On-Campus Tours, Information Sessions and Portfolio Prep Workshops

Parsons The New School for Design offers a variety of campus visit programs. Events fill up quickly so advance planning may be required. If an event is full, you will be unable to register and must select a different day. Campus visit programs are occasionally suspended on days when the University is closed and/or to support the opening and closing of academic terms, so review the list of University holidays.
