  2. When Jamestown Business College was founded in 1886, its charter called for the "establishment of a school designed to qualify young men and women for office requirements at low cost to those whose inclinations and ambitions lead them to business pursuits." The college's mission remains fundamentally the same today. The college fulfills this mission by offering degree and non-degree programs that develop professional competencies for business careers and provide general education to contribute to each student's intellectual and emotional growth. The various programs meet student needs and the demands of the area community. The measure of the college's success will be evidenced by the success of its graduates in finding relevant employment by the partnerships the college has forged with the business community and by the opportunities available to students interested in pursuing additional education. Jamestown Business College is dedicated to believing that its programs should prepare students to enter the workforce and take part fully in today's society. The college offers general education courses to help students think logically and critically, improve their communication skills, achieve self-knowledge, work cooperatively in teams, and develop an appreciation of life-long learning. These are essential skills for graduates to possess in our rapidly changing society and increasingly complex workplace. All students are encouraged by the faculty and staff to achieve their academic and personal potential. To accomplish this, the college provides a supportive environment in which students can access a range of academic, personal, and career services. It is also essential to the college that its student body represents all segments of the diverse community it serves, adding richness and strength to the teaching and learning process. Our mission is to educate and empower students to enter the workplace with the knowledge and professional skills necessary to be successful in business, advance their education, and participate fully in our community and society. There are two essential elements in creating and maintaining protective programs and systems: understanding students and employees of campus crime and safety hazards and communication methods and activities to reduce or eliminate security and safety threats and hazards. Therefore, it is the policy of Jamestown Business College that all students and employees of Jamestown Business College are to report criminal acts and safety hazards or occurrences known to them. In the event of any concern, the proper reporting procedure for everyone is to contact Jamestown Business College's administrative staff at 716.664.5100 during regular operating hours. In the event of an immediate threat, danger, injury, or criminal occurrence, you are advised to call the local police/fire/emergency medical service in your jurisdiction first. Management program prepares students for a wide range of advanced professional options in the business arena. The program focuses on implementing strategic business practices, the role of ethics in the workplace, decision-making strategy, and global business practice knowledge. The advanced business administration curriculum includes operations management, critical thinking, human resources, business ethics, organizational behavior, and project management. The Dean provides personalized counseling and assistance to students who are interested in a transfer. Students interested in transferring should contact the Dean to learn about the institutions to which JBC graduates have recently transferred their JBC credits. Acceptance of credit is solely determined by the institution to which the student is applying. Jamestown Business College has an agreement with the James Prendergast Library to provide library services for JBC students. The James Prendergast Library is located at 509 Cherry Street, Jamestown, NY, near the college. The mission of the James Prendergast Library is to provide access to information resources, staff, facilities, and services that respond to the pursuit of knowledge, education, lifelong learning opportunities, and cultural enrichment by the people of the City of Jamestown and Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties. The library is open to the general public but is Jamestown Business College's number one resource in the area. Prendergast Library's reference staff meets with all students during their ENG151 course to demonstrate how to use the library's databases and resources. At Jamestown Business College, we understand that most students' significant concern is how they will pay for college. That is why JBC's Financial Aid staff is available to work with each student individually to discuss the most effective plan possible for meeting college costs. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step toward receiving federal and state aid for college. Many colleges and scholarship programs also use the FAFSA to award financial aid. Therefore every college-bound student should complete it. The FAFSA is prepared annually by current and prospective college students to determine their eligibility for student financial aid. Student loans are designed to help students pay for post-secondary education. JBC participates only in the Federal Direct Student Loan program consisting of subsidized Stafford, unsubsidized Stafford, and parent (PLUS) loans. A full financial aid counseling session will assist students in determining their needs. All FAFSA filers are encouraged to use the IRS DRT (IRS Data Retrieval Tool). The IRS DRT tool allows students and parents to access the IRS tax return information needed to complete the FAFSA and transfer (import) the data directly into their FAFSA, saving lots of time.

