Visiting Scholar Program

Discover all you need to know in order to successfully apply to Stern as a PhD Visiting Scholar.


The NYU Stern Visiting Scholar Program

Each year, outstanding doctoral students from distinguished universities abroad are invited to engage in research and scholarly interaction at Stern for one or two semesters. Visiting Scholar PhD students are given the opportunity to collaborate with Stern faculty and PhD students, participate in departmental seminars, and access NYU's library and research resources.

A desk may be provided if one is available, but it is not guaranteed. Visiting Scholars are not provided with housing or housing services. Additionally, Visiting Scholars are not permitted to function as employees at NYU.

The PhD Visiting Scholars program is intended for current PhD students who are sufficiently proficient in their disciplines to engage in scholarly interaction that would benefit both Stern as well as the Visiting Scholar. As such, applicants must be doctoral students who are near the end of their required coursework or in the dissertation phase.
