TheGallatin School of Individualized Study is aliberal arts school withinNew York University. Students at Gallatin design an interdisciplinary concentration based on their specific interests and career goals. Most courses can be taken at any of the schools within New York University, in addition to Gallatin's course offerings.[4]
The school was founded in 1972 as theUniversity Without Walls. In 1976, the school was renamed theGallatin Division forAlbert Gallatin (secretary of the treasury underThomas Jefferson and the founder of New York University). In 1995 the school took the name,Gallatin School of Individualized Study.[5]
Herbert London was the school's first dean through 1992. The Gallatin building is situated within thecampus of New York University just east ofWashington Square Park, at 1 Washington Place inManhattan, New York City.
The Gallatin School's facilities on the corner of Washington Place andBroadway underwent a redesign in 2007–2008. It was the first renovation project at New York University to achieveLEED certification. The project earned a LEED Gold certification for renovating five floors (approximately 32,000 square feet) of the existing building, including the construction of a theater, art gallery, classrooms, studios, and offices.[6] The main building is named after Georgina Bloomberg.
Gallatin students develop a concentration, as opposed to amajor, that is individualized to suit their interests and goals. A concentration can encompass multiple areas of study and often involves taking courses in various schools within New York University. There are, however, general requirements for graduation. These start with foundation courses (a first year writing seminar, a first year research seminar, and multiple interdisciplinary seminars) and end with an intensive oral discourse called the "colloquium" which is held during a student's final semester.[7]
