HISTORY

The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art is a private college at Cooper Square on the border of the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Inspired in 1830 when Peter Cooper learned about the government-supported École Polytechnique in France, Cooper Union was established in 1859.  The school was built on a radical new model of American higher education based on founder Peter Cooper’s fundamental belief that an education “equal to the best technology schools established” should be accessible to those who qualify, independent of their race, religion, sex, wealth or social status, and should be “open and free to all.”
