The Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS) encompasses the American Museum of Natural History’s (AMNH) post-secondary training programs in science. This broad community includes our PhD program in Comparative Biology and MAT program (Master of Arts in Teaching - Earth Science); and all other doctoral work with collaborating universities including both biological disciplines and in fields other than biology; undergraduate training programs; museum grants programs, and postdoctoral fellows.
Below is a list of the programs we offer, and the attached flyer presents an overview of those programs.