    Bethel College

    Founded in 1947 by a group of Missionary Church visionaries, the goal was to create leaders for the world. In the seven decades that have passed since then, we have succeeded in that mission! While some things have changed on campus, we've continued to be intentional as we guide students along in their spiritual journey and path to academic success in some key ways: Our students' spiritual formation is about creating a holistic approach for each student's spiritual journey and personal discovery. That begins with being faithful to God and his word. Mentoring is a part of the Bethel community where students can connect with their peers, faculty, staff, and even alumni. At Bethel, students build lifelong relationships that will continue well past graduation. Academics in over 50 areas of study allow students to explore, grow, and prepare for their future careers. Each field of study is rich with knowledgeable professors seeking the success of our students. Every fall, students return to campus, ready to grow and ready to engage in experiences that will shape them for their future roles in the world. From undergraduate programs that train nurses to sign language interpreters to musicians to athletes, our students impact the world. Our students are offered many opportunities through task force trips, internships, and, finally, careers. We can offer more grad courses now than in the past through an expanded online program. Bethel offers graduate programs online, on-campus, and some as hybrids. We offer master's degrees in business administration (Online MBA), counseling (M.A. in Counseling Online), education (including Master's in Education Online, a school administrator license, Special Education Licensure Online, Transition to Teaching Licensure Program – On-campus (evening courses), Master of Reading and Literacy Online, Online Masters Degree in Educational Leadership), ministry (Master of Ministry Degree Online), Nursing (, Educator's track and Administrator track), Teaching, Theological Studies (Master of Ministry and Master of Arts in Theology). The experiences do not end when students leave campus. In our Bethel Community Stories section, we share stories about our alumni, as well as reports on current students, donors, faculty, staff, and friends whom we hope to provide inspiration and seeds of wisdom. We are a Christian community of learners dedicated to building lives of commitment to leadership in the Church and the world. Bethel provides liberating academic and co-curricular programs to challenge the mind, enlarge the vision, and equip the whole person for lifelong service. Our goal is to partner with our students and families to connect them with the resources they need to help their dreams become a reality. Your education at Bethel College is an investment in your future. We are confident that your time at Bethel will help you become the best version of yourself, with your future potential to become even more than you can imagine! Financial aid, grants, scholarships, loans – it can be overwhelming and confusing. While there are common steps for every institution for financial aid, there are also some unique requirements. Federal Aid – financial aid from the federal government, is available to help you pay for education expenses. Grants (Pell, TEACH, SEOG), loans (subsidized, unsubsidized, PLUS), and work-study are federal student aid types you must complete the FAFSA to apply for this aid. More information regarding federal aid can be found on their site. State Aid – Indiana residents may be eligible for grants from the state of Indiana to be applied to their direct tuition costs. These grants are need-based, and the FAFSA must be completed by April 15th to be considered for any applicable state grants. More information regarding state financial aid. Institutional Awards – Bethel College awards many types of institutional scholarships and grants to full-time undergraduate students. Awards may be based on merit or need and may be restricted to tuition costs only. Financial aid awards and policies are subject to change—review list of an expanded list of institutional awards and financial aid policies. Students can apply for an alternative loan to cover remaining educational expenses, but most will need a credit-worthy cosigner. Based on the federal government's criteria, students who receive federal financial aid may be selected for verification. This process is designed to verify the financial information provided on the FAFSA. A verification worksheet and federal tax information is required to complete the process. Additional information may also be requested. To be considered for all financial aid, information must be submitted within 30 days of the college's written request. In no instance will verification information be processed beyond the student's enrollment period. All federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships will post to your student account at the start of each semester, once all requirements have been met. Some grants or scholarships may have minimum enrollment, or housing requirements endowed scholarships often require a thank-you note from the recipient to be sent to the donor. Some federal programs require additional steps to be completed before funds being released, such as the direct loan and TEACH grant. From the original Oakwood-Slater Hall and Shupe Hall for underclassmen to the newer Logan Village for upper-level students, there's a rich history in our student dorms. In your home away from home, you'll build close friendships and always support our Student Life Staff. Bethel College's Spiritual Life is often referred to as the heartbeat of campus. Whether you are in the chapel, the classroom, or the dorm, you will find opportunities to grow spiritually. Three times a week, students and staff gather together for chapel. With student-led worship and a variety of speakers, this weekly practice allows the Bethel community to engage different perspectives and experiences. Our Spiritual Life team puts on events to engage the campus in spiritual practices and disciplines throughout the year. Read through the Bible in a weekend during Scripture 66, participate in prayer stations during the Collegiate Day of Prayer, or join the weekly alternative service, Vespers. Most significantly, though, Bethel College is a community of discipleship. There is a vibrant mentoring program on campus, and staff, faculty, and students all reap the benefits of these relationships. We hope you will take part in this essential piece of the Bethel experience.

