Mobility refers to internal study abroad between Parsons Paris and The New School's Parsons School of Design in New York. This program is available to all undergraduate students and graduate students in the Fashion Studies program. Tuition for students enrolled in mobility does not change.

Study Abroad refers to study undertaken at another institution that is not part of The New School. Study abroad can be done either through exchange programs*, program providers, or directly enrolling as a visiting student. These different pathways to study abroad have different steps and requirements, so it's important to talk to your academic advisor about your desire to study abroad early in your planning. Tuition for students studying abroad varies depending on the institution you attend and whether you applied through an exchange program, a program provider, or through direct enrollment.

All Parsons Paris undergraduate students must have earned at least 60 credits in their degree program to be eligible to participate in any study abroad program. 

*Not all exchange programs found in GoAbroad are applicable to Parsons Paris students. Exchange programs are highly competitive are students are encouraged to look at direct enrollment possiblities at certain exchange schools.

Undergraduate students can go on mobility to the NYC campus during their junior year for either one or two semesters.

Graduate students can go on mobility to the NYC campus in their second year for one semester only.

Other opportunities for studying abroad exist through programs that are vetted by our program directors. Although not affiliated with The New School, these programs offer additional ways for Parsons Paris students to study abroad.

When applying to study abroad with a non-provider program, you are directly applying to study at another institution as a Visiting Student. This is called direct enrollment. You will need to familiarize yourself with the application requirements of the institution in which you would like to study. You academic advisor can provide guidance on the steps of direct enrollment and can provide official documentation, such as records of your completed coursework, but it is your responsibility to keep track of deadlines, application requirements, and financial information related to your selected study abroad program.
