Conceived by 1800 and established in 1819, it is the only university in the United States to be designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The University is one of the eight original Public Ivies. The University is notable in U.S. history for being the first educational institution to offer academic programs in disciplines now common, such as astronomy and philosophy. Its School of Engineering and Applied Science was the first engineering school in the United States to be part of a comprehensive university. Nearly 200 years after its founding, the University is at the forefront of important cross-disciplinary work being done by faculty and students across its 12 notable schools. That work draws on the considerable resources and innovative thinking of this tier-one research institution, which is also the nation’s #2 public university.The establishment of a pan-university Brain Institute that will address important challenges on the frontiers of understanding, treating, and reverse-engineering the brain. The Institute will draw on expertise from over 80 faculty in at least four Schools and the Data Science Institute, and will leverage cluster faculty hires in neurosciences, biomedical data sciences, traumatic brain injury, and autism.  - Connect with The University of Virginia on Univariety today.
