing on issues that arise in the study of the developing world. In the
first part of the course, we compare world systems theory and international
dependency theory with theories of development and conflict that focus
almost exclusively on factors internal to states. In the second part, we
engage in further comparison across the globe, with readings on the
politics of Africa, Asia (with a concentration on South Asia), and Latin
America.  (3 credits)

A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620. ONLINE
Glynn Torres-Spelliscy
From the Nazi concentration camps to the killing fields of Pol Pot’s
Cambodia to the deserts of Darfur, human beings have displayed a
seemingly unlimited capacity for cruelty. International legal prohibitions
on war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide are designed to
deter and punish such crimes. Although treaties regulating the wartime
conduct of soldiers and states predated the formation of the International
Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, the tribunal was the first international
body ever established to try state leaders, not only for wartime conduct
but also for their domestic policies. We examine the complex legal issues
associated with the prosecution of these crimes by tracking the development
of international institutions from Nuremberg to the International Criminal
Court.  (3 credits)
NEW Behavioral Economics: Explaining the Inexplicable  NECO2005
A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 6. Noncredit
tuition $620.
Jennifer Jacquet
Consumers treat gains differently from losses, exhibit inconsistent
preferences over time, and make seemingly unjustifiable decisions about
savings and investments. In this course, we study behavior that conventional
economics would deem irrational. We explore how the behavior of
consumers, producers, and the markets in which they operate defies basic
tenets of mainstream economic theory. We examine the work of the many
social and natural scientists, as well as economists, who have demonstrated
the failure of economic theory to incorporate the findings of behavioral
research. To gain a better understanding of the way humans share and
consume resources, the class reads some of the latest studies in experimental
economics, psychology, and the new field of neuroeconomics. Required
readings include popular and research articles as well as several books,
including the bestselling Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth,
and Happiness. We also turn to evolutionary biology for insights into the
origins and intricacies of cooperation. No prior knowledge of psychology or
economics is necessary.  (3 credits)

Aaron Naparstek
New York City is radically transforming the way it plans, designs, and
manages its streets and public spaces. For most of the 20th century, the
city’s transportation and development policies were aimed at maximizing the
capacity of the street network to accommodate motor vehicles. The last four
years have seen a new emphasis on the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, and
transit riders. In this course, we take to the streets to explore the changes
underway and learn about the history that brought us here. We look at the
research and thinking behind these changes and see how new ideas about
sustainable streets are being rapidly prototyped, tested, and shared among
cities as diverse as Copenhagen, Bogotá, Paris, and Seoul. We examine the
politics of sustainable streets, from bitter neighborhood-level battles over
bike lanes and parking spots to struggles over multi-billion-dollar regional
megaprojects. We meet the planners, policymakers, and advocates who
are in the trenches every day, working to create sustainable streets in the
21st-century city.  (3 credits)

War has shaped the histories of many societies and continues to affect
the lives of people around the world today. In this course, we explore
anthropological views of war and its influence on culture and society. We
ask what constitutes war in a variety of historical and cultural contexts,
how anthropologists have explained its place and significance within them,
and how the consequences of war can be represented using ethnographic
methods. We read texts by classical social theorists such as John Locke
and Karl Marx and anthropological works that consider militarism and
war within specific cultural contexts. In these readings, we study the
representation of war within a number of different frameworks, examining
Darwinian claims about the function of violence for survival, ethnographic
analyses of structural violence such as colonialism and economic inequality,
and contemporary discussions of institutional warfare and global security
states.  (3 credits)
NEW The Ultimate Fight: Sport and Social Power   NANT3697
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620. ONLINE
Lisa Uperesa
How should we look at sport? Is it play? Leisure? Pastime? This course offers
students an introduction to critical perspectives on sport. We examine its
cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions and ask: How should we
understand people’s intense identification with particular sports teams and
the collective experience of fandom? Why are so many people invested in
sport as a cultural activity? What does it represent, for whom, and why? We
first examine early anthropological studies of sport and move on to explore
modern sport and its relationship to political movements, processes of
globalization, labor migration, and social hierarchies. Assignments and class
discussions draw on ethnographies, sports studies, films, critical theory, and
contemporary media.  (3 credits)

Cecelia Walsh-Russo
This course familiarizes students with debates surrounding contemporary
transnational social movements and sheds light on their historical context,
beginning with the 19th-century anti-slavery movement and concluding
with the current anti-globalization movement. We look at concepts and
perspectives from studies of social movements and consider both Western
and non-Western cases. We examine early theoretical works on collective
behavior, resource mobilization, and political processes and investigate
theories of “new” social movements. In the final section of the course, we
focus on contemporary forms of activism and the impact of new media
technology on social movements today.  (3 credits)

PSYCHOLOGY
Fundamentals of Psychology   NPSY2001
A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 4:00–5:50 p.m., beg. June 6. Noncredit
tuition $620.
Ezra Feinberg
As a subject of intellectual inquiry, psychology spans the histories of many
cultures, but since antiquity, psychological interpretation has revolved
around recurring themes. When philosophers, naturalists, and other
scholars began to divide into separate academic departments in the 19th
century, psychology, with much fanfare, sought recognition as a separate
discipline. Its goals were, and are, the explanation of memory, emotion,
perception, consciousness, learning, motivation, personality, development,
and social influence. These fundamentals of the field are the topics of this
course.  (3 credits)
Theories of Personality   NPSY3401

Romy Reading
This class introduces theories of personality through readings of primary
texts by major theorists. We begin by examining the groundbreaking
research of Sigmund Freud and his theory of personality development and
the unconscious. We then read modern Freudians, from John Bowlby and
Margaret Mahler to Erik Erikson and Heinz Kohut. We look at Melanie
Klein and the British Middle Group, particularly Donald Winnicott. We
consider interpersonal and relational theories that stress not only the inner
mind but the interactional self. We conclude with current research from
feminism, sociology, and genetics. Throughout, we discuss personality as an
intersection of factors including subjectivity, biological inheritance, personal
history, and culture. We question the idea of a “normal” personality and
study how each theorist defines the abnormal or pathological. We also draw
on cultural and clinical texts to illuminate these theories and the relevance
of psychoanalysis to art and other cultural practices.  (3 credits)
Object Relations: The Inner and Outer Worlds of
Relationships  NPSY2445
ONLINE
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620.
Therese Ragen
Although desired and pursued, intimate, loving relationships often present
us with our hardest work in life. In many ways, our relationships shape the
way we view the world. Our ways of relating are based on our unique inner
object relations. The term object refers to a mental representation of a person
and object relations to the set of psychoanalytic theories about internalized
relationships. Starting with the mother-child pair, we examine how our
view of early interactions with others affects the way we relate to people
later in life. We consider the contributions of Sullivan, Klein, Fairbairn,
Winnicott, and others. We study the characteristics of both flourishing
and troubled relations between friends, family members, romantic
intimates, and long-term partners. We also discuss scenarios for growth and
change.  (3 credits)

Great works of art, literature, and music, along with
profound philosophical thought, have the capacity to bridge
ages, languages, and cultures. The study of cultural works
in the context of their own time and place, as well as ours,
is the cornerstone of a liberal arts education. It provides
crucial fuel for artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers of
all kinds, and it helps develop the kinds of skills—critical
reading, attention to detail, and analytic writing—that are
useful in all walks of life.

Latin American Cities: 200 Years of Urban Change   NARH3664
ONLINE
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620.
Margarita Gutman
This highly interactive online course examines four cities in Latin
America—Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Quito, and Mexico City—through
the lenses of architecture, visual culture, art history, urban planning,
geography, literature, and film. Many countries in the region are now
celebrating 200 years of independence from Spain, and their bicentennial
commemorations offer a unique occasion to highlight cities and nations on
the move. New political leadership in Latin America includes four women
presidents (Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, and Brazil), the first indigenous
leader (Bolivia), and the first former priest (Paraguay). Through illustrated
lectures, readings, films, and games, we explore patterns of urban change
and cultural diversity in the public sphere.  (3 credits)
From Las Vegas to Abu Dhabi: Topics in Contemporary
Architecture and Urbanism  NARH3880
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620. ONLINE
Emily Bills
This course explores the major issues informing architecture and urban
planning from the 1960s to the present. We begin with emerging challenges
to the modernist approach to design, as famously articulated in Robert
Venturi’s text Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture. As the signs and
signifiers of Las Vegas replace the steamship as a design model, architecture
becomes brutal, then nomadic, and eventually deconstructed. In addition
to sessions on postmodernism and deconstruction, we explore major themes
of sustainability, sprawl, historic preservation, the architect as star, and
changed visions of the city post-9/11. These topics take us around the
globe, from the United States to Europe, Latin America, and the Middle
East. The works and words of architects like Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry,
Sir Norman Foster, Daniel Libeskind, and Zaha Hadid shape the lectures
and discussions.   (3 credits)

This course explores the cultural intersections of music, visual art, and
performance in New York City in the second half of the 20th century.
Through music, the class undertakes an interdisciplinary study of
experimental and avant-garde communities in the period 1945–1990.
These communities were at the forefront of experimental music, abstract
art, modern dance, improvisation, assemblage art, performance, and
theatricality, as well as punk and new wave. Students examine expressive
practices through critical engagement with case studies in multimedia
performance, enhanced by readings that situate them historically, socially,
and politically. Artists studied include John Cage, Merce Cunningham,
Morton Feldman, Meredith Monk, Joan La Barbara, Julius Eastman,
Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Robert Wilson, Arthur Russell, George

