Academic Vision Through outstanding academic programs in architecture, art and engineering, and a Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art prepares talented students to make enlightened contributions to society. From the start, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony. Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills that lead to prosperity while, at the same time, enriching their intellects and sparking their creativity. And he had a third purpose as well: To instill a sense of social justice that would translate into action. In 1859, such a broad pedagogical goal was visionary; today, it is the standard by which excellence in higher education is measured. FOUNDATION BUILDING The Cooper Union’s Foundation Building is a national and city landmark. Its Great Hall has served as a public forum since 1859, when 3,500 people could stand to hear free lectures by the speakers whose views were reshaping society. This exceptional venue served as a platform for Abraham Lincoln’s “Right Makes Might” and the birth of the NAACP and the women's suffrage movement. As a presidential candidate and then returning two years later as President, Barack Obama spoke on financial reform and economic regulation. Today, The Great Hall continues as a forum for civic discourse, cultural events, performances and community activities. 41COOPER SQUARE The Cooper Union’ s new building at 41 Cooper Square—a technologically advanced academic facility—is located on the east side of Third Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets. Awarded LEED Platinum by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), 41 Cooper Square houses the college’s Albert Nerken School of Engineering and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences along with additional facilities for the School of Art and the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture. Designed by 2005 Pritzker Prize-winning architect Thom Mayne of Morphosis, the nine-story, 175,000 square foot, full-block building replaces more than 40 percent of the academic space at the college with reconfigurable, state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, studios and public spaces. Built with stringent sustainability goals, 41 Cooper Square is the first LEED Platinum certified academic building in New York City. ALUMNI The college has educated leaders whose contributions have significantly shaped our world, including design of the microchip prototype, cancer detection processes, signature buildings and widely recognized works of art. Just a few celebrated Cooper Union alumni include: Daniel Libeskind Jewish Museum in Berlin Russell Hulse Nobel Prize in Physics (discovered binary pulsar) Wangechi Mutu Internationally known artist Elizabeth Diller/ Ricardo Scofidio Designers of the High Line and Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hal Kevin Burke Consolidated Edison CEO and Chairman Alex Katz Legend in contemporary art scene since 1950s

The Department of Photography & Imaging at Tisch is a four-year BFA program centered on the making and understanding of images. Students explore photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression. The program offers students both the intensive focus of an arts curriculum while demanding a serious and broad grounding in the liberal arts. It is a diverse department embracing multiple perspectives; the 140 majors work in virtually all modes of analog and digital photo-based image making and multimedia. Our faculty and staff consist of artists, commercial and documentary photographers, designers, critics, historians, and scholars, offer a wide range of perspectives. Alumni from the department go on to exhibit their work in galleries and museums; publish in national newspapers and magazines; pursue graduate degrees; become art critics; work as documentary photographers and photojournalists, filmmakers, graphic designers, web designers, picture editors, and educators; work in computer graphics and multimedia; and work in museums, educational, and community art settings. The course offerings are extensive and varied in both the studio and critical studies area. Working with faculty advisors, students tailor a program that is best suited to their interests and goals. The curriculum of studio and critical studies courses is aimed to teach students how to think critically, to see and to find their individual vision in order to adapt and excel in a constantly evolving field. “Photography and Imaging provides a rigorous academic environment where critical thinkers, both art and documentary image-makers, can thrive. The students here cultivate their skills and nourish their creativity in a small community where studio practice is immersed in liberal studies. Our graduates are connected to the many worlds of photography and imaging, including photojournalism, art photography, archiving, curating, commercial photography, advertising, academia and publishing. To study photography in New York City is to be at the center of a metropolis where the photo lens becomes your insight into visual experience, including neighborhoods such as the fashion, financial, or meatpacking districts; galleries and museums; individuals; urban life; nightlife; theater; and Central Park. Students explore photo-based imagery as personal and cultural expression.” -Deborah Willis, Ph.D., Chair Become a Fan to stay up-to-date with Current and Upcoming Exhibitions, Scholarships, Art Forums, Open Crits, ISO Magazine, and more!
