Welcome
Here at SCE, we fondly call Winter Session "the coolest season at Cornell." Not only does it fall during the heart of winter, but it's also a great opportunity to earn up to four credits in just a few weeks.
This beautiful, quiet time on campus allows you to enjoy generally small classes and to concentrate on intensive study. It's also the perfect chance to really get to know your professor and classmates, enroll in a class you've always wanted to take, get ahead in your studies, or immerse yourself in a subject (not to mention take in a hockey game or wrestling match).
Classes are offered not only on campus, but also in NYC and other off-campus locations, and via distance learning (you might want to consider this last option if you prefer sandy beaches to snow-white hills). And, if you don't see the class you want listed, you might be able to take it independently.
