Agreements with university partners include course cross-enrollment agreements (currently with Columbia and CUNY), and service by Museum staff as adjunct faculty for teaching, doctoral student advising, and field and laboratory work. Museum and its partners share costs and responsibility for student funding; Museum students receive support from the collaborative university and the Museum’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program, other funding sources administered by the Museum, or extramural funding sources. Students register at the collaborating university, and receive their degrees from that university, but study at the Museum with Museum scientists. All students in these collaborative programs are members of the Richard Gilder Graduate School community.
