School of Arts and Sciences

Hunter College has a long-standing commitment to graduate education. Known for its academic excellence and very fine faculty, the college has been teaching graduate courses since September 1921. Today most departments in the School of Arts and Sciences offer graduate courses of study leading to MA, MS, MUP and/or MFA degrees. They also provide opportunities for non-degree advanced study. In addition to Hunter’s graduate programs, faculty members in all our departments are affiliated with PhD programs at the City University of New York’s Graduate Center.
