The Ph.D. Program in English draws on the abundant resources of New York City and CUNY to provide exceptional, varied academic training that both profits from the rich inheritance of literary tradition and contributes to current innovations in a rapidly changing discipline.
In a recent study conducted by Academic Analytics, the Ph.D. Program in English ranked tenth in the country for the scholarly achievement of its faculty, according to a Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index. Further, in the "broad" category of humanities, the Graduate Center was fourth after Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. The rankings take into account scholarly publications, honors and awards and grants. (These findings were reported in the January 12, 2007, issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education. For the survey results, visit Academic Analytics.) The Ph.D. Program in English also ranked first nationally in a 2000 survey of U.S. Doctoral Programs, their educational practices, and student satisfaction.