LSE's mission charges the School with making a positive difference to the world by bringing research-based knowledge to public problems and educating students with the capacity to lead in solving those problems. Our ambition is to excel in every aspect of this mission. Through our teaching, our research, and our alumni's work, we will make an effort 'to know the causes of things' a force for good. Right now, amid rapid change in higher education, a crucial priority is to ensure that our students benefit from excellent teaching and rewarding educational experience. We are at work on this in all we do, from building a new state of the art classrooms to improving student support systems and ensuring excellence in teaching is rewarded. Outstanding education must be as central to LSE as brilliant research and exciting public engagement. The LSE's future depends on enhancing our quality, innovation, and intellectual distinctiveness as a leading institution for social science. At LSE, social science is central to education and research in public policy and law in management, accounting, and finance in international development and social policy. It is also the focus of pathbreaking research. To sustain this amid change and challenges, we pursue a strategy that builds on the School's core identity: the public mission and openness inaugurated by its founders, its remarkably global character, and its commitment to making knowledge matter in practical affairs. Our strategy guides action in a context we cannot completely control. We can see that new technologies matter, but it is not clear exactly how they will change higher education. We know that students need confidence that their education prepares them for future jobs, but careers are changing rapidly. To perform well amid these changes, we need to redouble our commitment to quality throughout the School. In the faculty, we recruit, in our research and teaching, to deliver essential services like IT, the Estate, the Library, job placement, and student life. We need to renew our commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. We also need to innovate, improve the rooms in which we teach, redesign courses, advance research methodology, develop new centers of excellence like the International Institute on Inequalities, or the Marshall Institute on Philanthropy and Social Entrepreneurship.

  15. Duke has always valued active and responsible engagement in civic life among its students and applicants. We will always consider all applicants fully and individually, and every part of the application, including disciplinary sanctions, in the unique context of the applicants themselves and the values of the institution we represent, which include civic and personal responsibility. An applicant's participation in peaceful protests has never been a reason for us to deny or rescind an admission offer. We guide our students to find their academic paths by helping them to reason, analyze, and understand in unprecedented ways. The undergraduate experience at Duke is characterized by a spirit of academic energy, exploration, and challenge. We are a research university with resources to connect undergraduate education to the processes of inquiry and discovery. Duke students explore ideas by collaborating directly with our exceptional faculty in a study that focuses on interdisciplinary exploration. A student's education doesn't end at the classroom door. We provide an incredible variety of opportunities for students to enhance and supplement in-class learning with hands-on experiences, service in the community—both locally and globally—and development of leadership skills. Duke University is recognized as one of the premier research institutions and routinely ranks at the top of all U.S universities in research expenditures. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research has overall responsibility for facilitating Duke's research enterprise and works to encourage and support the development, marketing, and application of Duke's intellectual property and our world-renowned researchers, student facilities. Duke University was created in 1924 by James Buchanan Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. The Dukes, a Durham family that built a worldwide financial empire in the manufacture of tobacco products and developed electricity production in the Carolinas, long had been interested in Trinity College. Trinity traced its roots to 1838 in nearby Randolph County when local Methodist and Quaker communities opened Union Institute. Then named Trinity College, the school moved to Durham in 1892, where Benjamin Newton Duke served as a primary benefactor and link with the Duke family until he died in 1929. In December 1924, the provisions of indenture by Benjamin's brother, James B. Duke, created the family philanthropic foundation, The Duke Endowment, which provided for the expansion of Trinity College into Duke University. As a result of the Duke gift, Trinity underwent both physical and academic expansion. The original Durham campus became known as East Campus when it was rebuilt in stately Georgian architecture. West Campus, Gothic in style and dominated by the soaring 210-foot tower of Duke Chapel, opened in 1930. East Campus served as the home of the Woman's College of Duke University until 1972 when the men's and women's undergraduate colleges merged. Both men and women undergraduates now enroll in either the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences or the Pratt School of Engineering. In 1995, East Campus became the home for all first-year students. Duke is a diverse community committed to the principles of excellence, fairness, and respect for all people. As part of this commitment, we actively value diversity in our workplace and learning environments as we seek to take advantage of everyone's rich backgrounds and abilities. We believe that when we understand, celebrate, and tap into our uniqueness to solve problems and address shared goals creatively, our possibilities are limitless. Our team of experts works with Duke leaders, managers, faculty, staff, and administrators to