Welcome

Social Sciences

Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences celebrated its centennial as New York State’s College of Agriculture in 2004-05, and is proud to begin a second century of scholarship and service. As the University’s second largest college, we support nearly 400 faculty, and serve 3,100 undergraduates, 1,100 graduate students, and upwards of 45,000 living alumni.

As we focus our attention on state, national, and global issues, our priorities include a strong Land-Grant mission of applied agriculture and food production; Applied Social Sciences, such as business, communication, education, and information technology; Environmental Sciences like natural resources and environmental engineering; and New Life Sciences like genomics and molecular biology.

We invite you to join us.
