FAQs

  • On average, students tend to be in their late-twenties and early thirties when starting the program. However the age range is wide, from early twenties to late sixties.

  • Most core classes are about 35 students. Elective and seminar classes may be as small as 15 students. The rare, extraordinarily popular class might have as many as 50-60 students, but this is atypical.

  • Full-time students typically take 4 classes a semester. Almost half of our students are part-time students opting to complete the program over 3-5 years by taking 1-3 courses per semester (and sometimes in the summer) in order to manage working full-time while going to school. TC classes are typically offered once per week and are scheduled in the late afternoon and evening in order to accommodate students who work full-time. To check out the schedule of Social-Organizational Psychology courses, please visit the course listing page (search for ORLJ): http://www.tc.columbia.edu/academics/resources/courses/. Please note it is not possible to complete the M.A. program solely by attending classes after 5pm. If you work full-time it is necessary to have at least some flexibility with your employer to attend classes during the day on occasion. Given that classes meet once weekly, working students are usually able to negotiate some time off from the regular work week in order to attend class.

  • We would be delighted for you to visit our campus and to get a feel for Teachers College and the broader Columbia community in action. The Office of Admission offers regular tours to applicants. Please check their website for the schedule and for information about how to visit the campus and participate in a tour.
