We are happy to announce that applications for 2021 Ph.D. and master’s programs are open! Deadlines are still months away, but it’s never too early to start planning for your application. The Office of Admissions is here to help as you start collecting documents and investigating potential programs in depth—our Admissions advisors can answer any questions you may have. Please reach out to us if we can assist with anything.
There is one master’s program still taking applications for Fall 2020, the M.A. in Liberal Studies. This is an interdisciplinary master’s program with over 20 concentrations that span the social sciences and humanities. As a student in this program, you can take classes from a large number of Gradate Center master’s and doctoral programs to customize a course of study to fit your own research interests and work with our expert faculty across multiple academic departments. The new application deadline for the M.A. Liberal Studies is July 15.
We look forward to helping you begin your journey toward a Ph.D. or master’s degree.

Good Day,
I will like to know if GRE will be waived for fall 2021 application.
Thank you.
Good morning,
It will depend on which program you are applying to. Please see our testing update for 2021 for details: https://admissions.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2020/07/06/2021-standardized-testing-update/
Thank you for your interest in The Graduate Center.
Hello,
Is it possible to apply to 2 different programs withing the same CUNY school (for example: John Jay’s Clinical Psychology PhD and John Jay’s Pscyhology & Law PhD)?
Thank you.
At The Graduate Center you may apply to only one program per degree type at a time–so one Ph.D. and one master’s, but not two Ph.D. programs for example (I cannot speak for all CUNY schools, I can only speak to the policy here). Both of these that you mentioned are through The Graduate Center (even though a lot of each of these are done physically at John Jay, so I realize that it’s confusing) so you may only apply to one of these areas of study within Psychology.
I want to know if there’s application fee waiver, if not what is the amount for application fee
Good morning, We offer application fee waivers for U.S. military veterans or McNair Scholars. The application fee is $75.
hi
I would like to know if there is a page limit or word limit to the personal statement for music department.
Thanks
N.P
Good morning, There is not a limit on the applicant statement, but generally we’d suggest somewhere around 1000 words. Thank you.
