Venue description

Department of Health and Behavior Studies programs share the common goal of helping people to realize their full potential as learners, to make informed decisions, and to attain the best possible quality of life. Health and learning are inextricably linked. Optimal learning cannot take place in an atmosphere permeated by physical, psychological, and social health problems, and optimal health cannot be achieved without skill in learning and literacy. One way to enhance learning potential is by overcoming health-related constraints and barriers to literacy through work at both the individual and community levels. Some programs prepare professionals to work with individuals and draw on and contribute to the behavioral sciences and education. Others emphasize the development and assessment of innovative, multidisciplinary, community-based interventions.

Accommodation details

Teachers College offers a variety of housing options for single and married students, students with domestic partners, and single parents. We have approximately 450 rooms/apartments for single students and 150 apartments available for families/domestic partners. Since many students choose to remain in residence halls for their entire stay at Teachers College, the number of spaces available for any given semester is less than the total number of spaces reflected above, and usually ranges from between 150-250 spaces. We accept applications for housing up to one year before you plan to begin your studies.
