Ph.D students at the Graduate Center for Vision Research (GCVR) complete 80 semester-hr credits of proseminars, tutorials, colloquia, and research. A special feature of the GCVR is the utilization of small discussion group Cambridge University style tutorials. After being admitted in the fall semester, students rotate through two research labs, at the end of which a graduate advisor is selected. Annual student oral presentations are made each May at a Schnurmacher Institute for Vision Research colloquium. Additional requirements include an NRSA style pre-dissertation research proposal due end of the 2nd year, an oral specialty exam, and a dissertation defense. Intensive training in a selected area of research leads to the required Ph.D. dissertation.
The GCVR is devoted to developing outstanding basic and applied vision researchers. The Center hosts VisioNYC, a quarterly conference of the top vision scientists in the metropolitan New York area, and is also a member of the SUNY Eye Institute (SEI), a consortium among visions scientists located at a number of different SUNY member institutions. The GCVR is housed at the SUNY, State College of Optometry in midtown Manhattan across the street from the Bryant Park and the New York Public Library.
