Salary and Debt by Major at The New School

We calculated a Salary Score for each of The New School's programs by comparing program-specific median alumni earnings to median alumni earnings for the same program across all schools that provide this data. This way, students can compare the relative salary strength of a specific major at The New School to the same major at other schools. A school's overall score by level is based on the school's by-program performance weighted by student enrollment in each program. Data is sourced from the December 2020 release of the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and reflects median alumni debt upon graduation and median alumni earnings in the year after graduation for students who received federal financial aid. Debt and salary numbers are shown rounded to the nearest $10.

Mostly a positive experience. I will say anyone applying for the PhD in psych that you have to go through their MA program first and once done there’s 0 guarantee of actually getting into the PhD. This year they also moved the internal PhD deadline from February to November with a week’s notice that I had to actively seek out to confirm. Since I have my MA already from another school this aspect of the experience left me very disappointed and I must now apply elsewhere and start all over to finish a PhD…

The classes offered at The New School were really progressive, thought provoking, and inspiring. When I started the program, I had no clue that my path will be not only and intellectually challenged, but also how much I grow as a person. The size of the classes were small and intimate and you got to really know other students and their ways of thinking. I was also offered a very generous scholarship and was very grateful for that.
