VIP

Join The Cooper Union undergraduates as they showcase work from the 2022-2023 Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) in bioengineering, smart cities, electric vehicles, and more. VIP courses are multidisciplinary in nature and support student and/or faculty-initiated projects, guided by faculty mentorship and professional research. Undergraduates that join VIP teams earn one credit each semester for their participation in design/discovery efforts that enable them to explore their interests through long-term projects. Students from all class years take VIP courses together. Learn more about this year's projects here.

Located at 41 Cooper Square, on Third Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, 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.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