The Muse Singing: Myth in Poetry from Antiquity to
Today   NLIT3106
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620. ONLINE
Sharon M. Mesmer
The beautifully told, compelling myths of the classical world still enthrall
us today. What is it about these mysterious and beautiful tales that has
captured the poetic imagination for centuries? We gain a new appreciation
for four of the most familiar Greco-Roman myths—Demeter and
Persephone, Cupid and Psyche, Daedalus and Icarus, and Orpheus and
Eurydice—by examining the oldest-known literary sources (the Homeric
Hymn to Demeter, Apuleius, and Ovid) and modern interpretations by
well-known scholars like Edith Hamilton and Joseph Campbell. These
short readings are followed by close readings of modern poetic retellings
of each tale, which we compare with the original sources. We also discuss
film versions of the myths (which students view outside class), including
Cocteau’s La Belle et la bête (Beauty and the Beast), a modern interpretation
of Cupid and Psyche; and Camus’ Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus).  (3 credits)
Shakespeare as Contemporary Theater   NLIT3213

Philip Lerman
With their memorable characters and insights into human nature,
Shakespeare’s plays enjoy a prominent position in American theater. We
examine plays representing Shakespeare’s varied styles for their dramatic
content and theatricality. We read Julius Caesar, a play about political
intrigue; the youthful comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, followed by
the mature comedy The Tempest; Othello and Macbeth, tragedies about
driven men; Henry IV, Part 1 and Richard III, dramas that reveal history’s
violent face; the dark, ironic comedies Troilus and Cressida and Measure
for Measure; and the family tragedies King Lear and Hamlet. We trace the
intricate thematic patterns in these plays and appraise their contemporary
significance. We read scenes aloud in class to analyze their content and
discover their underlying meanings. The course concludes with a screening
of a filmed Shakespeare play.  (3 credits)
NEW Dangerous Liaisons: Love in French Literature   NLIT3424
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620. ONLINE
Noëlle Carruggi
The greatness of French classical literature lies in its treatment of human
passions, as Albert Camus proclaimed. In this course, we study masterpieces
illustrating various aspects of love and literary expression through the
centuries. Passionate love, whether platonic or overtly sexual, is an enduring
theme in French literature, from the 17th-century novel The Princess of
Clèves to Duras’ The Lover and Ernaux’s Simple Passion. We begin with
classic works by the 17th-century tragedians Corneille (El Cid) and
Racine (Phaedra). We then read texts from a variety of literary genres:
the psychological novel, the epistolary novel, the realistic novel, satire,
auto-fiction, and the autobiographical journal. In all passion, there is an
element of revolt against convention, and the protagonists we encounter in
our journey through the human soul and psyche take a stand against the
mores of their era.  (3 credits)

Herman Melville  NLIT3323
A 6 sessions. Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 8. Noncredit tuition $275.
Andrew Rubenfeld
Herman Melville’s first five books, all romances dealing with the sea, were
enormously popular. We begin with Typee, an exciting travel narrative set
in the Marquesa Islands, and Redburn, a coming-of-age novel based on the
author’s first voyage to Liverpool. Melville’s greatest work, Moby-Dick, is
a symbolic tale of madness and pursuit embedded in a detailed account of
whaling. The book was not well received when published, and within a few
years, the author’s fame had evaporated. Living in increasing obscurity and
poverty, Melville continued to write long fiction, stories, and poetry. We
sample this part of Melville’s career by reading some of the Piazza Tales,
such as “Bartleby, the Scrivener” and “Benito Cereno,” and his posthumously
published novella Billy Budd, a disturbing portrayal of beauty and innocence
destroyed by the evil and cowardice of the world.  (1 credit)
The Brontë Sisters  NLIT3232
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620. ONLINE
Abigail Burnham Bloom
The Brontë sisters lived lives of deprivation and tragedy, but today their
novels are regarded as masterpieces. Has the story of their lives affected the
appreciation of their works? Does the critical reception of their novels still
represent what Henry James called “the high-water mark of sentimental
judgment”? Anne Brontë’s novel Agnes Grey presents an unromantic view
of the life of a governess in the Victorian era. Emily Brontë’s Wuthering
Heights, once thought unreadable, has been judged the greatest masterpiece
of an age of many great novels. Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre has
been hugely popular and the focus of intensive critical study ever since
its publication. In this course, we study the lives of the three sisters, their
major novels, the critical history surrounding their work, and contemporary
responses.  (3 credits)
Modern Classics: Joyce, Woolf, and Faulkner  NLIT3545
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $620. ONLINE
Margaret Boe Birns
This course concentrates on challenging works by three of the greatest
authors of the 20th century, each a major force in the cultural awakening
we call the modernist movement in literature. We begin with James Joyce’s
groundbreaking experimental novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,
in which he transforms his suffocating Dublin boyhood into a symbol
for the struggle of all young modern artists everywhere. We then turn to
Virginia Woolf ’s To The Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway, each a metaphysical
and psychological journey taken within the context of daily life. Last, we
read William Faulkner’s The Sound and The Fury, a narrative rooted in the
American South but universalized in the landscapes of the human soul, and
The Reivers, a novel that weaves together wisdom and complicated rascality.
We also view major screen adaptations of “The Dead,” from Dubliners; The
Reivers; and Mrs. Dalloway.  (3 credits)

tuition $620.
Joshua A. Gaylord, Steven Milowitz
One of the greatest revelations of growing up is that you never really do. We
explore the literary motif of growing up as represented in characters ranging
in age from adolescence to senescence. Through a sample of 20th-century
literature, we learn how the experience of growing and aging has been narrated
by varied authors. Can nostalgic memoirs serve as a means of coping with
memories of loneliness, terror, and isolation? Does putting suffering down
on paper make a fetish of it? Do narrators simply gloss over painful truths to
construct a linear path to selfhood? This team-taught course is structured to
create a lively arena in which to investigate questions like these. Texts may
include Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Andrews’ Flowers in the
Attic, Roth’s Goodbye, Columbus, Updike’s Rabbit, Run, and Jackson’s We Have
Always Lived in the Castle. We also consider films and television programs,
including Gilmore Girls, Superbad, and Elegy.  (3 credits)

Luis Guzmán
Is there such a thing as an objective or universal point of view? On one
hand, the history of Western philosophy can be viewed as a continuous
search for a fixed point of view, for a perspective that reveals how things
“really are,” under the rubric of foundationalism, universalism, or
objectivism. On the other hand, many serious thinkers have attempted to
relativize any postulation of an absolute perspective. In ethics, this debate
has become impassioned in recent years, as reflected in the conflict between
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, pronounced by the United
Nations in 1948, and the objections about the imposition of a particular
value system on a pluralistic world. This course explores arguments
raised by ethical relativists throughout the history of philosophy, from
Sextus Empiricus to Nietzsche to Richard Rorty, in order to arrive at the
contemporary debate over human rights with the appropriate theoretical
tools. Students analyze the strengths and weaknesses of universalist and
relativist perspectives in an attempt to answer the question: How can a
coherent system of human rights be established in a world of diverse and
sometimes contradictory social values?  (3 credits)

Jean Oliver-Cretara
In his 1977 book, Noise: The Political Economy of Music, Jacques Attali
describes music as “a way of perceiving the world” that serves both
communicative and organizing functions within societies. In comparison
with other forms of discourse, which must often present credible evidence
to support their claims, music seems to have a fairly simple appeal. In Bob
Marley’s words, “When it hits you, you feel okay.” We examine the social
organizing functions of music through a series of queries: Is music fuel
for political action, a distraction, or both? How does it relate to local and
national identities? What is a protest song (from Lennon to Public Enemy)?
Is popular music organizing us not only socially but economically? Through
readings of theorists from Theodor Adorno to Tricia Rose, consideration
of artists like Public Enemy and Banda Macho of Mexico, and viewing of
films like the cult classic Rockers, students explore these questions and others
in order to draw their own conclusions about just how much of our lives is
dictated by the beat that goes on.  (3 credits)

With digital cameras and computer editing equipment widely accessible,
the possibility of creating engaging, professional-quality moving images is

of expression, but knowing how to use the tools isn’t enough to enable
you to create a coherent and articulate video project. This course can help
artists in any genre create works that are both technically and conceptually

it to experience the power of editing as creative expression. They are also
introduced to production techniques, including use of the digital camera,
storyboarding, and basic lighting and sound. Several short video projects are
completed during the term. There are no prerequisites, but familiarity with
the Macintosh is assumed. Students have access to New School digital video
cameras but must have a firewire drive.  (3 credits)

Certificate in Film Production
The New School awards a Certificate in Film Production for the successful
completion of a sequence of eight courses that guide the student through
the contemporary art and craft of filmmaking using traditional 16mm film
and digital technologies. Taught by our faculty of experienced teachers and
working professionals, the courses explore all creative aspects of filmmaking
and professional development in the film industry. The certificate program
is designed for the committed student at any level of experience and can be
completed in four academic terms. Students have the opportunity to submit
their finished films for the annual New School Invitational Film Show.

