The links on this site should guide you to the information you need whether you are:
- a member of the Cornell community looking for information on campus-based international programs
- an international student seeking information on study at Cornell
- a researcher interested in one of Cornell’s international centers or its international research collaborations
- a visitor to the site curious about the scope of Cornell’s international activities
As a university comprising 14 schools and colleges, including a medical school in Doha, Qatar, and with a combined population of more than 2,600 faculty members and more than 20,000 students, Cornell’s international endeavors range from plant prospecting in the Amazon rain forest to design work at the South Pole.
Each year, more than 500 Cornell students study abroad. And more than 3,000 students from abroad enroll at Cornell. Faculty research takes place in virtually every corner of the earth.
The number and variety of international activities can seem overwhelming. This international gateway was designed to give you an organized way to access all things international at Cornell—courses of study, career planning, research collaborations, outreach, student life, and more.
We encourage you to browse the site, to see for yourself the extraordinary breadth of Cornell’s international involvement.
