Programs for Area Residents
Cornell's Adult University (CAU)
Cornell's Adult University is a learning vacation--on and off campus--for anyone of any age who enjoys exploring new ideas and new places. There is also a Youth College during the summer, designed especially for kids--taking into account their ages, abilities, and interests.
Extramural Study
During the fall and spring semesters, you may take courses for credit on a part-time basis by registering as an Extramural student.
If you aren't interested in taking courses for credit, the Visitor's Program allows adults to attend classes in many divisions of the university on a space-available basis at a reduced charge.
If you are over sixty, the Seniors Program lets you attend classes in the three-, eight-, and six-week summer sessions.
Executive Education
Local executives interested in professional development are welcome to attend any one of a number of courses and seminars presented throughout the year. Visit the Executive Education Web site for a full listing of current and upcoming programs. University undergraduates and recent graduates might consider the Prelaw Program this summer as a way to explore a career in law.
Summer College for High School Students
A scholarship is available to area high school students who are accepted into the Summer College program for High School Students.
