The College of Arts & Sciences is the heart of Cornell University.

The top 3 reasons students choose Arts & Sciences

  1. Breadth of academic programs
  2. Career prospects
  3. Research opportunities

As Cornell University's largest college, Arts & Sciences offers you access to an uncommonly diverse range of educational and research opportunities. In A&S you will have two years to explore a wide variety of disciplines and topics before making the important choice of selecting a major. Choose from more than 2,000 classes in A&S, with faculty who are committed to teaching in the most engaging ways, plus have access to another 2,000 classes from across Cornell.

You will have the ability to take part in special academic opportunities, as well as join in a research lab to dive deeply into a topic of your choice, working side by side with faculty and graduate students.

And know that when it's time for you to leave Cornell, you'll be well-prepared for the next step, whether that be graduate school, an advanced professional degree or a challenging and rewarding career.
