School of Education's Undergraduate Program Receives a “Top Tier” rating by the National Council on Teacher Quality

Thomas Hunter founded this college in 1870 to teach teachers how to teach. Now, in 2017, Hunter College's School of Education has been named one of only 16 out of 717 undergraduate programs that prepare secondary school teachers to receive a "Top Tier" rating by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ). In their recent report, "Landscapes in teacher prep: Undergraduate secondary," the watchdog group found that only a few training programs offered sufficiently excellent preparation in subject matter and classroom management. Out of the 16 that made the cut, Hunter was the only one in NY, and the program with the lowest tuition.
