<p>Hi just to make sure, I want to have some questions about Cornell's Applied economics and management program.</p>
<p>I had known it as a normal undergraduate business program. But some said to me recently that it is for agribusiness(Cornell's AEM program is under the college of agriculture and life sciences). So Am I right? Actually I hope that I'm right.</p>
<p>By the way, how's AEM program compared to other school's like Wharton or NYU Stern, USC, Michigan, etc? If you have any special things or any information related to it, I'll really appreciate your help :)</p>
<p>Thanks for reading this, and I'll wait for you guy's kind reply</p>
<p>You can choose to have an agribuiness emphasis, an unusual one among the top undergraduate business prgrams. AEM relatively new but already a top 10-15 program per both USNWR (12th overall) and Business Week (10th overall.)</p>
<p>"Cornell's undergraduate business program rose four slots over 2006 in BusinessWeek's rankings of the top undergraduate business education programs, released March 8.</p>
<p>The applied economics and management (AEM) major, offered through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, won Cornell the No. 10 spot in the magazine's second annual rankings of undergraduate business schools, which hits newsstands March 19, [2007]. The magazine ranked Cornell No. 14 last year.</p>
<p>Cornell is one of four schools BusinessWeek profiled this year to accompany its Top 50 rankings. The magazine lauded Cornell's AEM major, which graduated 216 students in 2006, for providing "opportunities for academic exploration at every turn."</p>
<p>While many business schools produce "well-rounded grads," the story reads, Cornell stands out for actively encouraging students to take courses beyond their majors.</p>
<p>"Cornell, set amid the bucolic splendor of 4,000 wooded acres in Ithaca, N.Y., takes academic exploration a big leap further," the section reads. "In addition to the variety they encounter outside the business program, students get a second dose inside, where they're required, strangely enough, to take a full year of biology -- thanks to the program's affiliation with Cornell's agriculture school -- as well as five electives ranging from consumer behavior to emerging markets."</p>
<p>Can you explain why Cornell AEM requires students to take chem and bio? I'm trying to transfer there, and the chem/bio requirement is really messing up my class schedule.</p>