The Art of Film  NFLM3411
A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 6. Noncredit
tuition $620.
John Freitas
We explore a range of practical and theoretical issues related to film
aesthetics as we study the numerous ways directors can combine the elements
of film to produce expressive and singular works of art, striving to create
the perfect balance or integration of form and content. Students consider
the essential properties of the medium—mise-en-scène, cinematography,
editing, sound—as exemplified in selected motion pictures. Filmmakers
discussed include Atom Egoyan, Robert Bresson, Fernando Meirelles,
Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Alfred Hitchcock, Abbas Kiarostami,
Terrence Malick, Orson Welles, and Wong Kar-Wai. This course is ideal
both for students who wish to learn how to analyze cinematic texts and for
production-oriented students taking Filmmaking Studio or related courses.
Students are required to view some films outside class.  (3 credits)

John Freitas
Begotten from gothic romance, born of technology, and nurtured by God,
Freud, and blood, the horror film at its best captures the individual’s
desperate struggle with morality and religion for self and humanity. Two
countries whose filmmakers have most notably articulated these complex
themes of individual integrity and moral chaos through the horror
genre are England and Italy. Themes unearthed and explored include
abjection, colonialism, misogyny, scopophilia, and sexual repression. In a
comprehensive and comparative analysis, the course discovers, defines, and
discusses a series of great horror films by well-known and lesser-known
masters, including Dario Argento, Clive Barker, Mario Bava, Danny Boyle,
Federico Fellini, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Louis Malle, Michael Powell,
Nicolas Roeg, and Jacques Tourneur.  (3 credits)

Michele D. Beck
Students learn the essentials of shooting a five- to seven-minute
documentary. They learn how to develop an idea, research the topic,
interview subjects, and create a visual strategy and master basic skills of
location scouting, lighting, and shooting. They also explore the use of still
photographs, artwork, and stock footage. Students may work individually
or in groups and by the end of the term should have a working rough cut or
fine cut edited with Final Cut Pro. Students have access to New School digital
video cameras but must have a firewire drive.  (3 credits)
Filmmaking Studio 1  NFLM3660
A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–9:00 p.m., beg. June 7. Noncredit
tuition $1,380.
Joel Schlemowitz
This course is an opportunity for the serious beginner to learn the
fundamentals of filmmaking. Students engage in a series of exercises in basic
cinematography, lighting, scriptwriting, directing, and editing. Discussions
emphasize the theoretical and practical framework of film language, and
student work is critiqued by both the instructor and classmates. Students are
expected to crew on one another’s projects to develop production skills and
gain on-set experience. A substantial commitment of time outside of class is
required. Cameras and state-of-the-art digital editing equipment (Final Cut
Pro) are provided, but students will incur additional modest costs for film
stock, developing, and supplies. By the end of the course, students will have
experienced all aspects of MOS (nonsync) filmmaking, from preproduction
to production and postproduction, and will be ready for more ambitious
personal film projects at the next level of production courses. To see sample
expense budgets, visit www.newschool.edu/mediastudies/film.  (3 credits)
The Producer’s Role   NFLM3456
A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 6. Noncredit
tuition $620.
Chiz Schultz
Once a film is in preproduction, the producer is responsible for providing
the best possible support system. The producer must organize all the
elements, human and material, to implement the creative team’s artistic
vision. A producer’s duties may include legal and accounting work; revising
the script; casting actors; finding props, wardrobe, and equipment within
budget; and working with the director and editor during and after the
shoot. Low-budget and student filmmaking provides invaluable experience
as preparation for larger productions, enabling students to learn to assess
technical materials as well as the skills and talents of above- and below-
the-line personnel. This course tracks the producer’s role from the selection
of material to the delivery of the production. Students choose a project and
spend the term developing a professional-quality proposal.  (3 credits)

SCREENWRITING
Students may take screenwriting courses for undergraduate credit or on a
noncredit basis. For those interested in a structured program of study, The
New School offers a certificate (see below). The screenwriting curriculum
has been cooperatively designed by our distinguished faculty to create
a cohesive program for the serious student. Upon completing the core
sequence of screenwriting courses, students have a comprehensive grounding
in story, character, theme, action, visuals, and dialogue, as they have been
carefully guided through the entire screenplay writing process.
Early registration is strongly advised. In order to ensure the quality of
each course, enrollment is strictly limited. If a desired course is filled, call
212.229.8903 to find out about additional classes that might still be open or
to be placed on the waiting list.
Certificate in Screenwriting
The New School awards a Certificate in Screenwriting for successful
completion of six approved courses. The certificate program is open to the
committed student at any level of experience. There is no formal admission
process, but students need the written permission of the instructor or the
Department of Media Studies and Film to register for Screenwriting 2 and
3. Upon completion, participants should have a professional screenplay ready
for the marketplace. Four required courses must be taken sequentially:
• Script Analysis
• Screenwriting 1: Fundamentals
• Screenwriting 2: Writing the Screenplay
• Screenwriting 3: Finishing the First Draft
Students select two courses from the Film Studies curriculum to complete
the certificate program. The certificate program can be finished in as little
as one year, but a longer course of study is acceptable.
Certificate approval is based on attendance and participation,
comprehension of theories and techniques, and final projects. General
policies governing New School certificate programs are described in the
Educational Programs and Services section of this catalog (see Table of
Contents). For more information and program advising, call 212.229.8903.
(International students must call 212.229.5630 for important admission
information.)
Online Certificate in Screenwriting
All four required courses and selected electives are offered online, so that
students can now complete the Certificate in Screenwriting entirely online
or combine on-campus and online study. Visit www.online.newschool.edu for

Whether you are a writer, a director, or a producer, an understanding of
story structure and dramatic principles is essential. In-depth analysis of
a screenplay’s storyline, characters, dialogue, images, and theme reveals a
wide range of narrative techniques and storytelling styles, from Hollywood
to independent and everything in between. Students view successful films
and analyze their scripts, learning how essential information is conveyed,
how story elements are communicated through visual means, how dramatic
momentum is built with cause and effect, and what makes a character
credible and complex. Students end the term with the ability to analyze any
film script and apply that knowledge to their own screenwriting.  (3 credits)
Screenwriting 1: Fundamentals  NSRW3810
A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 7. Noncredit
tuition $730.
Loren-Paul Caplin
This course for the beginning screenwriter introduces the tools, vocabulary,
and techniques used to tell a screen story and put an original idea into
outline form. Assignments illustrate basic three-act structure, economical use
of dialogue, visual storytelling elements, development of complex characters,
revelation of background information, and effective use of dramatic tension.
Students become familiar with screenwriting terminology as scenes from
well-known films are analyzed on video to reveal structural elements in
the writing. By the end of the course, each student will have developed an
original idea into a detailed step outline for a feature-length screenplay and
written the opening scene. We strongly recommend that students take Script
Analysis before registering for Screenwriting 1.  (3 credits)

The New School has been a vital forum for writing since
1931, when Gorham Munson, a member of the Stieglitz
circle, on impulse initiated a workshop in creative writing.
In the early 1950s, critic Maxwell Geismar stated that
“The New School has become the richest center of new
fiction among all our colleges and universities.” Our writing
instructors are all published writers and experienced
teachers, and many of our students go on to publish or
enter graduate writing programs.

but if you need more information, call 212.229.5124.
The New School offers a wide variety of writing workshops and events. The
workshop method of teaching writing involves a professional writer working
closely with serious-minded students who are willing to write regularly and
participate actively in class discussion of their own and classmates’ work.
Instead of lecturing at length, the writer-teacher provides guidance by
focusing on student manuscripts. The writers who teach here try to establish
a supportive yet demanding atmosphere. Enrollment is limited, so early
registration is recommended for the course of your choice.
If you have not had a college course in composition, you are encouraged to
enroll in one of the Fundamentals courses before taking any other workshop.
Note: Manuscripts submitted as writing samples for courses requiring
permission to register will not be returned; students should retain their own
copies of all work submitted. Please include a telephone number and email
address with your submission.

Lynn Emanuel  NWRW0551
A 3 sessions. Mon. thru Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 6.
Kathleen Ossip
Lynn Emanuel’s Noose and Hook is a dance of personae on a hard and dirty
contemporary stage. Fueled by rage, the poems dazzle with their fierce
visions, wry humor, and multiplicity of speakers. The centerpiece of this
book is The Mongrelogues: Two Acts, a verse play in which a character, Dogg,
describes his wanderings in a kind of pidgin English. The author has said
that this collection “summons America before the bench.” Lynn Emanuel
is a professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh and the author of
four books of poetry: Hotel Fiesta; The Dig; Then, Suddenly; and Noose and
Hook. Her work has been featured in The Pushcart Prize Anthology and Best
American Poetry and is included in The Oxford Book of American Poetry. Her
many honors include the Eric Matthieu King Award from the Academy of
American Poets, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts,
and a National Poetry Series Award. Read Noose and Hook before the first
meeting of the salon.  (noncredit)
John D’Agata   NWRW0552
A 3 sessions. Mon., Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 6.
Craig Morgan Teicher
John D’Agata has established himself as one of the most innovative prose
writers in America, rethinking the meaning of nonfiction in his own books
and in the anthologies he has edited. For D’Agata, an essay is not just a work
of reportage or opinion but an opportunity to combine journalistic and
imaginative literature to create a text that responds to its subject matter in
whatever way may be necessary. About a Mountain, D’Agata’s most recent
book, is an investigation of the city of Las Vegas, nuclear waste, suicide, and
D’Agata’s own past. We discuss About a Mountain and the implications of
D’Agata’s work for the creative nonfiction genre. Read About a Mountain
before the first meeting of the salon.  (noncredit)
Thomas Sayers Ellis   NWRW0553
A 3 sessions. Mon. thru Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 13.
Kathleen Ossip
Illustrated with the poet’s own photographs, Thomas Sayers Ellis’ Skin,
Inc.: Identity Repair Poems is an exuberant re-imagining of a country whose
identity is in desperate need of repair. These poems and sequences apply
their restorative powers to politics, literature, race, and popular culture—
Barack Obama, James Brown, and Michael Jackson all make appearances.
In Skin, Inc., Ellis smashes the border between academic and performance
poetry once and for all. Thomas Sayers Ellis is the author of The Maverick
Room (2005), winner of the John C. Zacharis First Book Award. He
has also received a Mrs. Giles Whiting Writers’ Award. His poems
and photographs have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies,
including Callaloo, Best American Poetry (1997, 2001, and 2010), Tin House,
Poetry, and The Nation. He is an assistant professor of writing at Sarah
Lawrence College, a faculty member of the Lesley University low-residency
MFA Program, and a Cave Canem faculty member. Read Skin, Inc. before

