Master's Student: I am enrolled specifically in the Magazine concentration. My professors have all been helpful with helping me succeed and are willing to stay back to go over something I don't understand. There are multiple points of resources at this program. A director is your main academic advisor. Aside from that, there is a pitch specialist to assist with freelancing and two wonderful career advisors. They help with setting up mingle sessions, job fairs, and internship talks. As of now, I haven't had bad experiences, however, I will say that the program is expensive and is an awkward three semesters. Those two things aren't ideal, however, its not too much of a dealbreaker. ... Read 10 reviews

Doctoral Student: In the Physics Department, the classes are wide-ranging and generally well taught. They are challenging and require the amount of effort expected of a very good graduate education. However, the department is also somewhat behind the times in the assessment that is required for a PhD. You will spend two years jumping through hoops before beginning any real work for very little money. Many students wish to do research in String Theory, but there is little funding available and many students are admitted. Funding in most other areas of the department are adequate enough that most students are in the research area they wish to pursue. ... Read 3 reviews

Master's Student: This program is notable for its rigorous curriculum and practical application of data science. It combines theoretical knowledge with real-world application, preparing students to face complex data challenges. Participating in hands-on projects with a tangible impact has been one of my most memorable experiences (machine learning to predict urban traffic patterns, demonstrating the power of data science to influence public policy). The faculty's commitment has provided me with invaluable mentorship, guiding me through the program's rigorous demands. However, the journey has not been without challenges. The coursework's intensity necessitated a steep learning curve, as well as changes in my study habits and time management strategies. While the program provides a solid foundation in data science, expanding its industry connections could provide students with more opportunities to participate in real-world projects and internships, enriching their academic experience. ...

Pam Crabtree

Visiting Research Scholar 2023-24

Pam J. Crabtree is an archaeologist and Professor of Anthropology at New York University where she has taught since 1990. She served as the Anthropology Department’s Director of Undergraduate Studies from 2018 to 2023. Crabtree received her BA (Magna cum Laude) in Art History and Economics from Barnard College in 1972 and her MA (1975) and PhD (1982) in Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania. She was an Overseas Visiting Scholar at the Archaeology Department of the University of Southampton (UK) from 1977 to 1979.

Crabtree is a zooarchaeologist who uses archaeologically-recovered animal bones to study animal husbandry practices, hunting patterns, ancient diets, animal domestication, and the ritual use of animals. She is particularly interested in the archaeology of Early Medieval northwestern Europe, including the transition from the Roman to the post-Roman world and the origins of towns in the early medieval period.  She is the author of Early Medieval Britain: The Rebirth of Towns in the Post-Roman West (Cambridge University Press, 2018).

Crabtree has served as a zooarchaeologist for many sites in Europe and the eastern Mediterranean, including the ISAW-sponsored excavations at Amheida in Egypt and Kinik Höyük in Turkey. She also served as the Co-Director of the excavations at the Iron Age site of Dún Ailinne in Ireland from 2016-2022, and she is currently a member of the New Pastures project that is studying animal husbandry and agriculture in Iron Age Ireland. Crabtree plans to use her fellowship year at ISAW to write a book on method and theory in zooarchaeology.

Program Description

The PhD Program in Anthropology provides doctoral training in each of the discipline’s subfields: cultural anthropology , archaeology , physical anthropology , and linguistic anthropology . The program is committed to excellence in training its students for careers in research and teaching, as well as non-academic fields. In addition to course work, students have opportunities for early fieldwork experience through faculty directed practicums and summer research funding. With close faculty guidance, students in the Program receive outside funding for their research at an exceptionally high rate. Funding agencies have included the National Science Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, Fulbright-Hays, Social Science Research Council, L.S.B. Leakey Foundation, IREX, International Fund for Animal Welfare, The Open Society Institute, CARE Archaeology Foundation, Ford Foundation – U.S. Community Forestry Research, Foreign Languages and Areas Studies (FLAS), American Museum of Natural History, Kellogg Foundation, Jewish Foundation for the Education of Women, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council – Canada, among others.

