The New School for Drama has a legacy of vision. Artistic voices as distinctive as Tennessee Williams and Marlon Brando found their singularity here, under the wing of founder Erwin Piscator and a faculty including Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg. Since 1994, the university has offered the MFA degree in dramatic arts.
With theater in the air and on its streets as surely as on its hundreds of stages, New York City provides an unrivaled curriculum in observation and a wealth of professional opportunities. Through its interrelated program of acting, directing, and playwriting, The New School for Drama is creative in its simplicity and original in its vision.
The New School is forging the next generation of artists capable of meeting our expectations of storytelling, of seeing ourselves as we truly are, and of touching what is human about art.

| Location and Getting there |
The New School is located in one of New York’s most interesting communities, Greenwich Village. Once the intellectual and artistic center of New York, the Village has regained that cachet with the urban renewal that has turned the Flatiron District into America’s publishing capital, Soho into the liveliest fine-arts community in the country, and Tribeca into a film and cultural center. Since service industries follow commerce, the Village and its surrounding areas of Chelsea, Soho, Tribeca, Lower Fifth Avenue, Washington Square, and Union Square are now among New York’s most sought after residential and commercial addresses. The once-disdained and neglected Union Square boasts several of New York’s most acclaimed restaurants. Day and night, The New School neighborhood is alive with strollers, shoppers, boutiques, restaurants (in every price range), coffee shops, theatres, and cinemas. Across America, few big-city universities can boast as charming and stimulating an environment.
