Encyclopedia > CUNY Graduate Center

The Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York (known more commonly as the CUNY Graduate Center or the GC) is the sole doctorate-granting institution of the City University of New York. (While other CUNY schools may house doctoral degree programs, the degrees are granted through the GC.) It is housed in the former B. Altman department store on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. Apart from those pursuing degrees in small master's programs and the CUNY Baccalaureate Program housed at the GC, all of the nearly 4,000 students at the GC are doctoral students in one of 32 programs.


The GC sponsors numerous continuing education programs, all open to the public, including regular lectures from world-renowned scholars, politicians and artists.
