I'm interested: What next?

The next step is to declare the Specialization. This is done in two simple steps:


1. Confirm your eligibility:

  • Are you a TC doctoral student in good standing, and have you completed at least one year of doctoral study at TC?
  • Do you have some teaching experience, at any level from infancy through high school?
  • Have you discussed your interest in the Specialization in Teacher Education with your advisor, and does she/he approve of your electing it?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, and/or have questions at this point, please email Professor Mensah (fm2140@tc.columbia.edu) 


2. If you are ready to proceed:

  • Be sure your curriculum vitae is up-to-date and that you have a soft copy available.
  • Complete the Intake Form for the Doctoral Specialization 



3. If you have participated in the Doctoral Specialization previously, and shy of completing the 5 course and would like to complete the specialization, please complete the Intake Form.



4. If you have completed the 5 course for the specialization, please fill out the Completion Form




Again, if you have any questions, please email Professor Mensah (fm2140@tc.columbia.edu)
