Princeton University is a private research university located in
Princeton, New Jersey, United States. It is one of the eight
universities of the Ivy League, and one of the nine Colonial Colleges
founded before the American Revolution. Princeton provides undergraduate
and graduate instruction in the humanities, social sciences, natural
sciences, and engineering. Princeton does not have schools of medicine,
law, divinity, or business, but it does offer professional degrees
through the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs,
the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the School of
Architecture. Founded in 1746 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, as the College
of New Jersey, the university moved to Newark in 1747, then to Princeton
in 1756 and was renamed Princeton University in 1896. (The present-day
College of New Jersey in nearby Ewing, New Jersey, is an unrelated
institution.) (form Wikipedia). |