CUNY anthropology counts more winners of the distinguished MacArthur “genius” award among its alumni than any other anthropology department save the University of Chicago. Three alumni thus far have won this award. Most students also acquire significant undergraduate teaching experience at the various colleges of the CUNY system and other colleges in the area while completing their degrees. The four-field requirement, together with these exceptional opportunities for fieldwork and teaching experience, provide CUNY anthropology graduates with credentials not commonly available from other doctoral programs.

Through CUNY’s consortial arrangement with other institutions in New York City, doctoral students can take courses at Fordham, New York University, the New School for Social Research, and Columbia University. In pursuing their research, they are also able to take advantage of the great diversity of the city itself, and tap its rich resources, from the New York Public Library to the American Museum of Natural History and the Wildlife Conservation Society.

The PhD Program is committed to encouraging diversity among its students, as well as applications from minorities. Enrollment of students of African and Hispanic/Latin descent remains well above the national average.

Special Programs

New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology (NYCEP)  The New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology (NYCEP) is an integrated graduate training and research program in primate behavioral and evolutionary biology, funded by an NSF training grant. NYCEP involves faculty from the City University of New York, Columbia University, and New York University and selected staff of the American Museum of Natural History and the Wildlife Conservation Society. This unique consortium links a group of over thirty evolutionary biologists in New York City whose research focuses on human as well as nonhuman primates from the perspectives of morphology, paleontology, systematics, molecular and population genetics, behavior and ecology, and conservation biology.

Interdisciplinary Study

Students in the PhD Program in Anthropology benefit from several interdisciplinary centers, academic concentrations, and certificate programs at the CUNY Graduate Center. Interdisciplinary concentrations include: Cultural Studies; Health, Society and the City; Language in Context; Latin American and Caribbean Studies; and Public Policy and Urban Studies. Certificate Programs are available in Women’s Studies and American Studies. In addition, many research centers provide a nexus for students interested in Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS is the first such research center in the United States), Western Hemisphere Affairs (The Bildner Center), Jewish Studies, Studies of the European Union, and Research on the African Diaspora in the Americas and the Caribbean, among others.

Requirements for the Doctorate

A minimum of 60 credits of approved course work is required for a PhD in Anthropology. The student’s course of study must be designed in consultation with an advisor assigned by the Executive Officer. The first level provides grounding in general anthropology, theory, and the basic concepts and methods of the student’s subfield. At the second level, students pursue advanced work within the subfield, selected from the broad range of specialties represented on the faculty. The third level, after completion of 60 credits, is devoted to research for the dissertation. All students are required to complete one core course or similar basic work in each of the subfields other than their own before the completion of 45 credits. Students who have a strong background may be exempted from part or all of the requirement. At least 15 credits of advanced level seminars or courses are required, unless exempted by the Executive Officer. In cultural anthropology, students are also required to take two area courses.

First Examination:  The First Examination, a general qualifying examination in the student’s subfield, consists of a six-hour written portion and a one-hour oral portion with the examining committee, and includes a general evaluation of the student’s progress in the program. The student will normally take the First Examination in the semester following completion of 24 credits, although an extension may be granted by the Executive Officer to no later than the semester following the one in which the student is registered for the 36th credit. Students may elect to take a First Examination that combines two or more subfields. All students are required to take the First Examination.

Language Requirement:  The student must demonstrate a reading knowledge of one foreign language appropriate to his or her field of specialization. The foreign language examination must be passed before the student is advanced to candidacy.

Statistics Requirement:  For archaeology and physical anthropology, one course in statistics, to be approved by the student’s advisor and the Executive Officer, must be completed with a grade of B or better. Students in linguistic anthropology may present a second language (which may be a field language) instead of statistics. In cultural anthropology, students may take a research methods course in lieu of statistics.

Second Examination:  The Second Examination is an oral examination in which the student must demonstrate thorough knowledge of two areas of specialization within the subfield, generally one topical and one area specialty. Normally the Second Examination takes place upon completion of 60 credits. A three-member faculty advisory committee is appointed to assist the student in preparing for the Second Examination, which includes the preparation of selective bibliographies for the two specialties. One additional faculty member is appointed to the committee for the actual examination.

Research Proposal:  With the assistance of the advisory committee, the student prepares a research proposal setting forth the proposed dissertation research. The proposal must be defended before the committee for the Second Examination, usually at the time of the examination or within three months after the specialities portion is taken.

