The Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA) embodies the distinctive tradition of critical and engaged social thought of the New School. Faculty members combine practical experience in development work, the third sector, or in public advocacy with academic research that engages core problems of globalization and international affairs today. The student body is a diverse, vibrant combination of recent college graduates and professionals who are changing careers or adding to their qualifications.
As of 2010, the GPIA joined with several other programs to become the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy. Milano develops professionals to become effective leaders in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. The school offers master's degrees in environmental policy and sustainability management; international affairs; nonprofit management; organizational change management; urban policy analysis and management; post-master's professional certificates in leadership and change, organizational development, and sustainability strategies; and a doctorate in public and urban policy.

Spotlight on:
The Observatory on Latin America (OLA) creates new opportunities for multiple narratives and public debate on hemispheric processes of reform and change. The broad theme for the OLA is "Social Democracy in a Globalized World: Anticipating Futures in Latin America."
The OLA seeks to support and disseminate the development and articulation of new models of political, social, and economic development in Latin America and to facilitate their communication and dissemination in the United States. The OLA has two programs: Latin America on the Move and Building Latin American Bicentennials in the Age of Globalization.
Equity for Children is an online learning tool and resource sharing initiative, based out of the Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA).
It seeks to engage students, scholars, practitioners, governmental and non-profit organizations, and the media with promoting awareness, increased knowledge and action about issues affecting equity for children and the realization of their rights worldwide.
