Cornell in Washington Program
If you want to combine the strengths of Cornell with all of the best parts of living and learning in Washington, DC, consider the Cornell in Washington program. Students take courses in the fall, spring, or summer for credit, work as externs, and complete substantial research projects while enjoying the rich opportunities available in the nation’s capital. For information, visit the Cornell in Washington website, e-mail cwash@cornell.edu, call (607) 255-4090, or write to Cornell in Washington, 300 Kennedy Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853.
Independent Study
Have a special interest you’d like to pursue? Want to do research and get credit for it? Need a particular course to graduate on time? Consider independent study.
Independent study encompasses courses of your own design, special topics courses, undergraduate research, or any regular course from the fall and spring semesters not being offered. If you can find a professor willing to supervise your study, all you need to do is pick up the application for independent study from the SCE office or download it from our website and register in B20 Day Hall at least two weeks prior to beginning the independent study course. Also, please let the School know if there are courses you would like to see offered next summer or winter. For information, e-mail cusce@cornell.edu or call (607) 255-4987.
Online Learning
Students: Need a flexible schedule? Planning to travel or work during the winter break or summer months? Don’t let that stop you from taking a class, earning credits, or learning something new. Online courses feature web-based components and/or related materials. You’ll interact with the instructor and other students by e-mail and/or discussion boards. Most assignments and examinations are completed within a scheduled time frame, just as in on-campus courses, but you’ll have the option of getting a head start on readings and lectures. For information, visit sce.cornell.edu/online, e-mail cusce@cornell.edu, call (607) 255-4987, or write to Online Learning, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853.
Faculty: If you are a faculty member interested in developing credit or noncredit online courses, the School offers a broad range of services, including determining technological needs, resolving copyright issues, creating a marketing plan, and fulfilling administrative duties related to your course. Visit sce.cornell.edu to see what’s possible.
Part-Time Study
If your studies are interrupted for any reason, you may find it useful to take classes on a part-time basis. The School also offers part-time study to staff and faculty members, area residents, and anyone interested in taking courses at the University, improving their job skills, continuing their education, or simply having fun learning something new.
Thanks to the Part-Time Study Program, almost anyone may enroll in almost any course at Cornell during the fall and spring semesters if space is available. Part-time study at Cornell is a great opportunity to take fascinating courses and study with world-renowned faculty members. If you’d like to take advantage of Cornell’s extensive course offerings but don’t need college credit, you may register through the Visitors Program and receive a 90 percent discount on tuition.
