PhD | Message from Academic Director

Thank you for your interest in the doctoral program at NYU Stern.

At Stern, we believe that collaboration in research is at least as important as its independence. Through coursework, guided research, and organic encounters, we aim to foster collaborative relationships among our PhD students and exceptional research faculty at all levels with the ultimate goal of seeing our students become faculty colleagues.

As a PhD student at Stern, you will not only receive top-tier training in the theory and tools of your chosen discipline, but will also develop and expand your network across the global academic community through workshops, conferences, and publications.

Students don’t come to Stern simply to be taught, but also to engage beyond the classroom and across disciplines with their peers and faculty mentors. By completing your PhD at Stern, we expect that you will advance the boundaries of your field with a successful dissertation project as well as become a productive scholar and active citizen in your academic department.

Embarking upon a doctoral program is only the first step in establishing a long career of learning, research, and collaboration. We are thrilled that you are considering NYU Stern as a potential home for your scholarly development and welcome you to proceed through our website for more information. If you have additional questions or require further information, please contact us at phd@stern.nyu.edu.

Sincerely,

Viral Acharya
