New York University is a private research university centred on Greenwich Village in Manhattan. The New York State Legislature chartered it in 1831 and it opened for classes in 1832 under Albert Gallatin, a former United States treasury secretary who wanted a secular, merit-based education for the city's young men. It grew into one of the largest private universities in the country by enrollment and now runs undergraduate colleges, professional schools in law, medicine, nursing and business, and the NYU Langone Health System. Its science-facing units include the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the Center for Neural Science and the Center for Data Science, and it operates degree-granting campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. The American Chemical Society was founded at NYU in 1876, and the article counts 39 Nobel laureates among past and present faculty and alumni.
