Cooper Union will maintain — at least for now — its century-old tradition of free undergraduate education, but the school will begin charging graduate students next year, and will expand graduate and other programs to generate more income, its president said Tuesday.
Cooper Union has about 1,000 undergraduate students in schools of engineering, art and architecture, and fewer than 100 in master’s degree programs in engineering and architecture. It is routinely rated among the elite colleges in those fields, making its policy of giving every student a free education all the more remarkable. (Technically, the school does charge tuition, but it gives each student a scholarship covering whatever portion is not covered by other sources like government aid grants.)
