Animal Studies is a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field that draws from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to examine what nonhuman animals are like, how human and nonhuman animals relate to each other, and the aesthetic, moral, social, political, economic, and ecological significance of these relations.NYU Animal Studies, active since 2010 and housed in the Department of Environmental Studies, is a central gathering place for people interested in these issues. Our students work with leading scholars in Animal Studies, Environmental Studies, and related fields; participate in intensive seminars, workshops, and conferences; and engage in a wide range of theoretical, practical, and creative pursuits upon graduation.The NYU Animal Studies M.A. Program, active since 2018, empowers students to 1) examine the key debates that define the field of Animal Studies, 2) perform original research that contributes to these debates, and 3) understand the connections across animal issues, environmental issues, and social issues.This program is designed for people who 1) plan to work in professions that provide care for animals, 2) seek to advance understanding of animals in the world, 3) seek to improve the wellbeing of animals in the world, or 4) are enrolled at NYU and want to pursue a discounted graduate education through an NYU B.A.-M.A. Program.Our students have a wide range of interests and aspirations, and our graduates are moving on to exciting new ventures. For example, students from our first cohort have moved on to work at places such as Faunalytics and Charity Entrepreneurship, as well as to further study at places such as the Harvard History of Science Ph.D. program and the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.NYU Animal Studies is very pleased to announce that one half-tuition scholarship is available for Fall 2023. This scholarship is intended for an incoming student who demonstrates financial need and academic merit, has a deep and abiding commitment to ending animal agriculture, and is a member of a group historically underrepresented in the NYU Graduate School of Arts & Science community.
