Programs for College Students
We offer a number of options for your continuing study.
Summer Session
During the Summer Session, you can complete prerequisites, lighten your fall/spring courseload, accelerate your degree program, or come just to study something new. Regular Cornell courses are offered in three-, eight-, or six-week sessions and admission is independent of the fall and spring semesters (open enrollment).
Special Programs
Special Programs provide on- and off-campus study opportunities in a variety of disciplines. Please visit the "Courses" sections of our Summer Session and Winter Session Web sites for a complete listing of the on- and off-campus programs that we offer.
