The Fall 2026 Graduate Application is Now Live!
We are excited to announce the start of the new admissions cycle for the MS Design and Urban Ecologies Program at Parsons School of Design. Our program brings together designers, planners, scholars, and activists to rethink cities and confront urgent challenges—housing justice, climate change, migration, inequality, and more—through innovative, community-centered design and research.
During the information sessions, prospective students will learn more about the program’s vision, curriculum, and unique studio-based approach that combines theory with hands-on practice in New York City and beyond. Faculty and students will share their experiences, and there will be time for questions about admissions, scholarships, and opportunities after graduation.
Whether you are passionate about urban justice, ecological sustainability, or the future of city-making, these sessions are an opportunity to explore how Design and Urban Ecologies can prepare you to lead transformative change.
