LET CURIOSITY BE YOUR GUIDE.

Live, study and grow at the nexus of discovery and impact.


'I DEVELOPED A SENSE OF INTRINSIC MOTIVATION, ACCOUNTABILITY AND MATURITY'

Extraordinary Journeys 5/15/2023


A HOME FOR EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY

Our research activities and academic programs are remarkably broad, but they
share one characteristic: all are curiosity-driven. Exploring the unknown is
central to our mission to be the nexus of discovery and impact.

A&S ACADEMIC DIVERSITY


UNCOMMON ACADEMIC DIVERSITY ABOUNDS HERE

The innovative undergraduate curriculum at A&S has distribution
requirements that range from global citizenship to physical sciences to ethics
and the mind. Classes build upon each other and cross the boundaries
of traditional academic fields. Extensive work occurs outside of your major and
minors, and there are no required core courses. Work closely with inspiring
faculty to develop the hallmark skills of a liberal arts and sciences education
– the ability to read critically, write persuasively and think broadly.

BEYOND MAJORS & MINORS

The pinnacle of the liberal arts experience


ROBERT S. HARRISON COLLEGE SCHOLAR PROGRAM

Students design their own interdisciplinary major, organized around a question
or issue of interest, and pursue a course of study that cannot be found in an
established major. Harrison College Scholars explore subjects with a broader
integration of related disciplines than most students would attempt.

More details about the College Scholar Program

A deep dive into the humanities


HUMANITIES SCHOLARS PROGRAM

This new program offers a signature learning, research and collaboration
opportunity for undergraduate students across the university who are interested
in the humanities.

Shaping the future


MILSTEIN PROGRAM

Students in the Milstein Program in Technology & Humanity combine Cornell’s
renowned liberal arts and sciences classes in Ithaca with the 21st century tech
curriculum at Cornell Tech in NYC.

Funding your summer experience


SUMMER EXPERIENCE GRANTS

Summer opportunities are crucial to student career success, but these
life-changing experiences frequently offer little to no funding. That’s a
critical barrier for many of our students – and one that the College of Arts and
Sciences feels is vital to overcome.

The Summer Experiences Grants (SEG) do just that. They support students with
living expenses, transportation, and travel so that these essential experiences
are available to all of our students, who may otherwise not be able to afford
them.

Discover life-changing summer experiences 


RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP


RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP AND CREATIVE WORKS TO UNDERSTAND HUMANITY AND THE COSMOS

Curiosity is the driver for research in A&S. From the dendrochronology lab where
archaeologists analyze tree-ring growth to understand climate change to the
linguistics department where students created a new language for a Captain
Marvel movie, our students and faculty take full advantage of all that our
world-class research university encompasses.

With opportunities spanning the natural sciences, social sciences and
humanities, research here takes place in laboratories, museums, field sites,
libraries, hospitals, greenhouses, performance spaces and archives.

Explore our research, scholarship and creative works

Premier postdocs


KLARMAN FELLOWSHIPS

This premier postdoctoral fellowship program offers opportunities for
early-career scholars of outstanding talent, initiative and promise to devote
themselves to frontline, innovative research without being tied to specific
outcomes.

Learn more about the Klarman Fellowships.

High-impact seed funding


NEW FRONTIER GRANTS

Now in its third year, New Frontier Grants enable faculty members to pursue
novel, bold ideas in research with potential for transformative advances in the
arts and humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.

Learn more about the New Frontier Grants

Undergraduate research opportunities


NEXUS SCHOLARS PROGRAM

The Nexus Scholars Program in the College of Arts & Sciences provides
undergraduate students with summer opportunities to work side by side with
faculty from all across the college (humanities, social sciences, and STEM) on
their research projects.

ARTS UNPLUGGED SERIES

The College of Arts & Sciences’ Arts Unplugged series brings research and
creative works into the public sphere for discussion and inspiration. These
outreach events invite a broad audience to explore the work of scholars and
faculty from all disciplines, all backgrounds and all time periods and to
celebrate the impact that work continues to have on our daily lives.

DISTINGUISHED VISITING JOURNALIST PROGRAM

The College of Arts & Sciences' new Distinguished Visiting Journalist Program
brings accomplished journalists to Cornell for extended visits. The program aims
to recognize excellence in journalism and to provide opportunities for select
journalists and the university community to engage with each other.
