A Note on Program and Course Locations
Due to the consortial nature of doctoral study at the Graduate Center, courses take place at the Graduate Center as well as at CUNY colleges. For the most part, courses in the social sciences, humanities, and mathematics convene at the Graduate Center, as do several courses in the sciences that require no laboratory work and courses for the clinical doctorates in public health and nursing science. Science courses requiring laboratory work convene on CUNY college campuses as do select courses for the clinical doctorate in audiology and all courses for the clinical doctorate in physical therapy. Courses for the M.A. in journalism take place at 230 West 41st Street in Manhattan.

Every October, The Graduate Center publishes an annual report outlining security policies, crime reporting procedures, and campus crime statistics. Prospective students can obtain a copy of the report in the Office of Security and Public Safety (Room 1204 or 9117) or request a copy by calling the Director of Security and Public Safety at 1.212.817.7761.