Nicole Krauss   NWRW0554
A 3 sessions. Mon., Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 13.
Karen McKinnon
Great House, Nicole Krauss’ third novel, is an exhilarating elegy that weaves
four groups of characters into a larger exploration of lies and secrets, loss
and longing, and, ultimately, the cycles of history. We discuss the author’s
unconventional ways of rendering experience and emotion, by inhabiting
distinct voices and mining sensory details until she exposes a nerve. Nicole
Krauss is the author of two previous novels: Man Walks Into a Room and
the international bestseller The History of Love. She was selected by Granta
as one of the best young American novelists and by the New Yorker as one
of the 20 best writers under 40. Her fiction has been published in the New
Yorker, Harper’s, Esquire, and Best American Short Stories, and her books
have been translated into more than 35 languages. She is the recipient of the
William Saroyan International Prize for Writing, France’s Prix du Meilleur
Livre Etranger, and a Cullman Fellowship at the New York Public Library.
Great House was a 2010 National Book Award finalist. Read Great House
before the first meeting of the salon.  (noncredit)
Jonathan Dee   NWRW0555
A 3 sessions. Mon. thru Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 20.
Justin Taylor
Jonathan Dee’s fiercely smart, funny, and eminently readable book The
Privileges tells the story of Adam and Cynthia Morey, a charmed couple
who become obscenely rich in the 20 years covered by the book. The couple
acquire their wealth through fraud committed by Adam, who works in
finance. This is a story that has been told many times recently, but in Dee’s
version, morality is not a simple formula. We look at the formal aspects
of this novel—how the shifting perspectives function thematically and
structurally and how Dee’s masterly use of syntax, diction, and dialogue
builds a morally and psychologically complex world. Dee is the author of
four novels, Palladio, St. Famous, The Liberty Campaign, and The Lover of
History. His short fiction, nonfiction, and criticism have appeared in many
periodicals, including Harper’s, the New York Times Magazine, and the Paris
Review, where he served as senior editor. He teaches in the graduate writing
programs of The New School, Columbia University, and Queens University
of Charlotte, North Carolina. Read The Privileges before the first meeting of
the salon.  (noncredit)
Darin Strauss   NWRW0556
A 3 sessions. Mon., Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 20.
Madge McKeithen
Darin Strauss is a consummate storyteller whose three novels—Chang and
Eng, The Real McCoy, and More Than It Hurts You—are rich, engrossing
narratives reflecting dedicated in-depth research. In Half a Life, Strauss tells
a true story: how an outing in his father’s Oldsmobile resulted in the death
of a classmate and the beginning of a different, darker life for the author.
Emotionally demanding yet irresistibly readable, Half a Life is a true story
superbly told, giving the reader what one reviewer memorably called “the
greatest weight-to-power ratio” he had ever seen. It is brave writing free of
bravado, both personal and purposeful. Our reading of this memoir informs
our discussions of writers’ perspectives on story, both fiction and nonfiction.
Read Half a Life before the first meeting of the salon.  (noncredit)

The study of effective English prose makes the sentence its principal
focus. In this course, designed to meet the needs of beginning writers, we
examine the sentence, including grammar, the parts of speech, and other
components of syntax. Later we look ahead to considerations of effectiveness
and style. Chapters from a grammar and style textbook are assigned.
Students workshop short writing assignments weekly. They look at what
is correct versus what is incorrect and when rules should be broken, how
language changes, how context determines choices, and how these choices
develop into a style. Note: Students for whom English is a foreign language
should take Writing in English (NESL0311–NESL0511) instead of this

This workshop is devoted to the techniques (sometimes erroneously thought
to be innate talents) that make a piece of writing flow and hold the reader’s
interest. A hands-on approach helps beginning writers learn to craft their
work so that it reads as smoothly as they envision it. Topics include creating
leads that command interest; developing a plot without foundering; making
graceful and unobtrusive transitions; choosing settings, characters, and
details that develop the theme; meeting minimum-length requirements when
there’s nothing more to say; and perfecting the art of ruthless self-editing.
Students write short essays and short fiction for review and study the short
essays and short fiction of well-known writers.  (3 credits)

POETRY
From Silence to Poem  NWRW3204
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $700.
Richard Tayson ONLINE
Beginning and advanced writers work on dismantling silences in their
lives and generating poems from personal experience. We work in a safe,
functional community to open hidden places within ourselves. The heretical
Gospel According to Thomas says, “If you do not bring forth that which is
within you, that which is within you will destroy you. If you bring forth that
which is within you, that which is within you will save you.” This notion
informs one aspect of our work together, enabling the writer to follow the
poem’s impulse in order to break old habits and write something challenging
and difficult.  (3 credits)
Poetry: The Language of Music   NWRW3205
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $700.
ONLINE
Dave Johnson
This study of musical poetics focuses on the buried linguistic and musical
structures of poetry and on the way these structures create voice and
meaning in a poem. We discuss the way music serves as a muse for the poet
and creates a relationship between form and content. Some class time is
devoted to close reading of established and younger poets representing many
different poetic styles and to close listening to the voices of poets reading
from their own work. Most class time, however, is devoted to examination
of student writing, with the goal of helping students find their own music
and voice within the poem. This course is open to poets at all levels, but
beginners are especially welcome.  (3 credits)

Miranda Field
“Poetry is nothing if it is not experiment with language,” wrote Wallace
Stevens. This workshop is for those who want to build their poetic tool
boxes, break out of predictable habits of style, and open their creative minds.
Exercises and prompts generate lab material—writing made to be played
and experimented with. A wide range of ideas for stretching the possibilities
of expression are applied, including exercises devised by Bernadette Mayer
and methods associated with the French experimentalist group Oulipo. As
students explore others’ innovative poems, they begin inventing their own
devices, forms, and anti-forms. Throughout the semester, students read
and discuss published work by both lesser-known and famous poets and
workshop poems arising from their own experiments. All poems submitted
receive written feedback from the instructor. Previous poetry workshop
experience is recommended but not required.  (3 credits)

Limited to 8. Permission required. Poets are skilled, of course. The skills
that can be practiced in a group are few but crucial. Assignments in this
workshop enable students to enjoy and exploit these essential opposites:
abstract/concrete, inference/observation, structure/fluency. We work on new
poems in the light of this practice. For permission to register, send ten sample
pages by May 2 to the instructor, c/o New School Writing Program, 66 West

Jessie Sholl
This course is intended to encourage and guide students who are starting
to explore the many creative possibilities fiction affords. Through reading
assignments, writing exercises, and discussions, we consider character
development, dialogue, point of view, and significant detail. Attention is
also paid to recognizing good ideas, developing stories, finding the best
structure, and honing one’s own unique voice. The majority of class time is
spent reviewing projects by students, which are workshopped on a weekly
basis. Readings include works by Rick Moody, Jhumpa Lahiri, Tim O’Brien,
Lorrie Moore, and Michael Cunningham.  (3 credits)
Fiction Writing: Creating a Compelling Narrative   NWRW3315
ONLINE
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $700.
Carol Goodman
What keeps a reader engaged in a story? How does voice pull us into the
fictional world? How can atmosphere enhance a narrative? What makes the
difference between a story that is merely serviceable and one we can’t put
down? This is a class for fiction writers who want to learn how to create
a compelling narrative. We look at the basic elements of storytelling—
characterization, point of view, description, and dialogue—and examine the
way these elements work together to create mystery and tension. Student
work is critiqued in a supportive and constructive workshop environment.
Outside readings illustrate issues of craft that arise as students get to know
one another’s work. Guest speakers from the publishing industry discuss
what they look for in assessing works of fiction.  (3 credits)
Advanced Fiction Writing: Revise and Polish   NWRW4310

John Reed
The workshop is an opportunity for writers to speed their creative
and technical maturation. This course is for students who are beyond
introductory courses and are ready to take their writing to a higher level.
Workshop time is dedicated primarily to student work; assignments look
toward and initiate tasks commonly encountered by aspiring writers. The
intention of the course is to help individuals prepare themselves and their
work for the next phase of their vocation, be it approaching editors, agents,
and literary journals or applying to graduate schools. These subjects are
addressed realistically and reasonably, with the quality of the writing always
foremost on the agenda.  (3 credits)

personal essay, memoir, documentary, and literary journalism. Through in-class
writing and weekly assignments, students develop the skills to build a narrative
frame around real-life events and situations. Student work is read and discussed
in class. The reading list includes works by Gay Talese, George Orwell, and
Katherine Boo, as well as essays from The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology

Candy Schulman
“Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities—fact is not,” wrote Mark Twain.
His words have even more resonance now, when actual events often seem
less believable than those in novels. Contemporary nonfiction has limitless
possibilities, as demonstrated by writers like Joan Didion, John McPhee,
Anna Quindlen, Russell Baker, and E.B. White. Today’s nonfiction writer
has the challenge and responsibility of closely observing our complex world,
translating everyday experiences into creative prose full of insight and
provocative ideas. This workshop focuses on essays, memoirs, narratives,
humor, and satire. Students develop their own voices and styles, learning to
use examples and anecdotes and incorporating dialogue and other fiction
techniques. Submission of work for publication is discussed, and marketing
suggestions are made for work deemed publishable. In this workshop,
designed for serious beginners and experienced writers, students establish
writing discipline, choose their own assignments, and receive supportive
critiques from their peers.  (3 credits)

