The New York University Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, founded in 1890, is the first school of pedagogy to be established at an American university. Prior to 2001, it was known as the NYU School of Education.
Located on NYU’s founding campus in Greenwich Village, the Steinhardt School offers bachelor’s, master’s, advanced certificate, and doctoral programs in the fields of applied psychology, art, education, health, media, and music. Its academic programs are consistently ranked among the country’s best. NYU Steinhardt also offers several degree programs at NYU's Brooklyn campus.
The school features a unique integration of education, communication, health, and the arts, with collaboration across academic disciplines and a focus on social change. Programs combine rigorous classroom study with local and global hands-on learning opportunities. Students join a strong and supportive community of scholars, working closely with the school’s intellectually adventurous and socially conscious faculty.
Founded in 1890 as the School of Pedagogy, the School soon added courses in psychology, counseling, art, and music. In 1910, it established the first US university chair in experimental education. During the 1920s, enrollment increased from 990 to more than 9500 students. The Education Building on Washington Square opened in 1930 and still serves as the School's home today.
The School was named the Steinhardt School of Education in 2001, in recognition of a $10 million donation, the largest it has ever received, from Michael and Judy Steinhardt. In 2007, the school was renamed the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development to reflect the diversity of its academic programs.
NYU Steinhardt enrolls roughly 5950 students from 67 countries, consisting of approximately 2540 undergraduates, 2820 master’s and advanced certificate students, 390 PhD students, and 140 professional doctorate students. Nearly one-third are people of color and 16% are international students. Its graduate school is NYU’s largest.
In 2013-14, Steinhardt granted 705 undergraduate degrees, 1551 master’s degrees, and 154 doctoral degrees. There are more than 75,000 active Steinhardt alumni.
The school employs 290 full-time faculty in 11 academic departments:
The Department of Administration, Leadership, and Technology at NYU Steinhardt prepares multimedia specialists, researchers, teaching faculty, and trainers for leadership careers in schools, colleges, non-profit agencies, and business settings. Master’s, doctoral, and advanced certificate programs are offered in Educational Leadership, Educational Communication and Technology, Higher and Postsecondary Education, and Business and Workplace Education.
