With science and technology a strategic priority for NYU, new school will build on areas of renowned strength and further accelerate the university’s meteoric rise in research and Innovation
NYU Trustees Chair Evan R. Chesler, President Linda G. Mills, Provost Georgina Dopico, and Juan de Pablo—the Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Executive Vice President for Global Science and Technology and executive dean of the Tandon School of Engineering—today announced the creation of the Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science. The new school will build upon NYU’s preeminence in mathematics, applied mathematics, data science, computer science, and engineering to further strengthen the university’s leadership at the frontiers of these disciplines; to prepare students more broadly for careers in computational fields; to contribute to the growth of the tech sector in New York and across the United States; and to accelerate NYU’s continued rise as a national leader in engineering and scientific research and innovation.
