Yes. Museum has long been engaged in graduate training. Doctoral training is embraced by Museum’s mission and is a vital and defining characteristic of the institution. Its doctoral and postdoctoral training programs date from 1908 and are the oldest and largest of any science museum. Authorization by the State of New York (in October 2006) to grant M.Phil, Ph.D. and Honorary degrees acknowledges the Museum’s important role in graduate training of future generations of scientists. A list of students who recently earned a Ph.D. while being at advised at the Museum is available via this link.
