NYU’s summer school began in 1895, when seven members of the
faculty, with the approval of the Chancellor, offered courses in
mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, experimental
psychology, and the theory and practice of teaching. The faculty
members received no additional salary, only the tuition fees
collected from students. The University Council officially took
control in 1899 and the popularity of the program quickly grew
to over 500 students, both men and women, by 1907. The program
mostly attracted teachers who were interested in pedagogical
courses. |< Previous||Next >|
