Psychiatric Medical Referrals

Cooper Union does not provide psychiatric care. When seeking any medical care, including the services of a psychiatrist, students will need to use their own medical insurance.

All students should contact their insurance company prior to engaging with a healthcare provider to be 100% sure that the provider participates in their insurance plan. Whenever possible, students should also contact their insurance company in advance of any medical appointments or procedures to be sure they fully understand all of the costs associated with their care. Students are responsible for all costs associated with their healthcare.

Our Student Care Coordinators, Cassandra Jolicoeur (cassandra.jolicoeur@cooper.edu) and Elizabeth London (elizabeth.london@cooper.edu), can assist students in finding local psychiatric care providers. Student needing assistance should contact Cassandra or Elizabeth using their personal email addresses above or can reach out to the Student Care team via email at studentcare@cooper.edu. 

  • 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.
