The Cooper Union For The Advancement Of Science And Art Programs & Rankings

How We Rank Programs

Cooper Union's federal earnings data reflects just one program due to the institution's small size and specialized focus on engineering, architecture, and art. The Art History program shown represents the sole offering with sufficient graduate cohorts to meet federal reporting requirements. Actual program outcomes likely vary significantly across Cooper Union's technical disciplines, with engineering and architecture programs typically producing higher earnings than captured in available data. Rankings reflect labor-market results rather than academic prestige, using Department of Education College Scorecard data that requires minimum cohort sizes for privacy protection. Students should recognize that Cooper Union's actual program diversity and outcomes extend well beyond what federal data captures, particularly in technical fields where the institution has established strong industry reputation.
