Graduate Study at Hunter

Hunter College, the second oldest college in The City University of New York, offers master’s degrees in more than 50 fields of study. We have graduate programs in the arts, sciences, languages and literature – as well as in the professional fields of education, health sciences, nursing, public health, social work and urban planning – and all are considered exceptional. Currently about 6,300 students enroll in these programs.

One of our most important areas – now, as throughout our more than 130-year history – is teacher education. The School of Education today offers a broad range of graduate programs designed to prepare teachers, counselors and administrators for practice, leadership and innovation in education. These programs are defined both by the Hunter tradition of excellence and by our location in the greatest, most vibrant, most diverse urban center in the world.

The Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, the School of Health Sciences, and the newly named CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College are nationally recognized for new approaches to teaching, research and service in health care. The School of Nursing provides a wide array of accredited programs designed to prepare students for leadership positions in health care (including the new Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP); the School of Health Sciences offers an outstanding graduate program in speech-language pathology. The CUNY School of Public Health offers environmental and occupational health, community health education, epidemiology, nutrition and public health. Through the City University Graduate Center,  doctoral degrees in audiology, nursing and physical therapy are available.

The Hunter College School of Social Work, which offers several flexible program options leading to the master of social work degree, is one of the top graduate social work schools in the country. Its faculty is renowned both for training leaders and innovative thinkers in social work and for providing expert service to New York’s multicultural community. Through leading-edge course work as well as opportunities for challenging field experience, through method-based training and a practice-centered education, the Hunter College School of Social Work provides unequaled opportunities to learn and excel in our dynamic urban environment.

The School of Arts and Sciences has a first-rate roster of graduate programs in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences and mathematics. Throughout the long history of graduate studies at Hunter, graduates of these programs have gone on to elite doctoral programs and to distinguished careers. Enhanced by excellent performance facilities, research laboratories, and art studio space, our programs define the frontiers of knowledge in areas as diverse as biotechnology, creative writing and social research, among many others. An MS in accounting responds to changes in the CPA license requirements in New York State.

Centrally located on Manhattan’s East Side, Hunter College benefits from its daily contact with the vibrant cultural life of New York City. The city’s major museums, concert halls and galleries are within easy walking distance, as are famed biomedical research facilities, which offer extraordinary opportunities for collaborative study and research.

Hunter’s faculty includes many distinguished scholars, educators, and creative artists, all of whom play major roles in New York’s academic, cultural, civic and educational life. With over $53 million annually in research grants and awards, Hunter’s faculty is internationally respected for its creativity, energy and scholarship.
