on The History Department at the CUNY Graduate Center would like to invite undergraduate students to consider pursuing a Ph.D. at the City University of New York. In addition to its eight distinguished central-line faculty members, the department features more than 60 professors from nine different colleges in the CUNY system, enabling them to offer broad coverage in American, European, Latin American, and Middle Eastern history. The Graduate Center is located in the heart of Manhattan, blocks away from the New York Public Library, and belongs to a consortium that enables students to take classes at Columbia, NYU, and other New York-area universities. We also offer very competitive fellowship packages to all incoming students, with additional opportunities for adjunct teaching. We strongly encourage students to contact faculty members who work in the area they’re interested in to see if CUNY is right for them.
