The New School has been vital forum for writing since 1931, when Gorham Munson, a member of the Stieglitz circle, on impulse initiated a workshop in creative writing. In the early 1950s, critic Maxwell Geismar stated that “The New School has become the richest center of new fiction among all our colleges and universities.” Today, The New School offers an extensive curriculum open to matriculated and continuing education students. Most courses may be taken for undergraduate credit or on a noncredit basis. The program’s writing instructors are all published writers and experienced teachers, and many students go on to publish or enter graduate writing programs.