explore themes of diversity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace. Our training and workshops help learners leverage the power of diversity, effectively handle conflicts, and uphold university regulations and policies related to equal opportunity, harassment, and discrimination. Through our long-range planning and strategy services, we work collaboratively with Duke leaders to craft and implement well-defined roadmaps for achieving diversity and inclusion goals. As part of our ongoing effort to provide resources to the entire Duke community, including staff, faculty, and students across the university and health system, we have created the Diversity Toolkit, a multimedia collection of resources about diversity, inclusion, and belonging. This curated and frequently updated list of books, articles, videos, and websites helps higher education and healthcare professionals remain current on innovative strategies and ways of knowing, to enhance equity and high performance within the educational, healthcare, and work environments of Duke. The William R. Perkins Library, Bostock Library, and Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library comprise the main West Campus library complex, which is joined by Lilly and Music libraries on East Campus, the Pearse Memorial Library at the Duke Marine Lab, and the separately administered libraries serving the schools of Business, Divinity, Law, and Medicine. Together they form one of the nation's top ten private university library systems. We seek to anticipate our library users' needs and provide convenient access to a broad range of digital information without losing sight of our most basic commitment to the preservation of scholarship in print form. We value the diversity of thought, perspective, experience, and background. Moreover, we strive to provide an inclusive, safe, and welcoming environment with equitable support for all people.
  16. MIT's mission is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the twenty-first century. We seek to develop in each member of the MIT community the ability and passion for working wisely, creatively, and virtually for humankind's betterment. Since its incorporation in 1861, MIT has created a place for students, faculty members, researchers, and scientists to advance our understanding of the world through world-class scholarship and leadership that continue to serve the nation and the world. Since its incorporation in 1861, MIT has upheld its abiding commitment to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and related areas of scholarship. Teaching and research—with relevance to the practical world as a guiding principle—continue to be the Institute's primary purpose as it serves the nation and the world. MIT maintains a commitment to serving both the local community and the world through education and technology. From the broad range of community services that draw support from students, faculty, and staff, to the far-reaching educational activities of OpenCourseWare, MITx, and edX, MIT continues to make the wonders of technology discovery relevant to people near and far. The soul of MIT is research. For more than 150 years, the Institute has brought together teaching, engineering, and scientific studies to produce a series of advancements. Many of these advancements are world-changing and occupy all corners of science and technology, from advanced engineering to the study of genetics and the arts. MIT has created a culture of inclusion that supports and learns from the diverse skills and perspectives in its community. The Institute supports student growth by providing opportunities to bond, expand, and grow and step outside a given worldview to appreciate diverse life experiences. Engagement in those perspectives leads to a greater understanding of the world and our place in it. A new program called The Standard is working to advance the academic, personal, and professional success of men of color at MIT. Students join in their first year and are paired with upper-level students who serve as peer mentors. Also, members attend outings, guest lectures, and workshops on various topics, including professional development, life skills, self-care, and financial literacy. In Designing the First Year at MIT, a new class offered this spring; students were tasked with solving the ultimate problem set: making the first year at MIT better. Working in teams, students tackled pain points they identified in academics, activities, and advising and proposed innovative ways to improve those areas. Several ideas from the class are already being considered for implementation. MIT has a long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion, such as its dedicated efforts to support, mentor, and recruit the leaders of tomorrow. Through the Institute Community and Equity Office (ICEO), MIT has championed efforts to enhance the student experience. The mission of the ICEO is to advance a respectful and caring community that embraces diversity and empowers everyone to learn and do their best at MIT. In this mission's spirit, the Office of Graduate Education (OGE) has taken a proactive lead in creating and fostering diversity initiative programs. Through our recruiting efforts, the OGE can reach out and engage with prospective graduate students from across the United States, which then allows us to highlight all that MIT has to offer. We have also crafted dedicated summer research programs and open house visits to bring talented individuals to the MIT campus. The MSRP mission seeks to promote the value of graduate education, to improve the research enterprise through increased diversity, and to prepare and recruit the best and brightest students for graduate education at MIT. This nine-week, fully funded summer program brings together a talented pool of underrepresented minorities and underserved students to engage in on-campus research led by dedicated MIT faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. It is an invaluable experience for any student considering further graduate education. The CONVERGE preview weekend provides an opportunity for