Admissions & Financial Aid

For more than a century, Bank Street has led the charge to place students’ needs at the center of education practice.

Since its beginnings in 1916, Bank Street has been at the forefront of understanding how children learn and grow. In schools and museums, early childhood centers and hospital settings, Bank Street has built its reputation on the simple fact that our graduates, educators, and leaders know how to do the work that is right for children.

With more than 50 graduate programs focused on teacher preparation, educational leadership, and child life, Bank Street likely has the program you are looking for to help advance your career and make a difference in the world.

The Offices of Graduate Admissions and Financial Aid are here to help you meet your goals. Whether you’re researching programs, planning a visit to our campus, or looking for information about financing your education, we will work closely with you through every phase of the application process.
