<p>Yes, Teachers College is a graduate school of Columbia University and is the only graduate school of Columbia that offers a degree in clinical psych (among other degrees)–and that degree is of course a Columbia degree, nothing “odd” about it. Yes “Teachers College” is a confusing name, since it’s a grad school, not an undergraduate college, and since it offers areas of study far beyond classroom teaching, but the name is just an historical artifact–it’s a very old and venerable institution. Pay no attention to rhg3rd, who has previously expressed some equally misguided views about the structure of the University (perhaps he or she is an insecure Columbia College student who hates the idea that anyone other than a Columbia College student can lay claim to the name “Columbia”) . Since no other part of Columbia University offers a clinical psych program, it is absurd to claim the TC program is a “step down”–a “step down” from what? If you want a Columbia graduate degree in clinical psych, you get it at Teachers College.</p>
