AEM at CALS

<p>Are the courses in AEM geared merely toward agriculture? I know it's in the college of agriculture, but if I am not interested in agriculture, should I just totally not consider Cornell for business?</p>

<p>angelolee69: Students are ENCOURAGED to take courses in agriculture, but no, AEM does not have core curriculum built on agriculture. Don't worry.</p>

<p>Alright. I'm thinking of applying, but I'm not too interested in agriculture. I don't know if they would accept me though because they might not think I'm a fit for CALS since I'm not into agriculture.</p>

<p>wow you really dont research the schools your applying too.</p>

<p>hmm interesting comment. I do research the schools I apply to that's why I know that the business program in Cornell is in the school of agriculture. But I'm just saying that I want to apply to Cornell for business but I'm not into agriculture. That does not have anything to do with researching anything. It's like asking whether I can apply to MIT Sloan without an interest in Physics. I'm really good at math but just not into physics. I know MIT wants people who are inclined to physics and but I just want to know if I have a chance. So stop being mean.</p>

<p>CALS looks for students who show an interest in agriculture and/or the life sciences. CALS graduation requirements are heavily laden with science, math and humanities. They look for students whose educational experience will truly be enriched by the CALS curriculum.</p>

<p>So yes...AEM is focused on business...but be sure to demonstrate why you will benefit from the CALS curriculum.</p>
