Enrollment
The CUNY Graduate School and University Center, located in midtown Manhattan, serves as the principal doctorate-granting institution of the City University of New York system. The school operates from a modern 25-story building at 365 Fifth Avenue, the former B. Altman & Company department store building, which was extensively renovated in 1999 to accommodate academic facilities and research centers. As the hub of CUNY's graduate education programs, the Graduate Center offers more than 30 doctoral programs and over 15 master's degrees, with particular strengths in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. The institution maintains partnerships with various CUNY colleges across New York City's five boroughs, allowing doctoral students to teach and conduct research at multiple campuses. While the Graduate Center does not provide student housing, its central location offers access to multiple subway lines and the cultural resources of New York City.
CUNY Graduate School and University Center is designated as a Predominantly Black Institution (PBI) and receives federal grants supporting the school's efforts to serve low and middle-income Black Americans.
