Welcome
The Neuroscience and Education program at Teachers College was the first graduate program in the United States and Internationally to offer multidisciplinary training focused on the intersections of neuroscience and education. The program is designed to prepare a new kind of specialist: A professional with dual preparation able to bridge the gap between research underlying brain, cognition and behavior, and the problems encountered in schools and other applied settings. Students may also enter this program in preparation for further study in neuroscience and allied fields.
