<p>I am confused with the course selections in Cornell..... If a student wants to go to med school and has to do all the pre-med courses to do so, can a student also take a Hotel class as well as taking pre-med?? Or is it just one or the other.....</p>
<p>as a student at Cornell University, you can take any of the 4000+ courses, provided you meet the prerequisites. In otherwords, the engineer can take a wine class in hotel, and the English major in CAS can take a class in tractor driving in CALS.</p>
<p>Lol...do they have a tractor driving class? It'd be pretty sweet if they did...</p>
<p>What do you do in Hotel classes...?</p>
<p>If what you are saying is true, I can do Hotel and Engineering at same time? So 2 majors?</p>
<p>towerpumpkin: yes they did have a tractor driving class like 20 years ago, i don't see why they wouldn't anymore.</p>
<p>intotherain: uh whoa back up now, you said classes from other colleges, not dual-enrollment. I'm not sure about that, but i've heard the word used so perhaps it's possible. You can definitely double major within a college. For example, an English and Chemistry major within CAS. I'm not sure about in two colleges, but now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like a problem. Call or email admissions and ask them.</p>
<p>Hotel classes teach you about the hospitality industry. Everything from restaurants to resorts to real estate. Look in the course catalog to check it out.</p>

<p>Highlights:</p>
<p>The College of Arts and Sciences is a community of about 4,000 undergraduates and 600 faculty members. It is also a graduate school and research center. Altogether it attracts faculty whose research and scholarly and creative work require first-rate academic facilities and who bring to all their students the profound questioning and exciting ideas of current scholarship. Finally, the college exists within a university of other colleges at Cornell--about 19,000 undergraduate and graduate students and 1,500 faculty members. This wider community provides depth and diversity of applied and professional studies beyond what a college of the liberal arts and sciences alone can offer. Students studying the liberal arts and sciences may draw upon the knowledge and facilities of the other colleges at Cornell to complement their studies. Abundant variety and outstanding quality in many fields, including interdisciplinary fields, and emphasis on individual academic freedom and responsibility give the college and the university its distinctive character.</p>
<p>The richness of the college's undergraduate curriculum is extraordinary; there is no course that all students must take, and there are nearly 2,000 from which they may choose. By choosing courses each semester, students design their own education. They develop known interests and explore new subjects. An education in the liberal arts and sciences means honing one's critical and imaginative capacities, learning about oneself in nature and culture, and gaining experience with views of the world radically unlike one's own. All this is highly individual, and the college relies on each student and faculty adviser to design a sensible, challenging, and appropriate course of study.</p>
<p>So..... on the link it has all the courses... but when I clicked "HOTEL" it led me to another page with all these other courses.....So tell me... if I choose to take "Hotel" do I learn EVERYTHING that has to do with hotel or just what I choose? Because it seems like there are ALOT of classes and I wouldn't know what to choose...</p>
<p>in all seriousness, i am asking: do you understand how choosing classes in college works?</p>
<p>no i do not :(
and I really wanna know :)</p>
<p>haha ok. cornell has 4000+ courses and 70ish majors.</p>
<p>each major has certain courses that are required of it. you can take 4 or 5 courses per semester. thats 8 semestersx4 or 5 courses so 32-40 courses.</p>
<p>you have to take the courses to fill requirements for your major</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>courses for a distribution requirement (you have to take a few courses in other fields so you get a well rounded education)</p>
<p>then you'll have room for a couple extra courses to take in whatever you want probably. so you could take a random class in wine tasting (offered at the hotel school) or a random class in tractor driving (offered at CALS).</p>
<p>there are also noncredit courses that dont contribute to getting credits (yes, you get credits for passing a real course) toward graduating, but they are in fun things like band or Physical education.</p>
<p>bottomline: in other words, as long as its not like "advanced blahblahing" and you havent taken "basic blahblahing" you can take any course at cornell. you will take a group of courses to fulfill the requirement to get your bachelors degree, which essensially certifies that you know a pretty darn good amount about whatever subject you get it in. and you will take a group of courses to help you get to know a little about everything out there, so you don't go out into the world knowing only about cells dividing, or only about how russia and japan fought a war in 1905.</p>
<p>are we more clear now? any other questions?</p>
