The programs in Bilingual/Bicultural Education (BBE) prepare educators, policy makers and researchers to understand issues surrounding the education of linguistically and culturally diverse students. The programs also develop the understandings and strategies necessary to educate for bi/multilingualism, multiculturalism and cross-cultural understandings, and the use of multiple literacies. The BBE programs do so while noting the differences in educating language minority students, language majority students, and linguistically heterogeneous groups.
Economics is a powerful tool for scholars and educational practitioners who wish to develop a better understanding of educational institutions and decisions. The program in Economics and Education at Teachers College was one of the first of its kind and has maintained its position of leadership in this rapidly growing field.
