Plan and Apply

Studying abroad requires a lot of planning, and The New School is here to help you meet your goals, needs, and expectations. To help you get started, be sure to meet with a Study Abroad Advisor as early as possible. Students are encouraged to begin planning as early as their first semester at The New School and begin the application process at least a full semester prior to travel.

In addition to starting the application process, students should also begin reviewing travel requirements. The first step for any international trip is to get a passport. For more details on how to obtain or renew a passport, visit the Travel Preparation page.

International Excursions

Participation in international excursions through The New School does not require applying for study abroad, however, all students who are approved to participate in international excursions through The New School must register their travel with the Study Abroad office and fulfill all excursion pre-departure requirements. For more information, see the International Excursions page.

Application Deadlines

Students must submit a New School Study Abroad Application as well as an external application for admission to the specific study abroad program they are interested in, and the application deadlines for each may differ. Contact your study abroad advisor or email studyabroad@newschool.edu with any questions regarding application deadlines and planning.