prospective applicants to learn about the graduate admissions process and to hear about many of the programs MIT has to offer. The preview weekend is targeted toward underrepresented minorities interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in the future. Graduate students at MIT are entering a tight housing market, looking for accommodations on campus or in the surrounding Boston-Cambridge area. Many new students, single and married, find apartments off-campus, both nearby and in the outer suburbs, where there are greater variety and availability. MIT is committed to working with students to create a healthy and vibrant campus community. One aspect of this is confronting the critical topics of sexual assault, harassment, and relationship violence. As a part of this ongoing effort, MIT has partnered with EverFi to offer Haven Plus: an online, research-based program that provides a learning experience regarding critical prevention skills and strategies.
  17. Stanford University was founded in 1885 by California senator Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane, "to promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on behalf of humanity and civilization." Comprising more than 25 offices and centers, Student Affairs provides a broad range of services and support to Stanford students, including leadership development, residential programs, public service, career exploration, and community engagement. Nearly all undergraduates and more than 60% of graduate students reside in 81 diverse campus housing facilities. Eight dining halls, a teaching kitchen, and organic gardens provide the campus community with healthy, sustainable meals. Stanford Undergrad is your guide to undergraduate academics and opportunities run by the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. Approximately 7,000 undergraduate students attend Stanford. Learn more about the undergraduate program and the student body. When railroad magnate and former California Gov. Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, lost their only child, Leland, Jr., to typhoid in 1884, they decided to build a university as the most fitting memorial. They deeded a large fortune that included the 8,180-acre Palo Alto stock farm that became the campus. They made their plans just as the modern research university was taking form. Leland Stanford Junior University – still its legal name – opened Oct. 1, 1891. The Stanfords and founding President David Starr Jordan aimed for their new university to be nonsectarian, co-educational, and affordable, produce cultured and useful graduates, and teach both the traditional liberal arts and technology and engineering that were already changing America. Their vision took shape on the San Francisco Peninsula's oak-dotted fields as a matrix of arcades and quadrangles designed for expansion and the dissolving of barriers between people, disciplines, and ideas. In 1985, B. Gerald Cantor Rodin Sculpture Garden opened as the most extensive collection of Rodin bronzes outside Paris. It became the nexus for a world-class collection of 20th- and 21st-century sculpture, nearly all of it freely accessible to the public. Today, the museum and sculpture garden is part of a Stanford arts district that includes the Bing Concert Hall, the McMurtry Building for experiential arts learning, and the acclaimed Anderson Collection of 20th-century American painting. The James H. Clark Center for Biomedical Engineering and Sciences opened in 2003 as the geographic and intellectual nexus between the schools of Engineering and Medicine and the home of Bio-X, a pioneering interdisciplinary biosciences institute led by Professor Carla Shatz. Its collaboration-friendly architecture set the tone for future building, furthering the interdisciplinarity that became a hallmark of university President John Hennessy's tenure. The environmentally sensitive construction seen in the Clark Center, the Science and Engineering Quad, the School of Medicine, and elsewhere fulfills the university's deep commitment to sustainability in research, teaching, and institutional practice. In 2015, Stanford Energy System Innovations' electric heat recovery system joined the university's solar and geothermal power procurement initiatives to reduce campus emissions by roughly 68 percent. The Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford opened in the School of Engineering in 2005, bringing students and faculty from radically different backgrounds to develop innovative, human-centered solutions to real-world challenges. Using techniques from design and engineering, the institute, known on campus as the d.school, instills creative confidence and draws students beyond traditional academic disciplines' boundaries. Development campaigns of unprecedented scope carry forward the Stanford family's vision. The 2000 Campaign for Undergraduate Education raised $1 billion, while the Stanford Challenge concluded in 2012 after raising $6.2 billion, then the most massive fundraising campaign was undertaken by a university to fund bold new initiatives. Meanwhile, the $1 billion Campaign for Stanford Medicine is rebuilding Stanford's two hospitals for adults and children to advance the mission of precision health. In 2016, Stanford celebrated its 125th year of transformational impact. A revamped Roble Gym opened with a dedicated "art gym" to help make art an integral part of the student experience, while "Old Chem," one of Stanford's first buildings, received new life as the Sapp Center for Science Teaching and Learning. Stanford also launched a new Humanities Core, an integrated program of courses and seminars giving undergraduates a structured, guided pathway into human existence's fundamental questions. Stanford has expanded its Bing Overseas Studies Program, enhanced undergraduate research opportunities, and played a pioneering role in exploring how best to use online technologies to expand access to high-quality education. Today, Stanford University comprises seven schools and 18 interdisciplinary institutes with more than 16,000 students, 2,100 faculty, and 1,800 postdoctoral scholars.

