Bachelor Degree Opportunity - New School

FROM NYFA TO THE NEW SCHOOL
Apply your New York Film Academy (NYFA) credits towards a Bachelor's degree at The New School, located in New York City's Greenwich Village, just a few blocks from the New York Film Academy's campus on Union Square. Graduates of the NYFA one-year programs in Filmmaking, Documentary Filmmaking, Producing, and Screenwriting are invited to apply to The New School Bachelor's Program, offering both a bachelor of art and bachelor of science degree in the liberal arts.

Completing your undergraduate degree at The New School allows you to self design a degree plan based on your academic interests and professional goals. You will work closely with a faculty advisor to choose from a diverse set of courses (over 800) each semester. At The New School you will find an equally diverse student body and a stimulating educational environment in which students are truly excited to learn. You will also find the flexibility-through options such as evening, online, and blended (part online/part on campus) classes-to complete your degree on your own terms, in your own time. Please contact the New School Office of Admission for the complete set of curriculum requirements.
