Teachers College, Columbia University, is the first and largest graduate school of education in the United States and perennially ranked among the nation's best.

Founded 1887, the College has been home to many of the defining figures in American education, including John Dewey, James Earl Russell, and Edward Lee Thorndike. Through its three primary academic areas – education, health, and psychology – TC conducts research and prepares educators, psychologists, policymakers, and leaders for the challenges they will face in their careers.