Introduction to the New Journalism   NWRW3619
A 7 sessions. Wed., 6:00–10:00 p.m., beg. June 8. Noncredit tuition $700.
Betty Ming Liu
Journalism will always be about who, what, where, when, and why, but
there’s no doubt that the Internet offers 21st-century writers exciting and
creative new ways to find readers. Online tools like Facebook, Twitter,
Google, and blogs are transforming the way journalists research, write,
pitch, and publish stories. In this hands-on workshop, students learn
basic principles of old-fashioned journalism while experimenting with
new Internet tools and the new forms they produce. Students practice
interviewing, writing pitch letters, and writing features. The class meets in
a computer lab so that students and instructor can explore the new media
together.  (3 credits)

Susan B. Shapiro
The New York Times, Daily News, Newsday, New York Post, and Wall Street
Journal all use freelance writers for profiles, features, reviews, news stories,
humor, and editorials. So do New York Magazine, the Village Voice, Time
Out New York, and the New Yorker. Taught by a writer whose work has
appeared in more than 100 publications, this course reveals the secrets of
breaking in. Topics include tailoring pieces to specific columns, writing a
perfect cover and pitch letter, contacting the right editors, submitting the
work, following up, and getting clips. Assignments are read and critiqued in
class. Speakers include top Manhattan editors.  (3 credits)

SPECIAL TOPICS
Experimental Writing  NWRW3531
A 9 weeks, June 6 thru Aug. 5. Noncredit tuition $700. ONLINE
Robert Lopez
This workshop is for writers who want to try something different and
work in multiple genres. As Samuel Beckett wrote, “To find a form that
accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now.” The mess is the
whole of our modern world: How do we harness it into form? Writers address
this question by challenging conventions, experimenting with and blurring
the lines between prose and poetry. In this course, students are encouraged to
work on fiction that looks like poetry, poems that read like plays or fiction,
and plays that incorporate all genres. Students discuss and critique one
another’s work along with works by writers like David Markson, Lydia Davis,
James Tate, Sandra Cisneros, Will Eno, and Carole Maso.  (3 credits)
NEW Writing and Film   NWRW3532
A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 8:00–9:50 p.m., beg. June 6. Noncredit
tuition $700.
B. Kite
This is a class for poets, essayists, fiction writers, and aspiring critics seeking
inspiration in film. In class exercises and weekly take-home assignments,
students experiment with their own poems, short essays, and stories.
Whatever their focus going in, students are expected to try their hand
at all of these genres, working with an emphasis on free experimentation
rather than polished results. Sessions are divided between screenings and
discussions. We view the films A Man Escaped (Robert Bresson), Vertigo
(Alfred Hitchcock), Testament of Dr. Mabuse (Fritz Lang), Peggy and Fred in
Hell (Leslie Thornton), and Glen or Glenda (Edward D. Wood Jr.). We also
read and analyze selections from writers including Manny Farber, Robert
Coover, Geoffrey O’Brien, John Ashbery, Anne Carson, Thomas Pynchon,
Sergei Eisenstein, Jorge Luis Borges, and such pre-cinematic forebears as
Charles Dickens, Walt Whitman, and Bashō.  (3 credits)

Foreign language study is for anyone who wishes to better
understand and appreciate our increasingly globalized
society. The New School has been successfully teaching
foreign languages for decades to people who travel abroad,
who conduct business in other countries or engage with
New York City’s multicultural communities, who wish
to appreciate great literature or films in the original
languages, or whose scholarly pursuits mandate facility
with other languages.
O P E N H O U S E N I G H T AT T H E N E W S C H O O L
Thursday, April 28, 6:00–8:00 p.m., 66 West 12th Street
Are you thinking about learning a new language or sharpening existing
skills in a foreign language? Whether you’re interested in foreign
language study for pleasure, career, or academic purposes, come to our
open house and talk to the faculty and staff of the department about our
courses and methods. No reservation is necessary, but if you need more
information, call 212.229.5676.
Choose the summer course that works best for you. The majority of summer
language courses are offered in a 13-session module, June 6–July 20. Each
course meets twice a week, so that a student completes a semester’s work (2
undergraduate credits) in six and a half weeks.
Intensive courses in French, Italian, and Spanish are offered in three-week
modules, June 6–June 27 and July 5–July 26. These courses meet four times
a week, Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m.–1:45 p.m. Intensive courses
carry 4 undergraduate credits. They provide the equivalent of a semester and
a half of study in one term in French and the equivalent of two semesters of
study in one term in Italian and Spanish.
Special workshops are six-session noncredit courses devoted to review and
guided conversation. They are offered in French, Italian, and Spanish.
Reading courses in French and German are designed for graduate students
preparing for their reading exams and others who wish to acquire reading
ability in these languages. These courses meet twice a week for six and a half
weeks. Graduate reading courses are not offered for credit.
On The Go workshops are immersion weekends offered in several languages.
These noncredit courses are held over one weekend and include 14 hours of
instruction.

FOREIGN L ANGUAGES
Learning a Foreign Language at The New School
New School foreign language courses are designed to help you achieve
linguistic independence in the language you have chosen to study. Most
of the modern language instructors are native speakers, and all courses are
designed to introduce students to a language in its cultural context. The
emphasis is on interaction in class between students and instructor and
between the students themselves.
Choosing the Proper Course
With some exceptions (such as the graduate reading courses and Arabic),
foreign languages are taught in a six-term course sequence, designated as
Levels 1 through 6. Each level corresponds to one semester of study. Levels
1 and 2 represent introductory stages of language learning; Levels 3 and 4,
intermediate stages; and Levels 5 and 6, advanced.
Self-Placement Test
Please contact the Foreign Languages department early in the registration
process to ensure proper placement. When choosing a course level, keep in
mind your previous experience with the language you wish to study: high
school and college courses, extended stays in a country where the language is
spoken, frequent contact at home or work with speakers of the language. To
assist you in finding the level that best suits your needs, self-placement tests
are available for most languages. If you think you might be beyond Level 1,
take the self-placement exam for the level at which you would like to start.
The exam can be taken in 15–20 minutes and can be obtained from the
Department of Foreign Languages, 64 West 11th Street, ground floor, or by
calling 212.229.5676 or emailing foreignlanguages@newschool.edu (we would
be happy to email, mail, or fax the self-placement exam to you). Return the
completed exam to the Department of Foreign Languages for scoring; the
results will be emailed, mailed, faxed, or telephoned, per your request.

English has become the language of international
communication; command of spoken and written English
is important in business, the arts, and other professions
all over the world. The demand for ESL courses and
trained ESL teachers continues to grow. The mission of
English Language Studies at The New School is to address
this demand by offering high-quality courses in English
language instruction and teacher training.
TEACHING ENGLISH TO SPEAKERS
OF OTHER LANGUAGES
Language institutes in the United States and around the world are looking
for native or near-native English speakers trained to teach the language; the
demand for them continues to grow. There are adult language programs
throughout the country in need of properly trained staff to work with
immigrants. Also, thousands of foreign students come to the United States
each year to study, and many colleges now have ESL programs that hire
instructors regularly. In addition, many people living, studying, or working
in the United States employ private tutors to help them with their English.
In short, training in English language teaching can prepare you for a wide
variety of careers at home and abroad.
Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other
Languages
The New School offers the master of arts degree in Teaching English to
Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) with concentrations in teaching
and curriculum development. For more information, visit the website at
www.newschool.edu/matesol. For a printed brochure, call the Office of
Admission at 212.229.5630 or email nsadmissions@newschool.edu.
Certificate in Teaching English
The New School offers a five-course certificate for aspiring or working ESL
teachers for whom a master’s degree is inappropriate or impractical. The
certificate curriculum stresses communicative, student-centered learning and
has a practical orientation. Participants are introduced to a variety of methods
and techniques readily applicable to classroom teaching. This program does not
certify teachers to teach ESL in New York public or proprietary schools.
Prospective students should apply online to the Department of English
Language Studies. The application includes a writing sample and a grammar
test. Once the application materials have been received and reviewed,
applicants will be contacted for an in-person interview. Note: Non-native
speakers of English must have a TOEFL score of at least 250 (CBT),
100 (IBT), or 600 (PBT). For the application and complete program
information, go to www.newschool.edu/english. For more information,

The New School’s founders sought to establish a “dynamic
center of modern culture in which adults could learn
to appreciate new art forms, or even become artists
themselves.” In the decades that followed, The New
School has supported and been enriched by many modern
pioneers of American fine arts, theater, and dance. This
commitment to teaching and nurturing the creative arts
has continued, and today The New School offers a wide
range of courses in the arts for students at all levels.

