academic goals in more than 100 departments. The College of
Arts and Sciences, one of the smallest liberal arts schools
in the Ivy League, offers more than 40 majors, most
ranked near the top nationally. Applied programs in the other
six colleges also rank among the best in the world.
Other special features of the university include a world-renowned
faculty; 4,000 courses available to all students; an extensive undergraduate
research program; superb research, teaching, and library facilities; a large,
diverse study abroad program; more than 600 student organizations and

Cornell’s campus is one of the
most beautiful in the country, and students pass streams, rocky
gorges, and waterfalls on their way to class. First-year students
make their home on North Campus, a living-learning community that
features a special advising center, faculty-in-residence, a fitness center, and
traditional residence halls as well as theme-centered buildings such as
Ecology House.
Cornell University invites applications from all interested
students and uses the Common Application exclusively with a short
required Cornell Supplement.
