The Policy Experience

A Center for Education Policy


TC buildingTeachers College lives and breathes policy study and analysis. Advancing both theoretical and applied dimensions of policy, our internationally renowned policy facultyteach courses, undertake path-breaking research, and help shape policy debates through their publications and commentary. TC students augment their theoretical training with fellowships, internships, colloquia, and policy student network activities. Some put their primary emphasis on studying education policy by enrolling in one of the degree programs that beginning in Fall 2011 will be housed in the new Department of Education Policy and Social Analysis. Others concentrate their efforts on important issues dealt with in depth by other programs and sample selectively from the array of policy-focused courses and activities available to all students. Given the strength of faculty and students, and the unique opportunities offered, TC provides a dynamic policy experience.
