Steinhardt students are passionate about helping others. Our mission is to advance knowledge, creativity and innovation at the crossroads of culture, education and human development. We exemplify NYU's commitment to be of public service. Our students belong to a strong and supportive community of scholars - a warm, nurturing environment that encourages the exploration of new ideas.

The Department of Applied Statistics, Social Science and Humanities

There are eleven departments in all of Steinhardt. The Applied Statistics, Social Science and Humanities (ASH) Department is the department that houses the Education Studies program. It is the first and only undergraduate BA program in the department. Within this department you will find five Master's programs, four Doctorate programs, and two undergraduate minor programs. NYU Steinhardt's ASH Department is primarily devoted to the discipline-based study of education and other institutions, processes, and policies. The bulk of our faculty - including economists, historians, philosophers, political scientists, and sociologists - investigate urgent social trends and questions in the United States and throughout the world.
