Parsons was a pioneer in the field of art and design since its founding in 1896. At that time, was called the Chase School, the name of the American impressionist painter William Merritt Chase, who led a small group of progressives who left the Art Students League in New York in search of freer, more dramatic expression and single. In 1904, Frank Alvah Parsons joined Chase six years later became president of the School. In anticipation of a new wave of industrial revolution, Parsons predicted that art and design that will soon be inextricably linked to the engines of industry. His prophetic vision was confirmed in a series of firsts for the school:
- The first program in Fashion Design
- The first program in Interior Design
- The fist program in Advertising and Graphic Design
Each program has profoundly affected American life. In 1939, nine years after the death of Frank Alvah Parsons, the school officially adopted the name.
Parsons has been affiliated since 1970 at the New School, formerly known as the New School University. Parsons is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), a consortium of thirty-six major art schools in the United States.
