I would be happy to move forward with this request. Please complete and submit the attached form directly to me by reply email. On page two, be sure to address the following in your description of the change(s) to the M.Phil. program:

Confirmation that the changes to the MPhil program are exactly the same as the PhD program, and
Confirmation of the curricular difference between the MPhil and PhD programs. While the principle is typically standard in nature, there are different ways in which institutions manage the curricular differences in awarding the M.Phil. as a result of non-completion of doctoral requirements.

05/17/2023: [Link to NYSED Feedback] NYSED responds to MPhil component change, will move forward with request but advised the following: "In the future, NYU should submit a distinct form for each registered program; if submitted at the same time, the supporting forms need not duplicate, but the two points above should be described on page two of this form. Doing so will result in a more streamlined review and concurrent registration of both programs."

06/07/2023: NYSED response after receiving updated change form with MPhil:

"Thank you for your response and submitting the form. The departure from the standard prompted me to think that there could be a difference in the curricular changes for the PhD and MPhil. When the curriculum change is exactly the same, you can proceed with noting it on the single form as you have in the past.

I anticipate you will receive the official notification of registration for the MPhil in French by early next week."
