Ph.D.-Teaching and Learning

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The highly selective doctoral program in Teaching and Learning in NYU Steinhardt aims to prepare first-rate scholars and practitioners in teaching and teacher education, curriculum design and evaluation, educational reform, and public policy as it affects teaching and learning. The program offers either the Ph.D. or the Ed.D. degree. Both degree paths are designed to draw on four sources of learning: (1) the experience of professional practice that students bring to their studies, which provides context and depth of field; (2) a rich set of courses, seminars, and independent learning experiences available to program students within the Department of Teaching and Learning, other departments in NYU Steinhardt, and other schools at NYU; (3) mentorship in research, teaching, and program development, including participation in research and development projects that focus on the problems and potential of urban schools, urban teachers, and urban youth; and (4) an intellectually focused and interpersonally supportive community of professors, researchers, and peers. Unique graduate study abroad programs are offered in Shanghai, China; London and Oxford, England; and Brazil.
