Biology at Cornell
There is a tremendous amount of biology at Cornell, and this is reflected at all levels of university life, from undergraduate biology in the traditional biology major to graduate programs and research institutes. It has been said that we have entered the "Century of Biology", and this is evident in the way that biology now crops up in many, often unexpected places. Indeed, so pervasive is biology that traditional disciplinary boundaries have become blurred, and it is thus a major task just to list the faculty and programs in this huge--and growing--area at Cornell. On the Ithaca campus there are over 300 biologists, and they belong to many different departments in several different colleges and programs, including:
- College of Agriculture & Life Sciences
see also New York State Agriculture Experiment Station - College of Arts & Sciences
- College of Engineering
- College of Human Ecology
- College of Veterinary Medicine
- Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Biology
In addition, the Weill Medical College in New York City has many ties with the Ithaca campus.
Cornell offers many opportunities for students interested in biology at either the undergraduate or graduate level.
