<p>I want to do either business or if not then enginerring. I like Cornell and wanted to know how good they are in those two fields (i think they've got a hgreat engineering program right?) and in other fields as well. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Do you want to know what majors Cornell is known for?</p>
<p>Cornell is pretty good overall, but is a rock star at Hotel Management and Architecture.</p>
<p>When it comes to engineering, it’s tier 1, definitely, the best in the Ivy League. Though if you’re very competitive and feel like you can have a run with MIT, Cal Tech, or Berkeley, I would look at those schools first.</p>
<p>Business, i’m not too sure about, but most of my friends in Applied Economics and Management seem to be pretty lazy. The really devoted are in the Hotel school which most people claim as the “real” business school at Cornell.</p>
<p>Yes, engineering is definitely top notch. This includes chemical, electrical, computer science, mechanics, (these I know especially, but others are regarded highly too, I’m sure).</p>
<p>Generally, all of the university’s specialty colleges offer among the best programs of their type, at the undergraduate level, anyplace. These include: Architecture, Hotel adminsitration, Industrial & Labor Relations, various programs in Human Ecology. You will find some rankings for the undergrad business program, AEM (now “Dyson”) which is within CALS, its rankings have been increasing. You will also find rankings around for the engineering college which is very highly regarded, .</p>
<p>There are no reliable rankings of undergrad programs in the traditional Arts & Sciences disciplines, but one might assume there is “trickle down” from the grad school. </p>
<p>So FWIW here is some information on Cornell’s graduate programs, based on the recent National Research Council study.</p>
<p>“In a comprehensive national study of research doctorate programs sponsored by the National Research Council (NRC), almost half the participating Cornell University Graduate School and Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences graduate fields were included within the top 10 range of rankings on an overall measure, and more than 75 percent are included in the top 20 range”. “Sixty-one Cornell research doctorate programs were ranked in the study, more than any other private institution.”</p>
<p>Cornell fields whose ranking ranges overlap the top 10 range:
Aerospace Engineering, Animal Science, Applied Economics and Management, Applied Mathematics, Astronomy and Space Sciences, Biometry, Classics, Communication, Comparative Literature, Computer Science, English Language and Literature, Entomology, Food Science and Technology, Genetics and Development, Germanic Studies, Horticulture, Linguistics, Medical Science: Cell Biology and Genetics, Medical Science: Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis, Medical Science: Molecular Biology, Medical Science: Pharmacology, Medical Science: Physiology, Biophysics and Systems Biology, Music, Nutrition, Operations Research, Philosophy, Physics, Plant Biology, Plant Breeding, Romance Studies:Spanish, Statistics.</p>
<p>@Kaziurra ouch we are lazy? Im joining AEM this fall. Would u say the school is not as great as it is normally rated?</p>

<p>I guess you’ve run into the wrong AEM students then. There are a lot of diligent 2014’s in AEM, too…</p>
<p>yea, theres tons of diligent aemers, theres tons of lazy aemers, and the thing ya’ll have in common is that you get A’s in every class. </p>
<p>If you are split between business and engineering you should realize they aren’t exclusive. You can major in ORIE in the engineering school (the engineering business major) and get a minor in AEM.</p>

<p>I didn’t think folks generalized about AEM this horrendously, but alas.</p>
<p>“yea, theres tons of diligent aemers, theres tons of lazy aemers, and the thing ya’ll have in common is that you get A’s in every class.”</p>
<p>does this mean AEM is easy to get good grades in or that the students are super smart?</p>
<p>The former.</p>
