With around 40 graduate students in residence, the Richard Gilder Graduate School has a student body small enough to generate a strong collegiate identity and spirit, yet large enough to provide a diverse student community, which draws from the Museum's own Comparative Biology Ph.D. Program and collaborating institutions including Columbia University, Cornell University, City University of New York, and New York University.
The Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS) is located in a historic building of the American Museum of Natural History. Although the building dates back to 1897, numerous renovations have transformed it into a state-of-the-art facility, with modern labs and classrooms.
Linked to the Museum laboratories by the "Golden Corridor,” the Richard Gilder Graduate School facility includes classrooms, study spaces, and labs right next to the Museum's collection and research areas.
