A Distinguished Private University A DISTINGUISHED PRIVATE UNIVERSITY The founding of New York University in 1831 by a group of eminent private citizens was a historic event in American education. In the early 19th century, a major emphasis in higher education was on the study of Greek and Latin, with little attention to modern or contemporary subjects. The founders of New York University intended to enlarge the scope of higher education to meet the needs of persons aspiring to careers in business, industry, science, and the arts, as well as law, medicine, and the ministry. The opening of the University of London in 1828 convinced New Yorkers that their city, too, should have a university. The first president of New York University's governing council, Albert Gallatin, and his co-founders said that the new university was to be a "national university" that would provide a "rational and practical education for all." The result of the founders' foresight is today an institution of higher education at the forefront of America's urban research universities. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of the 58 private institutions that are members of the distinguished Association of American Universities. Among its stellar – and accessible – faculty are recipients of the Nobel, Abel, and Pulitzer Prizes; the MacArthur, Guggenheim, and Fulbright Fellowships; and Academy and Emmy Awards. The University includes 14 schools, colleges, and divisions at six major centers in Manhattan. In addition, the University operates branch campus programs in Westchester County at Manhattanville College and in Rockland County at Dominican College. Students come to the University from all 50 states and 150 foreign countries, and when they arrive at NYU they find a remarkable "campus of the city." Twenty-six residence halls offer a warm and friendly home-away-from-home. In addition to encountering outstanding faculty in the classroom and an extraordinary range of academic resources, newcomers find themselves in a dynamic setting for study and learning. Violet banners colorfully mark the buildings housing NYU. Behind these banners are unsurpassed resources: eight libraries holding well over three million books; the Courant Institute of Mathematics; Tisch School of the Arts; the Institute of Fine Arts; cultural and foreign language centers; sophisticated computer facilities; and art galleries. These resources, among many others, blend with the educational environment of one of the greatest cities in the Western World. New York City – the international center of finance, culture and communications – offers unmatched internship possibilities and job opportunities. Student life centers around Washington Square in the heart of historic Greenwich Village. More than 350 NYU clubs and organizations provide students with the opportunity to share interests and discover new ones. When not busy with university life, students can also explore the narrow, winding streets of the Village and discover shops and boutiques, restaurants and cafes, theatres and galleries. The Jerome S. Coles Sports & Recreation Center and the Palladium Athletic Facility enable all NYU students – from varsity athletes to those wishing to swim or workout between classes – to take part in an active sports program. For those who are sports fans, these venues offer exciting athletic events pitting NYU teams against their competitors, many of whom are members of the University Athletic Association, a league of eight major urban research universities with an emphasis on academic achievement, stretching from Brandeis University in Boston to Emory University in Atlanta. The success of New York University graduates can be seen in their exceptional record of admission to the nation's most prestigious graduate and professional schools; in the number of careers launched; and in the achievements of alumni who are leaders in business, government and the arts - every sphere of public life. New York University graduates are represented in positions of leadership and influence throughout the nation: Jonas Salk, developer of the first polio vaccine; John J. Creedon, President of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company; Albert Sabin, developer of the oral polio vaccine; Lamar Alexander, former governor of Tennessee and one-time presidential candidate; Laurence A. Tisch, former Chief Executive Officer of CBS; Alan Greenspan, the long-time chair of the Federal Reserve; Dr. Robert K. Jarvik, developer of the first successful artificial heart; Joseph Heller, novelist; Larry Rivers, artist; film directors Spike Lee, Martin Scorcese and Oliver Stone; Henry A. Grunwald, former Ambassador to Austria; Constance Baker-Motley, the first black woman appointed as a United States district judge; and George D. Wald, Nobel laureate in biology.