  20. Columbia University is one of the world's most important research centers and, at the same time, a distinctive and distinguished learning environment for undergraduates and graduate students in many scholarly and professional fields. The University recognizes the importance of its location in New York City and seeks to link its research and teaching to a great metropolis's vast resources. It seeks to attract a diverse and international faculty and student body, support research, teach on global issues and create academic relationships with many countries and regions. It expects all areas of the University to advance knowledge and learning at the highest level and to convey the products of its efforts to the world. For more than 250 years, Columbia has been a leader in higher education globally and around the world. At the core of our wide range of academic inquiry are the commitment to attract and engage the best minds to pursue greater human understanding, pioneering discoveries, and service to society. The University offers an outstanding and comprehensive array of academic programs. These include three undergraduate schools, thirteen graduate and professional schools, a world-renowned medical center, four affiliated colleges and seminaries, twenty-five libraries, and more than one hundred research centers and institutes. Columbia University was founded in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of King George II of England. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in New York and the fifth oldest in the United States. Controversy preceded the founding of the College, with various groups competing to determine its location and religious affiliation. Advocates of New York City met with success on the first point, while the Anglicans prevailed on the latter. However, all constituencies agreed to commit themselves to principles of religious liberty in establishing the policies of the College. In July 1754, Samuel Johnson held the first classes in a new schoolhouse adjoining Trinity Church, located on lower Broadway in Manhattan. There were eight students in the class. At King's College, the future leaders of colonial society could receive an education designed to "enlarge the Mind, improve the Understanding, polish the whole Man, and qualify them to support the brightest Characters in all the elevated stations in life." One early manifestation of the institution's lofty goals was the establishment in 1767 of the first American medical school to grant the M.D. degree. The American Revolution brought the growth of the College to a halt, forcing a suspension of instruction in 1776 that lasted for eight years. However, the institution continued to influence American life through the people associated with it significantly. Among the earliest students and trustees of King's College were John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States, Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury Gouverneur Morris, the author of the final draft of the U.S. Constitution, and Robert R. Livingston, a member of the five-person committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence. The College reopened in 1784 with a new name—Columbia—that embodied the patriotic fervor that had inspired the nation's quest for independence. The revitalized institution was recognizable as the descendant of its colonial ancestor, thanks to its inclination toward Anglicanism and an urban population's needs. However, there were significant differences: Columbia College reflected the legacy of the Revolution in the greater economic, denominational, and geographic diversity of its new students and leaders. Cloistered campus life gave way to the more common phenomenon of day students who lived at home or lodged in the city. In 1857, the College moved from Park Place, near the present city hall, to Forty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, where it remained for the next forty years. During the last half of the nineteenth century, Columbia rapidly assumed the shape of a modern university. The Columbia School of Law was founded in 1858. The country's first mining school, a precursor of today's Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, was established in 1864 and awarded the first Columbia Ph.D. in 1875. When Seth Low became Columbia's president in 1890, he vigorously promoted the university ideal for the College, placing the fragmented federation of independent and competing schools under a central administration that stressed cooperation and shared resources. Barnard College for women had become affiliated with Columbia in 1889. The medical school came under the University's aegis in 1891, followed by Teachers College in 1893. The development of graduate faculties in political science, philosophy, and pure science established Columbia as one of the nation's earliest graduate education centers. In 1896, the trustees officially authorized the use of yet another new name, Columbia University, and today the institution