Michael Grimaldi
This lecture/demonstration course for beginners covers the fundamentals
of both film and digital photography. The goal is to give students a sense
of the power of photography and confidence in using a camera without
bogging them down in excessive technical detail. Topics include different
types of cameras, how to choose a camera, color and black & white film,
photo processing, and how to hold the camera to ensure sharp photographs.
Aperture opening (f-stop) and shutter speed are explained in detail so that
students learn how the two work together to control exposure, sharpness,
and depth. There is also discussion of lighting techniques; control of image
size and perspective by choice of lens and focal length; creative application
of depth-of-field; how and when to use automatic features of electronic
cameras; accessories such as tripods, flashes, and filters; and both the digital
and the traditional darkroom. Shooting assignments are supported by
assigned technical readings. Individual creativity is stressed, and students’
work is viewed and discussed in class. All topics are handled informally, and
open discussion and questions are encouraged. If you own a camera, bring
it to the first class session. This course is for noncredit students only; credit
students must take NPHG1000.  (noncredit)

Creative arts therapists are licensed psychotherapists specially trained to use
the arts within the therapeutic relationship to promote health and healing in
mentally, physically, and emotionally challenged patients.
This certificate program prepares students to work in human services
through a curriculum integrating music, drama, dance, and visual arts into
the practice of psychotherapy. Courses are both didactic and experiential
and are grounded in the latest developments in psychology and mind-body
healing. Fieldwork and internship opportunities are available in diverse
clinical settings.
The program is open to students who have completed at least 30 college
credits (including courses in music, drama, dance, art, psychology, and
social work). Students who have professional experience in the arts may

The certificate requires completion of nine courses, with a concentration
in music, drama, dance/movement, or visual arts, and is usually completed
within two years. All certificate students must have their courses approved
by the program coordinator before registration. For general policies relating

Practices  NFDS4200
A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 6. Noncredit
tuition $620.
Thomas Forster
Governance of the contemporary food system is complex and rapidly
evolving. As cities, regions, and nations deal with concerns about safety,
security, environmental impact, and climate change affecting food supply
and distribution, the governance of food and farming systems is being
reexamined and in some cases modified. Designed to follow other policy
and food justice classes, this course is conducted in an applied studio
format. After learning about basic food governance principles, practices,
and models, students research and analyze food governance processes at the
local, regional, and national levels, including the work of New York City
community boards on food policy, the evolution of governance frameworks
involving local and regional planning authorities, and the emerging “food
federalism.”  (3 credits)

What is hunger, and how has our perception of it evolved? What does it
mean to be food secure? Is food a human right? What constitutes a food
crisis? Is there a single food crisis—or are there many? We explore the root
causes of food crises and potential solutions while examining international
food policy and its role in development. We assess the economic, social, and
environmental sustainability of possible solutions to food insecurity and look
at the maintenance of food security. We also study the role of water and the
impact of water scarcity on food production. Research and class discussions
focus on ways to improve food security and food aid. Case studies may
include Haiti, Brazil, Kenya, Mali, and India.  (3 credits)

Applying for Membership Conference on Elder Abuse

Open house events and interviews are scheduled throughout the year.
Applications are received and reviewed throughout the year for a limited
number of September and February admissions. For more information
about the program or membership, contact New School Institute for Retired
Professionals, 66 West 12th St., New York, NY 10011; tel: 212.229.5682;

Academic Program
IRP study groups are noncredit, and there are neither tests nor grades.
However, all members of the community take their responsibilities seriously,
and student participation in the study groups is an essential element in the
continuing success of the institute. In the IRP model, information is created
by the students themselves in study groups rather than transferred from
teacher to student.
Students also have opportunities to explore the broad range of New School
courses and to participate in other aspects of university life as part of its
diverse student body. The IRP itself sponsors regular public events at The
New School, including the annual conference on elder abuse.

The New School was founded in 1919 as a center for “discussion, Robert A. Levinson
instruction, and counseling for mature men and women.” It became
America’s first university for adults. Over the years, it has grown into an
urban university enrolling more than 10,000 students in undergraduate and
graduate degree programs.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

has never neglected its original mission. It continues to serve the intellectual, The New School is committed to creating and maintaining an environment

a University Commission on Continuing Education in the spring of 1984: status, veteran status, marital or partnership status, or other protected status.

“The New School does not set any limits to its programs in regard to
subject matter. Whatever seriously interests persons of mature intelligence
properly falls within the province of the school. History and philosophy, the
social and behavioral sciences, literature and art, the natural and biological
sciences, education, and ethics naturally take up a significant part of the
New School curriculum, since these are the fields in which the forces of
culture and change are most significantly active, and in which human
beings, their institutions, and their products are directly studied. The
centrality of the liberal arts is maintained and strengthened in every possible
way, but not to the exclusion of other educational programs that serve a
legitimate need for mature adults in a mature community.”
Some of the finest minds of the 20th century developed unique courses at
The New School. W.E.B. DuBois taught the first course on race and African-
American culture offered at a university; Karen Horney and Sandor Ferenczi
introduced the insights and conflicts of psychoanalysis; Charles Abrams was
the first to explore the complex issues of urban housing; the first university
course on the history of film was taught at this institution; and in the early
sixties, Gerda Lerner offered the first university course in women’s studies.
Over the years, lectures, seminars, and courses have examined most of the
important national and international issues of our time. To this day, many
talented teachers and professionals choose The New School as a place to
introduce new courses and explore new ideas. The New School maintains its
tradition of educational innovation and keeps its place on the cutting edge of
intellectual and creative life in New York City.
Accreditation
The New School and its degree programs are fully accredited by the
Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. Its credits and degrees are recognized and
accepted by other accredited colleges, universities, and professional schools
throughout the United States. The New School, a privately supported
institution, is chartered as a university by the Regents of the State of New York.

Study Options
Noncredit
The majority of courses in this bulletin can be taken on a noncredit basis.
Noncredit students pay tuition and fees as listed in the course descriptions.
Noncredit students are entitled to receive the instructor’s evaluation of any
assigned coursework they complete, but no letter grades are reported. Except for
students in certificate programs (see opposite), the university does not maintain
a permanent or official record of noncredit enrollment. We can provide a
noncredit record of attendance, which may be used for tuition reimbursement
from your employer or for your own records. This record of attendance must be
requested during the term in which the course is taken. See Records, Grades,
and Transcripts in this bulletin. There is a fee for this service.

345250_41-51_v1.indd 42 3/18/11 6:55 PM


General Credit (Nonmatriculated)
A student interested in earning undergraduate college credits may register
on a general credit basis for most courses in this bulletin, accumulating
a maximum of 24 credits without matriculating. The number of credits
awarded for any course is shown in parentheses at the end of the course
description. The student receives a letter grade in each course and is entitled
to transcripts of record.
A general credit student is outside any degree program at The New School
and is registered on a nonmatriculated basis. General credit students have
limited access to university facilities: They have access to The New
School’s Fogelman and Gimbel Libraries but not to the Bobst or Cooper
Union Libraries; they do not have access to academic computing facilities
unless they are enrolled in a course that includes such access. Answers to
most questions about access to facilities can be found on the website at
www.newschool.edu/resources.
Credits are usually transferable to the New School Bachelor’s and other
undergraduate degree programs, but it is seldom possible to determine in
advance whether credits will be accepted by a particular institution; that
will be decided by the school and for a particular degree program. When
possible, students taking courses for transfer to another school should
confirm that the credits will be accepted before they register here.
You should consider registering for general credit if you think you will need
an official record of your course work for any reason: you are testing your
ability to handle college-level study; to qualify for a salary increment from
the Board of Education (NYC or other employer); to make up educational
deficiencies (prerequisites for an MA, for example); to fulfill a language
requirement for graduate school; or for career advancement.
Specific requirements for credit vary from course to course, and each student
is responsible for learning from the instructor what they are: the books to be
read, the paper(s) to be written, and other criteria to be used for evaluation.
General credit registration for any course should be completed before the
first class session. General credit registration for 9 or more credits requires prior
approval and must be completed in person. Schedule an advising appointment
with Academic Services: 212.229.5615; academicservices@newschool.edu.
General credit tuition for courses in this catalog is $1,055 per credit for
undergraduate students, and a $60 University Services Fee is charged each
term at registration.
Certificates
The New School for General Studies awards certificates of completion
in several areas of study. A certificate attests to successful completion of
a structured program of courses designed to establish proficiency in a
specific field. For more information, contact the Office of the Dean: call
212.229.5615.
The following certificates are currently offered:
Creative Arts Therapy (HEGIS code 5299.00)
English as a Second Language (noncredit only)
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
(HEGIS code 5608.00)
Film Production (HEGIS code 5610.00)
Screenwriting (HEGIS code 5610.00)
Each certificate has specific requirements, and certificates are offered only
as specified. Consult the particular sections of this bulletin or visit the
website for information about these requirements and necessary educational
advising. All certificate students are responsible for knowing and completing
attendance and academic performance requirements for their courses.
Tuition for Certificate Students: Tuition for noncredit certificate students
is the tuition listed with the course descriptions in this catalog. If the
student is taking the course for credit, tuition depends on the student’s
status and the number of credits assigned to the course.
345250_41-51_v1.indd 43
ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL
Registration: All certificate students must have their programs approved
by the appropriate course advisor before they register, must register in
person, and must specifically request certificate status for each approved
course at registration.
Certificate students pay the $60 University Services Fee each term at registration.
Grades and Records: Certificate students receive a grade of Approved (AP)
or Not Approved (NA) at the conclusion of a course. (Credit students should
consult their program advisor to find out the minimum letter grade
required for Certificate Approval.) Permanent records are maintained for
all certificate students, and transcripts are available.
Request for Certificate: A student who has completed all the requirements of
a certificate program should file the Petition for Certificate form available at
the Registrar’s Office. Certificates are conferred in January, May, and August.

