Mission

Teachers College, Columbia Universitys (TC or the College) mission is to empower committed learners and leaders to build a smarter, healthier, more just and equitable world through multidisciplinary knowledge creation, policy engagement, and practice innovations across education, psychology, and health.

Program accomplishments

• Instruction: Teachers College is the first and largest graduate school of education in the United States. Since its inception, the College has viewed education holistically, with the conviction that education must work in tandem with efforts to improve and ensure the health and psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities. Thus, in addition to focusing on PK-12 classroom education, Teachers College has helped forge and advance fields of inquiry such as education psychology, nutrition education, special education, conflict resolution, adult learning, movement sciences and many more areas in human development. Throughout history and contemporary discourse, the College has been at the forefront of innovative ideas and inquiry designed to create opportunity for all individuals across the lifespan. Today, approximately a third of TCs tenure track faculty are psychologists and health educators (153 full-time faculty). The College continues to take a multidisciplinary approach through its 45 academic programs in 10 departments across education, health and psychology. The College continues to receive high marks for its academic offerings. In 2016, the Middle States Commission for Higher Education emphatically renewed the institutions accreditation for the next ten years, affirming the Colleges efforts to shape 21st-century approaches to teaching and learning through a research-inspired multi-disciplinary approach, blending both theory and practice and responsiveness to emerging societal issues surrounding education. In 2021, the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP), founded in 2017, granted full, seven-year accreditation to TCs educator preparation programs. Issued with no recommendations for improvements, the accreditation was accompanied by an official commendation citing the quality of [TCs] programs . . . and deep, responsive, inquiry-based engagement with schools and learners in New York City. Additionally, in 2024, Teachers College tied as the #1 graduate school of education according to U.S. News and World Report and in 2025 as the #2 school.

TCs Vice Dean for Research continues to lead efforts to strengthen the institutional infrastructure to support faculty and their work. TCs annual external funded research and training expenditures for FY25 were in excess of $44 million with major funding provided by the US National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, the US Department of Health & Human Services, the Bezos Family Foundation and other public and non-profit institutions. With a critical voice in national and global discourse, TC emphasizes public and community engagement as opportunities for faculty, staff and students to implement the Colleges values into practice for public good. The Colleges Digital Futures Institute continues to gain momentum as an interdisciplinary hub that explores innovative uses of technology through teaching, research and public engagement. Faculty engaged in policy research are thought leaders and influencers in early childhood education, community colleges, social services, school finance, national learning standards and funding of national health programs. The College brings academic experts and other thought leaders on a range of issues to campus through visiting professorships, named lectures and other events. TC faculty are also widely known for innovative curriculum development in academic subjects; school-based health education; nutrition education; organizational psychology; developmental psychology; and more. Teachers College partners with the local community through several innovative school partnerships. The Teachers College Community School (TCCS), located in West Harlem, provides expertise, academic enrichment and support throughout the school, specifically: professional development for teachers; development and evaluation of curriculum; and academic enrichment. More than 20 TC students participate in programs at TCCS during each academic semester. Through TCs Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study, which celebrated its 50th year in 2023, the College also supports the university-assisted community school initiative called Raising Educational Achievement of Harlem (REACH), which brings together community-based organizations and institutional partners to provide academic support and enrichment, mentoring, and mental health support at local schools. REACH supports more than 800 students in three partner schools in Central Harlem.
