Overview

The doctorate supplements your course work with departmental content seminars and a dissertation proposal seminar.

Open to doctoral students enrolled in any department or program at NYU, these seminars foster deep conversations on relevant literature and texts, and reflections on issues and research in the field. You’ll work on a paper or project, refine your scholarly voice, and define a dissertation focus.
