It is also one of the most comprehensive agricultural programs anywhere. The College offers many oppor - tunities in the rapidly growing fields of agricultural, biological, and environmental sciences, as well as options in business and communication. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is one of the world’s leading centers for biotechnology research, development, and application. The College is located on Cornell University’s 745-acre campus in Ithaca, off Routes 13, 79, 89, and 96, and is accessible by bus and air. Over 800 student organizations at the University cover student interests in Cornell’s seven colleges. Many clubs focus on agriculture-oriented topics, such as the Dairy Science Club, the Society for Natural Resources Conservation and Agricultural Sciences Club. Unique Features Students have the flexibility to specialize in one of more than 20 majors, be involved in hands-on research, and access courses and programs in Cornell's six other colleges that offer undergraduate programs. Academic programs can be tailored to capitalize on one or several of the College's academic themes of Agriculture and Food Systems, Life Sciences, Applied Social Sciences and Environmental Sciences. CALS has the world's largest colle giate library collection of agricultural and biological sciences volumes, which is integrated with the other libraries throughout the Cornell campus. Unique
UNIVERSITY CENTERS AND DOCTORAL DEGREE GRANTING INSTITUTIONS < 11 facili ties include a teaching winery, a biofuels research laboratory, a student run organic farm, a working orchard, and world class collections of plants, insects and vertebrates. The College is home to the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and one of the top ranked undergraduate business programs in the country. To Visit the Campus One of the best ways to decide whether the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is for you is to visit us in person. Admissions Information Sessions from June through November focus on freshman and transfer admission and include a general overview of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, an explanation of the admissions process, a glimpse of what the admissions committee looks for in an application, and plenty of time to answer questions about both academic and student life. The Information and Referral Center offers guided walking tours of the campus throughout the year. The tours are an enjoyable and informative introduction to Cornell and its history, student life, and Cornell's combined roles as an undergraduate teaching institution, an international research university, and New York State's land-grant institution. For information on planning your visit, including registering for campus tours and information sessions, arranging an overnight stay, directions, and a list of classes open to visitors, please see http://cals.cornell.edu/admissions/visit/. Admission Requirements Cornell uses the Common Application and requires the Cornell University Supplement to the Common Application. Each college works to increase its enrollment of members of underrepresented minority groups. Cornell accepts students with a range of test scores; however, class rank is typically in the first decile. Although the colleges at Cornell have individual requirements for admission and their selec tion processes differ, each requires that students submit information on their application regard ing academic achievement and accom plish - ments in extra-curricular, personal or communitybased activities as well as essays about their academic interests and goals. A college preparatory program of 16 or more high school units is required, including four units of English; three of mathematics; two of science (biology and chemistry or physics); and four units of both mathematics and science are recommended. Evaluation Process Freshmen and transfers are admitted to major program areas. The admissions committee carefully considers each applicant’s educational goals, academic record, work experience and recommendations from counselors, teachers, employers and others. Interviews are not conducted for those applying as freshmen. A portfolio is required for students interested in the Landscape Architecture major. Transfer students are encouraged to attend an in for - mation session and review the College’s transfer Web site for details about transferring and required coursework. Individual phone consultations are available on a limited case-by-case basis if prospective transfers have addi tional questions about transfer planning. Ideally, appointments should be scheduled one academic year prior to the semester before they plan to apply in order to allow for sufficient time to appropriately plan their upcoming semesters in preparation to transfer. These appoint - ments are not evaluative inter views; they are opportunities to answer questions about the transfer process and to discuss proper course selection. Financial Aid The University offers a combination of award (scholarship and grant) and self-help (loan and job) assistance. Cornell’s primary consideration in awarding financial aid is need. Freshmen: To apply for financial aid, register for and complete the College Scholarship Service (CSS) PROFILE. To register, contact CSS at 800.778.6888 or at www.collegeboard.org. You will also need to submit a signed copy of your parents’ most recent federal income tax forms and complete the Free Appli cation for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Transfers: Register for and complete the CSS PROFILE, complete the FAFSA and submit tax returns as described above for freshmen. In addition, transfers need to submit a financial aid transcript from each college they have attended. For more information regarding financial aid visit www.finaid.cornell.edu, write finaid@cornell.edu or call 607-255-5145. Honors Program Independent research projects with faculty members are undertaken by senior students who meet the honors program requirements. Programs of Study CALS awards BS, MS, MPS, MAT and PhD degrees. Undergraduate students apply to a specific CALS major; there is no “undecided” major. CALS offers 21 majors in the following areas: Agricultural Sciences, Animal Science, Applied Economics and Management, Atmospheric Science, Biological Engineering, Biological Sciences, Biology & Society, Biometry & Statistics, Communications, Development Sociology, Entomology, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Science & Sustainability, Food Science, Information Science, International Agriculture & Rural Development, Landscape Architecture, Nutritional Sciences, Plant Sciences, Science of Earth Systems, Viticulture and Enology.

Freshmen are guaranteed University housing on campus; transfer students are offered University housing as well. Students are not required to live in residence halls and Cornell operates an off-campus housing office to assist students who reside in nearby apartments and homes. Many students also live in fraternity and sorority houses. Residence halls do not segregate students by college. Special interest residence units are also available.
