No Ivory Towers
What makes Teachers College different from other graduate schools?
Its location in the heart of the major urban center in America and its close contact with the institutions of New York City give the College vibrancy. The wide-ranging expertise of the College's faculty offers students a plethora of philosophies from which each student can form a personal point-of-view. And, especially, the interplay between theory and practice, between the world of the mind and the world of real work with real people, children, adolescents and adults, makes Teachers College the one-of-a-kind institution that it is. And each graduate of Teachers College becomes a one-of-a-kind leader-the kind of leader institutions of our nation and our world need today.
