  • Students cannot be registered for classes and cannot access any Cooper Union facilities, including our Student Residence Hall, until these forms are completed. Fall semester course registration for new students is automatic but will be withdrawn for students who have not submitted their completed health form packet. Not completing these forms by the required deadline may have implications for course registration and availability. Students will not be permitted to attend in-person courses in the summer unless the entire health form packet has been received and is completed. Late forms can result in course registration complications and may result in the loss of an offer for on-campus housing.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “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.
