PhD in Linguistics

The M.A./Ph.D. Program in Linguistics is designed to provide the student with a sound training in a wide variety of language-related areas, leading to a career in teaching and scientific research. Building on core offerings in current grammatical theory, the student may elect to specialize in either theoretical, experimental, or applied areas. The program maintains laboratories for research in Second Language Acquisition and Psycholinguistics. The program also offers, at the M.A. level, a degree in general linguistics, and a concentration in Computational Linguistics.

PhD in Educational Psychology

The Ph.D. Program in Educational Psychology is designed to train students to conduct basic and applied research in the application of psychological theory to education, to analyze critically the process of education, to develop and evaluate instructional methods and techniques, and to formulate educational policies and programs. Students prepare for teaching, research, and consultative positions in higher education, as well as for positions in city, state, and national departments of education, in curriculum development programs, and in research development centers in education.

PhD in Economics

The Ph.D. Program in Economics equips students to conduct research that will contribute to the development and application of knowledge in economics. One main objective of our program is to train students to become proficient economists, to think about economic questions in a lucid and critical manner, and to engage in independent research. A second main objective is to prepare our students so that they are ready for careers in either academia or in the private sector. All students complete a core set of courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, after which they take courses in specialized areas. Students can write their dissertations in any of the six areas described below. Our diverse national and international student body contributes to the vibrant learning environment in the program. Through the consortium arrangement, faculty from many different CUNY campuses are involved in the doctoral program and engaged in a wide range of applied and theoretical research. Our graduates have gone on to careers in academia, government, consulting, industry, and especially finance, as well as international and research organizations.

Centers and Institutes

Center for the Study of Culture, Technology and Work

The Center for the Study of Culture, Technology and Work at the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York opened in 1988. Since its inception, the center has focused on fostering connections between intellectuals and activists, and translating theoretical and conceptual work into practice.

Toward this end, the center has sponsored conferences, colloquia, and workshops in diverse areas, including: the crisis of urbanism; globalization and resistance movements; education; technology (technoscience); and the future of work. The center also supported the development of the Paolo Freire Institute, an organization of educational activists focused on advocating the democratization of education, especially for access to educational opportunity for traditionally excluded groups.
