<p>its the AEM program at CALS</p>

<p>It's called the "Applied Economics and Management" program in the CALS. It's a great program, definitely worth applying to.</p>

<p>Well it’s never too early to start looking around…so good job with that! Cornell is highly regarded in terms of the business related fields of study…so if you’re interested in that Cornell is absolutely wonderful, as it is in basically all other fields!</p>

<p>It's the 11th best Undergrad Business program according to US News.</p>

<p>Guys What's the prospect of a double major in business ?</p>

11

<p>Ya what's amazing is that it is relatively new yet already rated 11th. Just think of the potential of it as it ages...amazing.</p>

12

<p>u cant double major in business. u can, however, do a double concentration. AEM is the major. correct me if im wrong</p>

13

<p>"one undergraduate major—Applied Economics and Management. Within this major are 5 specializations, which fall into 3 general areas: Business, Agribusiness, and Applied Economics." so you are correct^^</p>

<p>AEM is one of only two accredited programs in the Ivy League! that's pretty cool + its national rank ;)</p>

14

<p>No I didn't mean double major in business. Major in a field at CALS and then major in AEM (Business basically). I guess I should have said double major with business</p>

15

<p>How old is AEM ?</p>

16

<p>good question..im wondering myself. all keep saying how 'relatively new' the program is and yet its ranked right up there with all the great b-schools.</p>

17

<p>That's because imagine how great it will be as more time passes.</p>

<p>The acronym AEM is fairly new, but the business program has been around since the university was founded. The business program in CALS has gone through many transformations. I could write a tome on this, but CALS started as the NYS land grant college (Google- The Morrill Act, July 2, 1862). Farmers attended that College - since farming was a big business in those days, that's how business originated there. The first business program was called Agricultural Economics. Over time, the program grew and changed as the population changed. Today, you can still major in Agriculture Economics in AEM, but most people are interested in the Business Major. </p>

<p>One of the reasons why it has become so competitive to gain admission to in recent years is due to the accreditation. Contingent on accreditation, they had to lower the student/faculty ratio. People call this a new program because it is fairly “newly accredited”, therefore it has not been ranked by US News until recent years. It is also extremely popular because of its reputation as a strong program in terms of networking, recruiting and educationally. Wharton and AEM are the only two accredited undergraduate business programs in the Ivy League. Wharton is a separate college within Penn, The AEM program at Cornell is an Undergraduate Business Program. They are both AACSB accredited business degrees. AEM became accredited in 2002. <a href="http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/02/1.24.02/AEM_accred.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/02/1.24.02/AEM_accred.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Here's a nice quote about it being "new" and "old" from the link above.</p>

<p>
[quote]
John Kraft, dean of the Warrington College of Business Administration at the University of Florida, said that while the educational program has existed for over 90 years, this accreditation makes AEM the "newest 'oldest' business degree program" to become accredited in the United States.
