In the past two years, the Cornell/AEM Business Management Certificate program has attracted a balance of non-business Cornell students and non-Cornell students of all ages and from many places, including Canada, China, Greece, Malaysia, Switzerland, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The program takes place during the first half of the summer in order to leave time for student internships, jobs, or travel. Because of the intense nature of the schedule, participants must have completed at least their freshman year of college and be in good academic standing.
