START HERE.
Start on a journey that starts with you.... In the 21st century, what increasingly matters is not
a rigid focus on one subject, but a broad and creative understanding of many. At Eugene Lang
College The New School for Liberal Arts, our educational experience offers you just that, along
with the intellectual and competitive skills to give you a head start in any direction.
At the heart of Lang is a deep commitment to the liberal arts that reaches across disciplines
rather than dividing them. Through this four-year interdisciplinary exploration of ideas in
the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and arts, you will gain a practical edge.
The Lang experience will both test and support you every day as you hone your thinking, your
values, and your goals.
Imagine. Explore. Inspire. It all starts at Lang, an innovative progressive liberal arts college
that’s part of an urban university in a legendary neighborhood—surrounded by the greatest
city on earth.

“IT’S THE APPEAL OF THE NEW.”
Why would you choose Lang? Because you want a real education, one that’s innovative and
individualized—something more than you might get at a large university with a standardized
curriculum of ho-hum courses and overcrowded lecture halls.
When you start at Eugene Lang College, no one hands you a preplanned route to follow. Getting a
real education means committing to a personal path—one that involves both self-motivation and self-
discovery. From day one at Lang, you’ll find that we take this process as seriously—and as
personally—as you do.
Examples of the more than 300 courses Lang offers:
African-American Drama: Homage to a Dream Deferred
Cooking, Culture, and Cannibalism
18th-Century British Fiction
Epidemics and International Responses
Queer Society
Garbage: The Political Economy and Ecology of New York City
Mass Culture/Mass Society

It might seem a little intimidating at first, sitting around a table with your instructor and a small group of students with

also very supportive. Honest dialogue, free-ranging discussion, and passionate debate are the tools we use to learn about
the world and ourselves—and it works. That’s probably why the Princeton Review recently rated Lang the best college in the
country for encouraging debate and discussion.
The seminar is part of a much bigger picture at Lang—our ongoing commitment to a liberal arts education. An education in

“Here, you can seek out opportunities for yourself.”
Nurturing fresh thinking and big ideas to produce positive changes in our world—that’s
our approach at Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts. But it didn’t start
with us. Our famous parent university, The New School, was founded with that vision back
in 1919 by a small group of progressive intellectuals, including philosopher John Dewey,
historian Charles Beard, and political economist Thorstein Veblen.
After almost a century, The New School has remained true to its innovative roots while
branching out to offer students a world of educational programs and resources, all within
a few city blocks.

Whether you think of it as the Village, the West Village, or just “downtown,”
New York’s Greenwich Village is where you will study, play, and live as a Lang
student. Here, in this vibrant but comfortable residential neighborhood of
brownstone buildings, cafés, nightclubs, open-air markets, clubs, parks, and
interesting people of every kind, you will discover something new.
Here you will reinvent who you are and what you will do.
THE PLACE TO START SOMETHING Greenwich Village is the perfect place to walk around, stretch your legs, and get used to the fact that you are in one of the largest cities on the planet. While the
Village pulses with energy day and night in its music clubs, bookstores, performance spaces, theaters, and hundreds of restaurants and cafés, the neighborhood
also has its relaxed side, including narrow tree-shaded streets, a riverfront park, and small shops, feeling much of the time not like a major metropolis but, well,
a village.
As you stroll under the ornate Victorian clock tower of the Jefferson Market Library on Sixth Avenue on a sunny fall afternoon, New York City can seem just far
enough away.

FINDING YOUR FUTURE NOW
When you live in New York, 321 square miles of possibilities wait right outside your door. At Lang, we can help you take advantage of every square inch of it.
As one of the biggest components of your Lang education, the city itself will be your open-air laboratory, your classroom, your career center, and your runway for takeoff.
With its incredible wealth of institutions and talent, New York has the world-class resources to match your goals.
To help connect you with these cultural riches in a meaningful way, Lang maintains partnerships with some of New York’s leading institutions, resulting in special
courses tied to exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, the New-York Historical Society, the Rubin Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and the Eldridge Street
Synagogue. Lang also subsidizes the cost of student tickets to theater, music, and dance performances throughout the city.
When you’re ready to put your ideas to work, the Lang Internship Program gives you firsthand professional experience and academic credit in fields that range from
publishing, healthcare, and the arts to television, online media, and environmental activism. The program is your springboard to some of the most exciting companies
and institutions in New York, including MTV, HBO, the ACLU, the Village Voice, Sony Entertainment, Beth Israel Hospital, the Public Theater, and Democracy Now!
Central to being a student within an urban community, community activism is the ethical core of a liberal arts education at Eugene Lang College. Our Institute for Urban
Education provides that opportunity by linking your learning experience to your desire for social change. Through this program, Lang students work with local public
schools to help disadvantaged high school students develop college preparedness skills. Other current efforts include the launch of a literacy program for primary school
children in Harlem and Washington Heights and a citywide program in which Lang students tutor children who are learning to read.

I thought this was an important project
because in our classes, we were discussing
things like culture and the media, and I
thought we should be able to see our own
voices and visions expressed in the media
that related directly to our school.
Indigenous Studies in Durango, Colorado: At Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, students can pursue Native American and indigenous studies
and internships at Mesa Verde National Park. This suburban campus, surrounded by mountains, offers a contrast to our urban home.
Democracy and Diversity Institutes in Wroclaw, Poland and Cape Town, South Africa: The Democracy and Diversity Institute brings together
New School undergraduate and graduate students with local scholars from the host city and NGO activists from around the world to explore issues ranging
from economic development to gender politics. Students in both programs visit historically significant locations.
Tibetan Culture in the Diaspora in Dharamsala, India: Dharamsala, in the Indian Himalayas, is the capital of the Tibetan government in exile.
Students in this program study Buddhism, the Bön religion, Tibetan secular culture and literature, gender and spirituality, and the Tibetan language. Excursions
include visits to monasteries, government offices, and cultural centers.
The American University in Paris, France: Students can immerse themselves in a global curriculum at the American University of Paris, a small,
dynamic liberal arts college near the Eiffel Tower. Like Lang, AUP offers a student-centered seminar approach with opportunities to cross disciplines.
Knowledge of French is not required.
John Cabot University in Rome, Italy: Lang students have the opportunity to study in Rome at John Cabot University, an American liberal arts university
that offers courses in English. Knowledge of Italian is not required.
Tishman Environmental Merit Scholars Program in Anchorage, Alaska: Twelve-week paid summer internships with national environmental
organizations in Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula. Selected sophomores and juniors from around the country conduct conservation research, develop
innovative environmental education programs, work on grassroots campaigns to advance environmental policies, and support programs to foster sustainable
development in communities throughout Alaska.
