New York University

NYU Steinhardt’s teacher education programs place you directly in rich, real-world classrooms—from early childhood to secondary—through the University’s NYC partnership schools network.

You’ll engage in supervised fieldwork and student-teaching experiences alongside mentor teachers while integrating cutting-edge coursework grounded in inclusive, culturally responsive practice. This blend of theory and immersion ensures you enter the profession ready to teach, reflect and grow in diverse learning environments.

You’ll learn how to teach and support diverse learners—from multilingual students to those with special needs. Through coursework in culturally responsive teaching and immersive field experiences in NYC partner schools, you’ll learn to design inclusive, engaging lessons and build strong connections with students, families and communities.

You’ll graduate ready to meet each learner’s academic, social and emotional needs with confidence and care.

During your student teaching experience, you’ll be paired with an experienced mentor teacher  who coaches, observes and gives you actionable feedback as you learn in partner schools.

The support continues after graduation—connecting you to alumni networks and professional development resources so you’re never teaching alone. With this layered mentorship, you’ll move into education confident, supported and ready to lead.

Graduate tuition costs $2,272 per credit, plus standard registration fees. Your yearly tuition will depend on how many credits you take each semester.

For example, the Teaching English & Students with Disabilities program requires 42 total credits and can be completed full time or part time. The total cost of the program is $95,424, but your annual tuition will vary based on your course load.
