Home > Gallatin School of Individualized Study
The Gallatin School of Individualized Study (generally known, simply, as Gallatin) is a small college within New York University. Founded in 1972, it is named after Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury under Thomas Jefferson, and a founding father of NYU. Gallatin believed that the place for a university was not in "the seclusion of cloistered halls but in the throbbing heart of a great city." It was in this spirit that Gallatin was founded. Gallatin students benefit from the school's "small college" feel, as well as its location within the largest private university in the United States. Students are expected to design their own interdisciplinary program that meets their specific interests and career goals. Coursework can be undertaken at any of the schools that comprise NYU.
