The Graduate Center, CUNY
Founded in 1961, the Graduate Center is devoted primarily to doctoral study and awards most of the doctoral degrees conferred by the City University of New York, the nation's largest urban university system. Here, 4,000 students and 1,600 faculty scholars, drawn from throughout the CUNY system and New York City's leading cultural and scientific institutions, join in the shared enterprises of teaching, learning, researching, and expanding the boundaries of knowledge. In this environment of intellectual discovery and exchange, over thirty doctoral programs in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences are augmented by thirty research centers and institutes focused on areas of compelling social, civic, cultural, and scientific concerns.
A recent Academic Analytics Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index placed ten of the Graduate Center’s Ph.D. programs among the top ten in the country, and six were ranked in the top five.
The Graduate Center is also home to thirty interdisciplinary research centers and institutes focused on areas of compelling social, civic, cultural, and scientific concerns. Located in a landmark Fifth Avenue building, the Graduate Center has become a vital part of New York City's intellectual and cultural life with its extensive array of public lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and theatrical events.
