Johnson Graduate School of Management and Dyson School of Applied Economics & Management
Any person can study any subject—that was Ezra Cornell's vision when he founded Cornell University in 1865 on a hill above Cayuga Lake in central New York. The Ivy League school that was once called "the first American university" by educational historian Frederick Rudolph is also home to the nation's first colleges devoted to hotel administration, industrial and labor relations, and veterinary medicine.

On the Ithaca campus alone nearly 20,000 students representing every state and 120 countries choose from among 4,000 courses in 11 undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools, including three accredited business degree programs. Undergraduates earn the BS degree in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics & Management; the MBA and PhD degrees are awarded by the S.C. Johnson Graduate School of Management; and the Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH) degree is earned at the School of Hotel Administration.

Small Town, Big Campus
The Cornell campus is big enough to have its own zip code, but barely more than 30,000 people populate Ithaca, located 60 miles southwest of Syracuse in the Finger Lakes region of central New York. The city's small size makes it more of a "college town" than a hub of cultural or business activity.

"Though the location can be a drawback to some," says a consulting student in a survey conducted by Bloomberg Businessweek, "it facilitates a great deal of camaraderie and allows students to become fully invested in the MBA program in all of its aspects."

In past years the city has been named the best "emerging city" to live in in the U.S., the fourth-best city in the country to relocate to, one of the "12 Hippest Hometowns for Vegetarians," and one of the "12 Great Places You've Never Heard Of."

The Campus
There are more than 260 major buildings on the 745 contiguous acres of Cornell's flagship campus atop East Hill. Students in one of the four MBA programs and the PhD program frequent Sage Hall, shown above, the central point for the Johnson School. The building combines 19th century classical architecture with state-of-the-art facilities, including teleconferencing facilities, an expansive library, and the Parker Center for Investment Research, which replicates a Wall Street trading floor.

Collaborative Community
Both the undergraduate and graduate business programs are consistently ranked among the top 20 across the country, so admission is competitive. For the Dyson School of Applied Economics & Management, Cornell's undergraduate program, selectivity to fill a freshman class of about 100 hovers around 14 percent. Tuition is about $22,000 for residents and $38,000 for nonresidents. For the Johnson MBA program, the class size is around 1,000 students and selectivity is also about 22 percent. Average tuition for both residents and nonresidents enrolled in the two-year MBA program is about $50,000.

The goal for both programs is to simulate a high-performance workplace that includes an intense workload and exciting extracurricular opportunities. Cornell has student clubs and organizations that focus on business and industry, culture, religion, community service, and sports and recreation.

Dyson School
With fewer than 700 students, the Applied Economics & Management major in the Dyson School is the university's second-largest undergraduate major, yet it is one of the smallest, most selective four-year undergraduate business programs in the U.S.

Cornell's undergraduate business students can specialize in up to two of the Dyson School's 10 specializations, which include finance, marketing, strategy, accounting, entrepreneurship, environmental and resource economics, applied economics, international trade and development, agribusiness management, and food industry management

Multicultural Ambitions
The international student population at Johnson is 22 percent and within Dyson it is 11 percent, but the school says it's committed to growing both numbers. The Ithaca community and Cornell campus offer events and organizations that celebrate diverse cultures and minority groups. At the Johnson School, minority student resources include the Office of Diversity & Inclusion and a network of student clubs that represent varied affiliations, including the Korean Business Assn., the Latin American Business Assn., and the Middle Eastern Club.

Immerse Yourself
The full-time MBA program spans 21 months, including a summer internship between the two academic years. The first semester of the first year focuses on core courses, and in the second semester students enroll in the immersion program in preparation for their internship. In the second year students have the opportunity to choose up to two concentrations from five general topics including consulting, entrepreneurship, and leadership, as well as seven more specific areas, including marketing analytics, private equity, and financial investing.

The Johnson School's immersion program is an intense, hands-on semester of integrated course and fieldwork in a specific industry or career interest. The immersion experience combines coursework with faculty and coaching by leading business practitioners where students are solving problems under actual business conditions.

Hands-On Experience
An example of a hands-on experience students can take part in is the Cayuga MBA Fund. The student-run fund has consistently outperformed its benchmarks, posting positive returns in a turbulent market. The Johnson School's fully equipped trading room, the Parker Center for Investment Research, gives students access to $1.5 million of cutting-edge analyst software, real-time data feeds, and extensive international financial databases.

Industry Leaders
The Johnson School employs researchers, lecturers, and practitioners from more than 10 disciplinary fields and across multiple industries. More than 100 faculty currently serve students in the school's four MBA programs and its PhD program. The undergraduate program has about 40 full-time faculty and about 10 adjunct and visiting faculty.

Sometimes Cornell faculty contribute to projects outside the university. For instance, professor Maureen O'Hara, shown above, is chairman of the Economic Advisory Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers, and she has consulted for a number of companies and organizations, including Microsoft MSFT, Merrill Lynch href="http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?ticker=BAC:US">BAC, Credit Suisse CS, Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY, and the New York Stock Exchange.
