Summer Orientation Program for International Students (SOPIS)

Welcome to Parsons and to the Summer Orientation Program for International Students (SOPIS).

SOPIS is a summer pre-enrollment program for students who have been conditionally accepted into Parsons’ undergraduate and graduate degree programs on the basis of their art and design skills, but require additional classes to meet their English language requirements. Only students who have already applied to a degree program at Parsons and received notification from the Office of Admission that they must attend SOPIS should register for this program. 

SOPIS students are required to attend and successfully complete the program in order to begin their studies at Parsons in the fall.
