Which university did Georgia O'Keeffe attend in New York City to study art education?

Georgia O'Keeffe attended Teachers College, Columbia University, to study art education.

O'Keeffe enrolled at Teachers College in New York City in 1914. The institution was closely connected with Columbia University and specialized in preparing teachers. Her studies there followed earlier training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the University of Virginia's summer school.

She did not complete the Teachers College program because she became ill with measles. Even so, the period was important because New York exposed her to new ideas about art and teaching. She later worked as an art teacher in Texas and South Carolina, using simplified exercises influenced by modernist approaches.

Teachers College is sometimes mistaken for Columbia College, the university's undergraduate liberal-arts college. They are separate institutions within the Columbia system. O'Keeffe's later artistic breakthrough came through abstract drawings made while teaching in Virginia, but her New York education helped place her in contact with the city's modern-art world.