Upon completion of all the above requirements, including approval of the research proposal by the examining committee, the student will be advanced to doctoral candidacy.

Dissertation:  The candidate must write a dissertation on an approved subject, under the supervision of a dissertation committee composed of the student’s principal advisor, two other faculty members, and an outside reader. Approval by a majority of the committee constitutes successful completion of the dissertation requirement.

Detailed descriptions of various aspects of the Program, including structure, governance and the course of study, are provided in the Program Handbook. It serves as the resource of record for most questions regarding the program and supplements the more general information contained in both the  Bulletin of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York , (especially that which appears in the section designated “Anthropology”), and the  Graduate Center Student Handbook . Ideas for making the Program Handbook more useful, as well as suggestions for changes in program policy or practice described therein, should be directed to the Executive Officer or to the relevant committee.

SESP Ranked No. 5 by U.S. News

For the second year in a row, Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy (SESP) has been ranked among the top five graduate schools of education according to the 2024-25 U.S. News and World Report Best Education Graduate Schools rankings.

The School of Education and Social Policy and Vanderbilt University's Peabody College tied for fifth place. Among specialties, SESP's education policy program tied for the No. 11 spot with the University of Virginia, rising from No. 12 the previous year.

“SESP is a place of possibility,” said School of Education and Social Policy Dean Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy, the Carlos Montezuma Professor. “It is also a place of the now. We will continue to raise new sets of ideas, rooted in empirical research theories of human development, and learning theories, that create the conditions for thriving futures for the peoples, places, and communities that we serve.”

Overall, Columbia University and the University of Wisconsin Madison tied for the top spot. The University of California Los Angeles and the University of Michigan were ranked third and fourth. The rest of the top 10 included: University of Pennsylvania (No. 7), and Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, New York University, Stanford University, University of Texas Austin and the University of Virginia (tied for No. 8).

The School of Education and Social Policy broke into the top ten US News rankings in 2001-02 and has remained in the top 15 every year since then. Its consistent designation as one of the top schools in the nation reflects an ambitious commitment to interdisciplinary work, research, and innovation.

The School’s three pioneering doctoral programs–learning sciences, human development and social policy, and the joint learning sciences + computer science program–were the first of their kind in the nation and have many imitators.

Our versatile faculty includes experts across an array of disciplines, including social science, natural science, education, psychology, sociology, economics, political science, anthropology, geography, neuroscience, history, and philosophy.

Other faculty highlights include:

• Seventeen National Academy of Education members.
• Thirteen American Educational Research Association Fellows
• Early career superstars. Two-thirds of full professors ages 40-55 are National Academy of Education Members – an award that generally recognizes lifetime achievement.

U.S. News evaluated education schools on research activity, academic excellence of entering students, faculty resources, and opinions on program quality from education school deans and school hiring professionals. Read more about the methodology.

Risa Cromer

Promoted to Associate Professor Department of Anthropology [email protected]

Risa Cromer received her master’s and Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, her bachelor's degree from Willamette University in gender studies, and a graduate certificate in women's studies from the CUNY Graduate Center. She is a nationally recognized cultural anthropologist focused on medicine, bioethics, science, and technology who investigates social justice issues within bioethical controversies concerning reproduction, race, and disability.

Last year, Cromer published her debut book, Conceiving Christian America: Embryo Adoption and Reproductive Politics (New York University Press). It is the first book on embryo adoption tracing how this powerful social movement draws on white saviorist tropes in their aims to reconceive personhood, with drastic consequences for reproductive rights and justice. Her publications include 20 peer-reviewed articles in leading and flagship anthropology and interdisciplinary journals, one book chapter, three editor-reviewed publications, six web-based publications and an online exhibition of creative work. In her applied work, she has contributed to team research projects on mental health services for veterans. She stays active within grassroots efforts around reproductive justice, including serving as a full-spectrum doula, talkline advocate, community conversation project originator, and online accompaniment for abortion-seekers.

Cromer’s research has been supported by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the Brocher Foundation, Stanford University, and the City University of New York.

Before joining the Purdue faculty in 2019, she collaborated on interdisciplinary teams as a postdoctoral fellow in the Thinking Matters program and Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University. In 2018, she was a visiting scholar in the Reproductive Sociology Research Group at Cambridge University.