Reference services and instruction in library resources and technologies are
available at all libraries. For further information about library services and
procedures, consult with the reference librarians on duty in the libraries or visit
www.newschool.edu/library.
In order to visit the libraries, a student must present a valid New School ID
card. Students taking courses for credit or certificate and members of the
IRP are entitled to a photo ID. Noncredit students receive a New School
ID without photo valid for the duration of their course(s) and must show
a personal photo ID with their New School ID to use the library. Many
library services are available online at library.newschool.edu.
Computing Facilities
All students matriculated in certificate programs have access to the Academic
Computing Center, with Windows workstations and printers, and the

International Student Services
The New School is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant
alien students.
The mission of International Student Services is to help international
students reach their full potential and have positive experiences at The New
School and, in cooperation with other departments, faculty, staff, and the
students themselves, to promote diversity and foster respect for cultures from
all over the world. International Student Services helps international students
help themselves through printed handouts, orientations, and workshops, and
individual advice and support. Before registering, all international students
are required to attend an orientation and check in with International
Student Services to confirm that they have been properly admitted into the
United States and to review their rights, responsibilities, and regulations.
Visit the website at www.newschool.edu/studentservices.
Services for Students with Disabilities
The Office of Student Disability Services shares the university’s philosophy
of encouraging all students to reach their highest levels of achievement
and recognizing and embracing individual differences. Student Disability
Services assists students with disabilities in obtaining equal access to
academic and programmatic services as required by the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Federal
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For more information about Student Disability
Services, please visit www.newschool.edu/studentservices.
Students who have disabilities are encouraged to self-identify. While there
is no deadline by which to identify oneself as having a disability, early
disclosure helps ensure that reasonable accommodations can be made prior
to the start of the student’s courses. Once a student has self-identified, a
meeting will be arranged to review appropriate medical documentation from
a qualified clinician and discuss the student’s needs and concerns. Students
who need special accommodations, please contact Student Disability
Services: 212.229.5626; studentdisability@newschool.edu.
Students with disabilities who feel they have been denied reasonable
accommodation should follow the procedure provided for by the New
School Policy for Requesting Reasonable Accommodations available on the
website at www.newschool.edu/studentservices/rights/other-policies or at the Office
of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
THE NEW SCHOOL BACHELOR’S PROGRAM
www.newschool.edu/bachelorsprogram
Bea Banu, Director of the Bachelor’s Program
An Individualized Degree Program for Adults and Transfer Students
The New School Bachelor’s Program is designed specifically for adult
students who are committed to completing their undergraduate education
with a solid foundation in the liberal arts. Within a set of broad guidelines
and working closely with a faculty advisor, each student chooses courses
that make sense for his or her personal goals. Students can attend part- or
full-time, on campus, online, or by combining on-site and online courses.
44
345250_41-51_v1.indd 44
Students develop their programs from the hundreds of courses described in
this bulletin and other courses open to degree students only. Visit the
website to see a current list of courses. In addition, they may select courses
offered by Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, Parsons
The New School for Design, and Mannes College The New School for
Music Extension. Advanced undergraduates and those approved for a
bachelor’s/master’s option can take graduate courses offered in Media
Studies or International Affairs or in graduate programs of other divisions
of the university.
Every student in the New School Bachelor’s Program is responsible for
organizing the course offerings of The New School into a coherent academic
program. To do so requires thoughtful planning and consideration of a
variety of options. Each student forms a strong relationship with a faculty
advisor with whom s/he talks through options, gains access to the full range
of curricular resources available in the university, and shapes a group of
courses into a coherent program suited to individual needs and interests.
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science
The New School bachelor’s degree in liberal arts requires satisfactory
completion of 120 credits. The Bachelor of Arts degree requires a minimum
of 90 credits in the liberal arts and sciences. For the Bachelor of Science
degree, a student must complete a minimum of 60 credits in the liberal arts
and sciences. The liberal arts and sciences, as defined by the New School
Bachelor’s Program, correspond generally to the following chapters of the
New School Bulletin:
Social Sciences Writing
Humanities Foreign Languages
Media Studies and Film English Language Studies
Screenwriting Food Studies
Bachelor of Arts students may elect to include up to 30 credits, and Bachelor
of Science students up to 60 credits, in non-liberal arts areas of study,
again corresponding roughly to sections of the New School Bulletin, such as
Management and Business, Visual and Performing Arts, Media and Film
Production, and Film and Media Business. New School Bachelor’s Program
students may also take university undergraduate courses in Environmental
Studies and Global Studies.
(Note: The New School also offers the BFA degree in Musical Theater
to graduates of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy integrated
program. Contact the Office of Admission, 212.229.5630, for information
about the AMDA program.)

Innovative Undergraduate Programs
The New School is developing a number of innovative university-wide
interdisciplinary undergraduate degrees. Programs in environmental studies,
global studies, and urban studies/urban design are accepting students now.
Visit the website at www.newschool.edu/interdisciplinary-ugrad.
The New School for Social Research
In 1933, The New School gave a home to the University in Exile, a refuge
for German scholars fleeing persecution by the Nazis. In 1934, The
New School became a degree-granting institution by incorporating this
community as a graduate faculty of political and social science. Ever since,
it has been a seat of world-class scholarship in an academic setting where
disciplinary boundaries are easily extended. This division justly retains the
proud name of The New School for Social Research. It offers master’s and
doctoral degrees in anthropology, economics, philosophy, political science,
psychology (research and clinical), and sociology, and interdisciplinary
master’s degrees in historical studies and liberal studies.
Parsons The New School for Design
Founded in 1896 by the New York artist William Merritt Chase and his
circle, the school was named Parsons School of Design in 1936 for its
president, Frank Alva Parsons, who was dedicated to integrating visual
art and industrial design. Today, Parsons is one of the preeminent design
schools in the world, its graduates contributing to the quality of life
through beautiful products, built environments, and visual communications.
Parsons awards the bachelor of fine arts degree in architectural design,
communication design, design and management, design and technology,
fashion design, fine arts, illustration, interior design, photography, product
design, and integrated design, the bachelor of arts in environmental
studies, bachelor of science in environmental studies and urban studies,
and the bachelor of business administration in design and management.
Qualified students may enter a five-year dual-degree program with Eugene
Lang College. Master’s degrees are awarded in architecture, design and
technology, fine arts, history of decorative arts and design, interior design,
lighting design, fashion design and society, fashion studies, photography,
and transdisciplinary design. There are AAS degrees in fashion marketing
(online and on campus), fashion studies, and graphic design, and continuing
education certificate programs.

ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL
Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts
This is a four-year college for traditional-age undergraduates. The school
began in 1973 as an experimental program and became a full division of
the university in 1985 thanks to the generous support of Eugene M. Lang,
the well-known educational philanthropist. Emphasis is on small, seminar-
style classes; the student-faculty ratio is 15:1. Eugene Lang College awards
the bachelor of arts degree in liberal arts (with four interdisciplinary areas
of study), arts (dance, fine arts, theater), culture and media, economics,
environmental studies, global studies, history, interdisciplinary science,
literary studies, philosophy, politics, psychology, and urban studies.
Qualified students can enter a five-year dual BA/BFA program in association
with Parsons or The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and
there are accelerated bachelor’s/master’s degree options in association with
several graduate programs of The New School.
Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy
During the 2010–2011 academic year, The New School for General Studies
and Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy are
advancing a major initiative that will bring them together as one university
division. Founded in 1975 as an alternative to traditional graduate business
schools, Milano was named in 1995 for late university trustee Robert J.
Milano, who generously supported its mission. The school is highly
innovative in combining the disciplines of business management and public
administration. Its curriculum aspires to teach analytical, managerial, and
leadership skills with the mission of facilitating positive changes in
communities, governments, and corporations, locally, nationally, and
globally. Milano offers master’s degrees in international affairs, urban policy
analysis and management, environmental policy and sustainability, nonprofit
management, and organizational change management; a PhD in public and
urban policy; and postgraduate certificates.
Mannes College The New School for Music
Founded in 1916 by David Mannes, this distinguished conservatory became
a division of The New School in 1989. Mannes offers aspiring musicians
a comprehensive curriculum in a supportive setting, training students in
instrumental and vocal performance, composition, conducting, and
music theory. The college offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees
and credentials: bachelor of music, bachelor of science, artist’s diploma,
master of music, and professional studies diploma. Mannes remains true
to its origins as a community music school by offering noncredit and
diploma courses to adults in its Extension program and to children in its
Preparatory Division.
The New School for Drama
The New School’s history in the dramatic arts began in the 1940s, when
Erwin Piscator founded the Dramatic Workshop. Today, The New School
for Drama is forging the next generation of theater artists through its three-
year MFA program in acting, directing, or playwriting. A faculty of working
professionals brings to the fore each student’s unique and original voice and
helps students establish a rooted sense of who they are as individuals and as
artists. Students gain invaluable, hands-on experience through workshops,
full-length productions, and the annual Random Acts! one-act play festival.
The full-time program leads to a master of fine arts degree in acting,
directing, or playwriting.
The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music
This unique undergraduate curriculum offers young musicians mentor-based
study with a faculty of professional artists with close links to the jazz world
of New York City. Traditionally, jazz was not learned in schools but handed
down from one musician to another. The New School keeps that heritage
alive. This is a program for students who expect to make a living from
their music. The bachelor of fine arts degree is offered in jazz performance.
Qualified students may pursue a five-year dual BA/BFA degree in
collaboration with Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts.

