Eligibility: All students enrolled in Ph.D. and M.A. programs in the Graduate School of Arts and Science are eligible. Students funded through the MacCracken program pay no additional tuition or fees.

Admission: Students already enrolled in a Ph.D. or an M.A. program at New York University should submit a statement of purpose, a letter of recommendation, clearance from the departmental director of graduate studies, and the first two pages of the regular GSAS application form to the codirector.

For those not already enrolled at NYU, admission to the advanced certificate program is by application to the Graduate School of Arts and Science.

CONFERENCES

The Program in Poetics and Theory runs annual workshops with a large conference every three years, organized in cooperation with the Kleist Institute at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt an der Oder (Berlin), Germany.

EXCHANGE PROGRAM AND TRAVEL

Ph.D. students may take advantage of an exchange between New York University and the Kleist Institute at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt an der Oder (Berlin). The timing of the exchange is subject to approval by the student’s department and by the directors of the advanced certificate program. Students may take their MacCracken funding abroad during a year in which they have no teaching responsibilities. Qualified students may also apply for stipends from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for a sixth year of funding.
