Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Teachers College, Columbia Universitys (TC or the College) mission is to empower committed learners and leaders to build a smarter, healthier, more just and equitable world through multidisciplinary knowledge creation, policy engagement, and practice innovations across education, psychology, and health.

Activities or mission (Part I)

See additional information Part I, Line 1

  • Instruction: Teachers College is the first and largest graduate school of education in the United States. Since its inception, the College has viewed education holistically, with the conviction that education must work in tandem with efforts to improve and ensure the health and psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities. Thus, in addition to focusing on PK-12 classroom education, Teachers College has helped forge and advance fields of inquiry such as education psychology, nutrition education, special education, conflict resolution, adult learning, movement sciences and many more areas in human development. Throughout history and contemporary discourse, the College has been at the forefront of innovative ideas and inquiry designed to create opportunity for all individuals across the lifespan. Today, approximately a third of TCs tenure track faculty are psychologists and health educators (153 full-time faculty). The College continues to take a multidisciplinary approach through its 45 academic programs in 10 departments across education, health and psychology. The College continues to receive high marks for its academic offerings. In 2016, the Middle States Commission for Higher Education emphatically renewed the institutions accreditation for the next ten years, affirming the Colleges efforts to shape 21st-century approaches to teaching and learning through a research-inspired multi-disciplinary approach, blending both theory and practice and responsiveness to emerging societal issues surrounding education. In 2021, the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP), founded in 2017, granted full, seven-year accreditation to TCs educator preparation programs. Issued with no recommendations for improvements, the accreditation was accompanied by an official commendation citing the quality of [TCs] programs . . . and deep, responsive, inquiry-based engagement with schools and learners in New York City. Additionally, in 2024, Teachers College tied as the #1 graduate school of education according to U.S. News and World Report and in 2025 as the #2 school.

  • Research, Training and Public Service: Teachers Colleges faculty includes some of the most internationally prominent and respected scholars, researchers and practitioners in their various fields. Our faculty examine a diverse range of topics, including the impact of poverty on the brain, the legal basis for a constitutional right to education, artificial intelligence in education, gun violence prevention in schools, the impact of microaggressions on wellbeing and language development related to autism. TCs Vice Dean for Research continues to lead efforts to strengthen the institutional infrastructure to support faculty and their work. TCs annual external funded research and training expenditures for FY25 were in excess of $44 million with major funding provided by the US National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, the US Department of Health & Human Services, the Bezos Family Foundation and other public and non-profit institutions. With a critical voice in national and global discourse, TC emphasizes public and community engagement as opportunities for faculty, staff and students to implement the Colleges values into practice for public good. The Colleges Digital Futures Institute continues to gain momentum as an interdisciplinary hub that explores innovative uses of technology through teaching, research and public engagement. Faculty engaged in policy research are thought leaders and influencers in early childhood education, community colleges, social services, school finance, national learning standards and funding of national health programs. The College brings academic experts and other thought leaders on a range of issues to campus through visiting professorships, named lectures and other events. TC faculty are also widely known for innovative curriculum development in academic subjects; school-based health education; nutrition education; organizational psychology; developmental psychology; and more. Teachers College partners with the local community through several innovative school partnerships. The Teachers College Community School (TCCS), located in West Harlem, provides expertise, academic enrichment and support throughout the school, specifically: professional development for teachers; development and evaluation of curriculum; and academic enrichment. More than 20 TC students participate in programs at TCCS during each academic semester. Through TCs Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study, which celebrated its 50th year in 2023, the College also supports the university-assisted community school initiative called Raising Educational Achievement of Harlem (REACH), which brings together community-based organizations and institutional partners to provide academic support and enrichment, mentoring, and mental health support at local schools. REACH supports more than 800 students in three partner schools in Central Harlem.

  • Auxiliary Enterprises: Provides a convenient source of meals and lodging for students enhancing their College experience. Another major component of auxiliary enterprises is the Teachers College Press. Established in 1904 as the Bureau of Publications, the Press is one of the oldest and most distinguished publishers of educational materials in the United States. Since 1965, when the Bureau of Publications became Teachers College Press, its primary purpose has been to publish works that respond to, examine, and confront issues and change pertaining to education and the educational process. Over the years, the publication program has included scholarly and professional works in all areas of education-from early childhood and curriculum to philosophy and critical theory; from assessment and school reform to parenting and social issues. It now publishes more than 65 titles a year with more than 1,350 titles in print. Among the Presss authors are many of the most distinguished educators from throughout the world, including members of the Teachers College faculty.

    Expenses $21,957,415 · Revenue $20,290,978

  • Academic Support: Provides support services for the Colleges primary mission of instruction, research and public service. The College provides students with access to its Gottesman Libraries, one of the nations largest and most comprehensive research libraries in education. The collections reflect TCs commitment to advanced study in education, psychology, and the health professions. The library has developed extensive collections including 500,000 printed volumes and Substantial non-print collections.

    Expenses $22,848,268 · Grants $150,000

  • Student Services: Contributes to a students emotional and physical well-being and intellectual and social development.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
