The Klingenstein Center’s location offers students the benefits of attending Teachers College, the nation's oldest and largest graduate school of education, on a campus enriched by the intellectual and cultural resources of Columbia University and the pulsating energy of New York City. Our Morningside Heights location offers easy access by train, bus or taxi to numerous neighborhoods representing the architecture, foods, and languages of a global community. You need only take a short walk or a brief ride on the subway from the university and you’ll find an abundance of museums, theaters, music venues, restaurants, parks, academic institutions, waterways, shops and recreational activities to enrich your academic experience.
