Academic Programs

PhD in Anthropology

The Ph.D. Program in Anthropology provides training in the discipline’s four subfields: archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and physical anthropology. In addition to course work, students have opportunities for fieldwork experience through faculty-directed practicums and summer research funding. The four-field requirement, together with opportunities for fieldwork and teaching, provides graduates with credentials not commonly available from doctoral programs.

PhD in Art History

The Ph.D. Program in Art History is dedicated to the development of scholars, teachers, museum personnel, art critics, and other professionals. Students specialize in one area while gaining a full general background in the history of art. Arrangements have been made through the cooperation of various art institutions for students to avail themselves of New York City’s unparalleled opportunities for the study of art history through firsthand experience with art objects and monuments. The program’s Visual Resource Collection includes a rapidly growing digital database, containing more than a half-million images, that is online and searchable.

PhD in Classics

The Graduate Program in Classics emphasizes the study of Greek and Latin literature and Greek and Roman history. Study is also available in such related areas as Greek and Latin stylistics, mythography, and metrics. Members of the faculty also participate in the Program in Comparative Literature, which offers a Ph.D. in comparative literature with a specialization in classics, and in the Ph.D. Program in History, which offers a Ph.D. in history with a specialization in ancient history. The M.A./Ph.D. Program in Classics is also the home of the Summer Latin/Greek Institute and the Database of Classical Bibliography.

Centers and Institutes

Saul Kripke Center

Established in 2007, the Saul Kripke Center houses the archives of Professor Saul A. Kripke, one of the Graduate Center's most distinguished philosophers and logicians, who has made significant and wide-ranging contributions to both mathematical logic and philosophy.

The center is currently creating a digital archive to preserve Professor Kripke's works, including recordings of lectures and seminars dating back to 1970, and lecture notes, manuscripts, and philosophical and mathematical correspondence dating back to the 1950's. The Center sponsors graduate fellowships for students enrolled in the CUNY Graduate Center's Ph.D Program in Philosophy. The Center also makes its archive available for visiting scholars and hosts regular "brown-bag lunch" talks as well as colloquia by distinguished Kripke Scholars.