Payment to the university is the responsibility of the student. Liability for
tuition and fees is not contingent on completing courses, receiving grades,
receiving passing grades, or realization of financial aid awards or loans.
Failure to complete payment does not void your registration nor charges due.
Contact Student Financial Services at 212.229.8930, option 1 with inquiries
about payment of tuition and fees (or email sfs@newschool.edu using your
New School email account if you have one). Access your personal account

Deferral of Payment for Employer Reimbursement

form(s) as described below. This may be done by mail or fax or in person,
but not by email.
The authorization letter must show a current date and must include the
student’s full name (and, if available, the student’s New School ID number),
the amount to be reimbursed, the academic term for which the charges will
be covered, the signer’s address and telephone number, and the specific terms
for reimbursement (either contingent on receipt of grades or else billable
upon registration; see below). Any portion of charges that the employer has
not agreed to pay may not be deferred. Certificate and nonmatriculated
students must submit these forms with their registration forms.
Authorization letters and forms should be faxed to 212.229.8582; mailed
to The New School, attention Third Party Billing, 79 Fifth Avenue, 5th
floor, New York, NY 10003; or brought in person to the cashiering office
at 72 Fifth Avenue. Payment may be made online at my.newschool.edu by
ACH or credit card, or by faxing a credit card authorization along with the
deferral form to 212.229.8582. Payment of all charges is the responsibility
of the student. The student is liable for any and all deferred charges that
the employer does not pay for any reason. The student’s liability is not
contingent on receiving grades, receiving passing grades, or completing
courses.
Terms of Reimbursement
If the reimbursement will be made upon receipt of grades: There is a
participation fee of $150, and the student must complete both the Employer
Reimbursement Deferment Form and the Deferral Credit Card Payment
Authorization. (These forms can be downloaded from the website: go to

can bill the employer directly: There is no participation fee. The student
submits only the Employer Reimbursement Deferment Form (found on
the website; see above) with the employer authorization letter. The New
School will send an invoice for payment to the employer according to the
authorization. Payment for any balance due not covered by the authorization
letter must be made prior to or submitted with the deferment form.

ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL
Returned Check Policy
If, for any reason, a check does not clear for payment, a penalty of $30 is
charged to the student’s account. The university cannot presume that a
student has withdrawn from classes because a check has not cleared or has
been stopped; payment and penalty remain due. Payment for the amount of
the returned check and the $30 penalty must be made with cash, certified
bank check, or money order; another personal check will not be accepted.
An additional 10 percent penalty is charged if payment for a returned check
is not received within four weeks. After a second returned check, all future
charges must be paid with cash, certified bank check, or money order,
and no further personal checks or ACH online payments will be accepted.

additional 10 percent penalty will be charged on the remaining balance.

adding or dropping courses and refund of tuition and fees. The policies
and deadlines published in this bulletin are applicable to all certificate

of a work. This license shall be presumed to arise automatically and no
additional formality shall be required. If the university wishes to acquire
rights to use a work or a reproduction or image of a work for advertising,
promotional or fund-raising purposes, the university will negotiate directly
with the creator in order to obtain permission.

RECORDS AND GRADES

Academic Transcripts
An official transcript carries the Registrar’s signature and The New School
seal. It documents a student’s permanent record at the university. Any student
who took a course for credit or certificate may have a transcript mailed to any
address, including other colleges and institutions, by submitting an official
request to the Registrar’s Office. This can be done online at my.newschool.edu
or by completing the transcript request form available on the website at
www.newschool.edu/studentservices/registrar. Standard transcript services are free
of charge. Transcripts are not issued for students who have outstanding debts
to The New School.
Noncredit Record of Attendance
Noncredit students can request a noncredit record of attendance during
the academic term in which they are registered. This record identifies
the course and verifies the student’s completion of the course. It is not
an academic evaluation and does not provide a course grade. A noncredit
record of attendance must be requested from the Registrar’s Office in
writing no later than four (4) weeks before the final session of the course.
The written request may be faxed to 212.229.5648 (credit card payment
only), mailed, or presented in person at the Registrar’s Office. A separate
record is issued for each noncredit course; the nonrefundable fee is $20
per course, which must be paid by the student’s own personal check
or MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express card; cash is not
accepted. The noncredit record of attendance is not available for any event
listed in the New School Bulletin without a course number or for any course
meeting fewer than four times.
The New School does not maintain a permanent or
official record of noncredit enrollment.

B+ 3.3 C– 1.7
B 3.0 D 1.0
B– 2.7 F 0
I Temporary Incomplete: Indicates failure to complete
assigned work. This mark is not given automatically but only
on the request of the student and at the discretion of the
instructor. A Request for Grade of Incomplete Form must be
completed and signed by student and instructor. The time
allowed for completion of the work and removal of the “I”
mark will be set by the instructor but may be no later than the
seventh week of the following fall semester for spring or summer
term incompletes or the seventh week of the following spring
semester for fall term incompletes. Grades of “I” not revised in
the prescribed time will be recorded as a final grade of “WF”
by the Registrar’s Office.
W Official Withdrawal Without Academic Penalty: Written
request must be presented in person at the Registrar’s Office by
the published deadline (see Add/Drop Schedules on page 79).
WF Unofficial Withdrawal and Failure (GPA value 0): Issued by
an instructor to a credit student who has not attended or not
completed all required work in a course but did not officially
withdraw before the grade of “W” deadline. It differs from
“F,” which would indicate that the student technically
completed requirements but that the level of work did not
qualify for a passing grade.

AP Approved (noncredit certificate student)

Grade Reporting
NA Not Approved (noncredit certificate student)

Grades are recorded for all students registered in a course for credit or
GM Grade Not Reported for Student
noncredit certificate.
Students must be properly registered in order to attend any course or session
of a course. Attendance in class and/or completion of course requirements
is not the equivalent of registration and will not make a student eligible to
receive academic credit or certificate approval for any course.
Grades are normally posted within two weeks after a course ends. Students
can view their grades on the Internet at my.newschool.edu. A student ID
number (printed on your Statement/Schedule and photo ID card) is required
for access. A printed copy of the grade report is available from the Registrar’s
Office upon request by the student.

 ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL

Grade Review Policy
A student may petition for review of any grade within 60 days after the
grade was issued. Before deciding to appeal a grade, the student should first
request from the course instructor an informal explanation of the reasons
for assigning the grade. If the student is not satisfied with the explanation or
none is offered, the student may pursue the matter as follows:
The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that
the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of
the student’s privacy rights under FERPA:
A student who wishes to ask the university to amend a record should write to the
university official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the
student wants changed, and specify why, in the student’s opinion, it should be changed.

1. The student submits a formal letter briefly stating objections to the If the university decides not to amend the record as requested, the university will notify
assigned grade directly to the faculty member with a copy to the the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the
department chair or director (or if the faculty member is the department request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will
chair, with a copy to the dean). be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

2. The instructor is required to respond in writing to the student’s letter
within one month of receipt, also with a copy to the department chair or
director or the dean, as appropriate.
3. If the student is unsatisfied by the faculty member’s written explanation,
further appeal can be made by a written request to the dean’s office for
a review of the previous communications. An appropriate administrator
designated by the dean will then convene an appeals committee to review
the student’s letter and the instructor’s response, clarify any outstanding
questions or issues, and make a recommendation to the dean. The dean’s
decision is final.
Change of Grade
Final grades are subject to revision by the instructor with the approval
of the dean’s office for one semester following the term in which the
course was offered. After one semester has elapsed, all grades recorded in
the Registrar’s Office become a permanent part of the academic record,
and no changes are allowed.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The right to provide written consent before the university discloses personally
identifiable information from the student’s education records, except to the
extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent:
The university discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent
under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate
educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the university in an
administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including
law enforcement unit personnel and health services staff); a person or company
with whom the university has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of
university employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a
person serving on the New School Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official
committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school
official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational
interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her
professional responsibilities for the university.
The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education
concerning alleged failures by the university to comply with the requirements
of FERPA.
The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:
Family Policy Compliance Office
U.S. Department of Education
400 Maryland Ave. SW
Washington, DC 20202–4605

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, with which The
New School complies, was enacted to protect the privacy of education
records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their
education records, and to provide guidelines for correction of inaccurate or
misleading statements.
The New School has established the following student information as public
or directory information, which may be disclosed by the institution at its
discretion: student name; major field of study; dates of attendance; full- or
part-time enrollment status; year level; degrees and awards received, including
dean’s list; the most recent previous educational institution attended,
addresses, phone numbers, photographs, email addresses; and date and place
of birth.
Students may request that The New School withhold release of their directory
information by notifying the Registrar’s Office in writing. This notification
must be renewed annually at the start of each fall term.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students
certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:
The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45
days of the day the university receives a request for access:
A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or
other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student
wishes to inspect. The university official will make arrangements for access and notify
the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records
are not maintained by the university official to whom the request was submitted, that
official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be
addressed.

Studio art courses

The studio art curriculum teams students with artist-
teachers who live and work in New York City and
beyond. From the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the Centre
Pompidou, the National Park Service, and galleries
and museums worldwide, our faculty are active in their
chosen media and passionate about sharing their
expertise in the classroom. The studio teaching method
emphasizes individual instruction, helping students
develop a unique drawing or painting practice. See page 32.

Summer writers colony

Experience the writer’s life in New York City. This three-
week intensive program consists of workshops (poetry,
fiction, or nonfiction), literary salons featuring notable
writers, and creative assignments in a supportive
yet demanding atmosphere. Students can enroll in the
colony on a credit or non-credit basis. See page 18.

Certificate in teaching
English (CTE)
Designed for aspiring or working ESL teachers for whom
a master’s degree is inappropriate or impractical,
this five-course certificate emphasizes a communicative
approach to English language instruction. This emphasis
can help certificate earners find jobs with adult language
programs in need of trained staff to work with immigrants,
colleges in need of ESL instructors, and as private
English language tutors. Complete the certificate in just
two semesters. See page 27.
