Education Building
The 72,000-square-foot Education Building hosts many of our classes and programs. We also use neighboring Forcina Hall. The coffee and egg sandwiches at the Education Building’s café bring the community together.

⭐ School of Education
There is profound joy—and powerful opportunity—in connecting children with their own potential to learn and grow. Our work centers on educating teachers who are critical thinkers, studying issues and building curricula. These are the teachers who transform the world, as agents of positive social change.
School of Education
Founded in 1855 as the first teacher-training school in New Jersey and the ninth in the nation, the New Jersey State Normal School eventually became TCNJ in 1996.
TCNJ-educated teachers can be found in nearly every district in New Jersey.
Our teachers-in-training hit the ground running early in the Education Building's model classrooms. And we take STEM education to new heights thanks to a classroom with partially exposed structural and mechanical systems overhead.
Every spring, 100-plus school districts across New Jersey and beyond come to campus for Education Interview Days. More than 1,500 interviews are conducted with our graduating seniors.
Home to Career and Community Studies, the Center for Future Educators, the Center for Sensory and Complex Disabilities, the Dyslexia Initiative, and the Urban Teacher Academy, our School of Education is a leader in preparing students to work with special-needs students.
Looking for “abroad-er” view of education?The Global Student Teaching program allows education majors to student-teach in American international schools in Thailand, France, Croatia, South Africa, Ireland, Dubai, Italy, and other destinations.
Majors include:
Early childhood education
Education of the deaf and hard of hearing