is officially known as Columbia University in the City of New York. Low's most significant accomplishment, however, was moving the University from Forty-ninth Street to the more spacious Morningside Heights campus, designed as an urban academic village by McKim, Mead, and White, the renowned turn-of-the-century architectural firm. Architect Charles Follen McKim provided Columbia with stately buildings patterned after those of the Italian Renaissance. The University continued to prosper after its move uptown in 1897. During the presidency of Nicholas Murray Butler (1902–1945), Columbia emerged as a preeminent national center for educational innovation and scholarly achievement. The School of Journalism was established by a bequest of Joseph Pulitzer in 1912. John Erskine taught the first Great Books Honors Seminar at Columbia College in 1919, making the study of original masterworks the foundation of undergraduate education. In the same year, a course on war and peace studies originated the College's influential Core Curriculum. In the words of College alumnus Herman Wouk, Columbia became a place of "doubled magic," where "the best things of the moment were outside the rectangle of Columbia the best things of all human history and thought were inside the rectangle." The study of the sciences flourished along with the liberal arts. Franz Boas founded the modern science of anthropology here in the early decades of the twentieth century, even as Thomas Hunt Morgan set modern genetics. In 1928, Columbia–Presbyterian Medical Center, the first such center to combine teaching, research, and patient care, was officially opened as a joint project between the medical school and The Presbyterian Hospital. By the late 1930s, a Columbia student could study with Jacques Barzun, Paul Lazarsfeld, Mark Van Doren, Lionel Trilling, and I. I. Rabi, to name just a few of the great minds of the Morningside campus. The University's graduates during this time were equally accomplished—for example, two alumni of Columbia's School of Law, Charles Evans Hughes and Harlan Fiske Stone (who was also dean of the School of Law), served successively as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Research into the atom by faculty members I. I. Rabi, Enrico Fermi, and Polykarp Kusch brought Columbia's Department of Physics to international prominence in the 1940s. The founding of the School of International Affairs (now the School of International and Public Affairs) in 1946 marked the beginning of intensive growth in international relations as a primary scholarly focus of the University. The oral-history movement in the United States was launched at Columbia in 1948. Columbia celebrated its bicentennial in 1954 during a period of steady expansion. This growth mandated a major campus building program in the 1960s, and, by the end of the decade, five of the University's schools were housed in new buildings. It was also in the 1960s that Columbia experienced the most significant crisis in its history. Currents of unrest sweeping the country—among them opposition to the Vietnam War, an increasingly militant civil rights movement, and the ongoing decline of America's inner cities—converged with particular force at Columbia, casting the Morningside campus into the national spotlight. More than 1,000 protesting students occupied five buildings in the last week of April 1968, effectively shutting down the University until the New York City police forcibly removed them. Those events led directly to the cancellation of a proposed gym in Morningside Park, the cessation of specific classified research projects on campus, the retirement of President Grayson Kirk, and a downturn in the University's finances and morale. They also led to the creation of the University Senate, in which faculty, students, and alumni acquired a larger voice in University affairs. In recent decades, Columbia's campuses have seen a revival of spirit and energy that has been truly momentous. Under the leadership of President Michael Sovern, the 1980s saw the completion of significant new facilities, and the pace intensified after George Rupp became president in 1993. A 650-million-dollar building program begun in 1994 provided the impetus for a wide range of projects, including the complete renovation of Furnald Hall and athletics facilities on campus and at Baker Field, the wiring of the campus for Internet and wireless access, the rebuilding of Dodge Hall for the School of the Arts, the construction of new facilities for the Schools of Law and Business, the renovation of Butler Library, and the creation of the Philip L. Milstein Family College Library. The University also continued to develop the Audubon Biotechnology and Research Park, securing Columbia's place at the forefront of medical research. As New York City's only university-related research park, it also contributes to economic growth through the creation of private-sector research collaborations and the generation of new biomedically related business.
