• Self-Directed Learning

  • Self-Directed Learning Projects (SDL) are an opportunity for Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students (BPATS) students to conduct applied, experimental, innovative, and practical projects at the intersection of creative practice, intellectual inquiry, and civic engagement.

    SDL Projects are conducted when it makes the most sense for your academic trajectory–not just in your final year of study. Students produce work that informs their trajectory of study and that enables them to advance career goals and/or preparation for graduate school.

    SDL Projects also save you money–making your New School education a bit more affordable.

    Learn about our innovative Self-Directed Learning Projects program.
