The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art (commonly referred to simply as The Cooper Union) is a privately funded college in Downtown Manhattan, New York City. It is one of the few American institutions of higher learning to offer a full-tuition scholarship to all admitted students. The Cooper Union is located in the East Village, around Cooper Square and Astor Place (Third Avenue & 6th-9th Streets). The school offers degree programs in architecture, fine arts, and engineering. The Cooper Union is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), a consortium of thirty-six leading art schools in the United States.

The Cooper Union is one of the most selective colleges in the United States, with an acceptance rate of 10% (though both the art and architecture schools have acceptance rates of lower than 5%).^[1]

A substantial portion of the annual budget is generated through donations from a highly successful group of alumni in both the public and the private sector. Alumni of the School of Engineering have become important figures not only in the science and engineering community but as leaders in corporate and government organizations. The art and architecture schools have produced some of the most renowned creative figures in recent times, most notably Herb Lubalin, Eva Hesse, John Hejduk, Chuck Hoberman, Daniel Libeskind and Milton Glaser.
