In addition, we encourage you to explore the hundreds of courses offered throughout the College of Engineering and cross-disciplinary opportunities all across campus. In Cornell’s highly collaborative culture, you will have access to the world-class faculty and research facilities in multiple areas. Adding business skills to your engineering base is as easy as walking across the street to the Johnson School, one of the nation’s most renowned graduate schools of management. Pursuing specialized knowledge in life sciences may take you to the new nearby Weill Hall, across campus, or around the world. The opportunities are nearly endless.

“I chose Cornell because it offers the area of which I am interested in. I also like the fact that faculty is very supportive, willing to talk and helping students. The other plus side to Cornell is its diversity outside engineering; even though I am a Ph. D student in electrical engineering, I still have the chance to interact with many people from other disciplines to broaden my view and perspective on various issues.”
