Academics
Cornell University is one the world’s leading academic and research institutions and has the broadest range of programs in the Ivy League.
Some have called Cornell the “first American university”. At its founding, the University opened its doors to all and combined a traditional emphasis on classics and humanistic disciplines with an equal emphasis on the theoretical and applied sciences.
This breadth of study with strong fields in each of the disciplinary areas is one of the Graduate School’s traditional strengths. In the recent NRC report, Cornell had more fields ranked than any other private institution.
