Mission

BIAS’s mission is to inculcate the next generation of fashion scholars, artists, and designers. BIAS also envisions the dialogic integration of fashion studies with other interdisciplinary academic disciplines as well as artistic and design practices.

Parsons School of Design has offered students innovative approaches to education since its founding in 1896. Today we’re the only American art and design school within a comprehensive university, The New School, which also houses a rigorous liberal arts college and a progressive performing arts school. Our undergraduate and graduate programs, offered through Parsons’ five schools, immerse students in focused training, interdisciplinary inquiry, and practice-based collaborative learning. Here creators and scholars master established art and design fields and advance emerging ones while studying a range of university disciplines.
