Program areas at TC

Instruction: Teachers College brings together a breadth of academic disciplines unmatched by any other graduate school of education within a single institution. Our name notwithstanding, the College, from its inception has focused not only on pre-K-12 classroom education, but also on adult learning, leadership, health, psychology, nutrition, movement sciences, art and music education, speech pathology, and many more areas in human development. This vision of education (today embodied in 80 academic programs across 10 academic departments) supports learning that broadly enables the development not only of individual students, but of families, communities, cities and nations. Teachers College's 165 full-time faculty includes some of the most nationally and internationally prominent and widely respected thinkers, researchers and practitioners in their various fields. Policy research is a major strength, with a core group of faculty members who have directly influenced national legislation or state legislation in early childhood education, community colleges, school integration, social services, school finance, national learning standards, charter school development and funding of national health programs. The College's Cowin Conference Center has helped establish the College as a national center for debates on these and other issues. The College served as host to a live and nationally webcast debate between the education advisers of the two former presidential nominees, as well as host of major addresses by the US Secretary of Education and two New York City public school Chancellors. TC faculty are also widely known for innovative curriculum development in academic subjects; health education focused on schools; nutrition education; organizational psychology; developmental psychology; and more.
Auxiliary Enterprises: Auxiliary Enterprises provides a convenient source of meals and lodging for students enhancing their College experience. Another major component of auxiliary enterprises is the Teachers College Press. Established in 1904 as the Bureau of Publications, the Press is one of the oldest and most distinguished publishers of educational materials in the United States. Since 1965, when the Bureau of Publications became Teachers College Press, its primary purpose has been to publish works that respond to, examine, and confront issues and change pertaining to education and the educational process. Over the years the publication program has included scholarly and professional works in all areas of education- from early childhood and curriculum to philosophy and critical theory; from assessment and school reform to parenting and social issues. It now publishes more than 68 titles a year with over 1,100 titles in print. Among the Press's authors are many of the most distinguished educators from throughout the world, including members of the Teachers College faculty.
Research, Training and Public Service: TC's current annual funded research expenditures are in excess of $47 million, with major funding provided by the US National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Laura and John Arnold Foundation and other public and non-profit institutions. TC places a major emphasis on public and community service, both in its research and in preparation of its students. The College's Office of School and Community Partnerships has collaborated with a group of Harlem public schools to form a unique partnership supported by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, focused on professional and curriculum development in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and math). Through this partnership, which is now anchored by the Teachers College Community School (established in partnership with the New York City Department of Education) as well as through TC's pre-service teacher education programs, which require two field placements per year in city schools, and the TC Zankel Fellowships and other programs, TC students spend significant time in public service roles.
Academic Support- Provides support services for the College's primary mission of instruction, research & public service. The College provides students with access to its Gottesman Libraries, one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive research libraries in education. The collections reflect TC's commitment to advanced study in education, psychology, and the health professions. The library has developed extensive collections including 500,000 printed volumes and substantial non-print collections.
Student Services-contributes to student's emotional and physical well being and to their intellectual, cultural and social development outside the context of the formal instruction program. The College awarded approximately $35 million in financial aid in FY22, has roughly 5,800 students and over 43 student organizations that play an active role in campus life. Student groups include the TC China Society, ASL Club, Coalition of Latino Scholars, Student-Parent Group, Queer TC, Rural Education and Healthcare coalition, and the Student Senate.
