The New York University Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development (commonly referred to as NYU Steinhardt) is the education school of New York University. The school was founded as the School of Pedagogy in 1890. 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. NYU Steinhardt also offers several degree programs at NYU's Brooklyn campus.[3]

History

[edit]

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 United States university chair in experimental education. During the 1920s, enrollment increased from 990 to more than 9,500 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.

Academics

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.[1] Its graduate school is NYU's largest.[4]

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.[5]

Frederick Loewe Theatre operated by Steinhardt

A music department was established in 1925 within the School of Education. In 1968,[16] the New York College of Music, which was an American conservatory of music originally founded in 1878 and located in Manhattan,[17] closed and merged with NYU, leading to the music department of the School of Education to serve both in its original capacity and as the spiritual continuation of the New York College of Music.[18] Continuing to provide the unique educational experience of a university school of pedagogy and performance as well as inheriting the rich performance tradition from New York College of Music, the Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions was developed and is now home to nearly all of NYU's music performance and music education degree programs. Steinhardt MPAP enrolls nearly 1600 students in undergraduate, master's and doctoral studies in music technology, music business, music composition, music education, film scoring, music performance practices, performing arts therapies, and performing arts education (in music, dance, and drama).
