為甚麼舊文被替換Why the old article was replaced2022 年版本引用了第三方文章和外部圖片。本版本不複製那些內容，改由 ASIDU 依 Cooper Union 官方資料重新撰寫。The 2022 version reproduced third-party writing and externally hosted images. This version does not reuse that material; ASIDU rewrote it from Cooper Union's official sources.

Cooper Union 於 1859 年由 Peter Cooper 創立，位於紐約，提供藝術、建築與工程教育，並設有人文與社會科學課程。它的吸引力不只來自校史，而是高度集中的學科環境、作品與技術要求，以及與紐約城市生活緊密相連的學習方式。Founded by Peter Cooper in 1859, Cooper Union is based in New York and offers education in art, architecture and engineering alongside humanities and social sciences. Its appeal is not only historical; it lies in a concentrated disciplinary environment, demanding creative or technical work and a learning experience closely connected to the city.

先分清三所學院Begin with the three schools

  • School of Art：先研究作品要求、工作方式與是否適合高度自主的創作環境。School of Art: examine portfolio expectations, working methods and fit with an independent creative environment.
  • Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture：確認學位長度、作品要求及建築專業路線。Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture: verify programme length, portfolio requirements and the professional route.
  • Albert Nerken School of Engineering：比較具體工程科目、數學科學準備與項目機會。Albert Nerken School of Engineering: compare the specific field, mathematics and science preparation, and project opportunities.

「半額獎學金」不等於免費A half-tuition scholarship does not mean free attendance

Cooper Union 公布的 2026–27 本科學費為每年 44,550 美元；每名獲取錄本科生獲半額學費獎學金，當年價值 22,275 美元。這仍未包括註冊費、住宿、膳食、書本、交通、健康保險及國際生費用。數字會更新，必須以錄取年份的官方 cost of attendance 為準。Cooper Union lists 2026–27 undergraduate tuition at USD 44,550. Every admitted undergraduate receives a half-tuition scholarship valued at USD 22,275 for that year. This does not include registration, housing, food, books, transport, health insurance or international-student charges. Figures change, so use the official cost of attendance for the year of entry.

高中生建築暑期課程仍有現行版本The high-school architecture summer programme has a current edition

Cooper Union 官方頁目前列出 2026 年高中生 Introduction to Architecture 暑期課程；日期、年齡／年級、作品要求、費用、住宿和國際學生安排均應直接以該年度官方頁為準。由於過往的合作與推廣說法沒有重新證明，ASIDU 只提供中立的課程核對入口。Cooper Union currently lists a 2026 high-school Introduction to Architecture summer programme. Dates, age or grade, portfolio expectations, fees, housing and international-student arrangements must be checked on the official page for that year. Because past partnership and promotional claims have not been re-established, ASIDU provides only a neutral verification route.

適合度比傳奇更重要Fit matters more than legend

  • 作品、學術與技術準備是否符合目標學院的要求？Does your portfolio, academic or technical preparation match the school?
  • 你是否願意在高度密集、城市型和專業導向的環境學習？Do you want an intensive, urban and professionally oriented environment?
  • 扣除獎助後的完整成本是否在家庭承受範圍內？Is the full cost after aid within the family ceiling?
  • 你是否有能展示過程、判斷和持續投入的申請證據？Can your application show process, judgement and sustained commitment?

下一步Next step

先選擇目標學院，打開該學院最新申請要求，再建立作品／課程準備、截止日、推薦與財務四條時間線。不要先由傳奇校史或單一獎學金數字作決定。Choose the target school, open its latest application requirements and build four timelines: portfolio or coursework, deadlines, references and finance. Do not make the decision from institutional legend or one scholarship figure.
