Undergraduate students complete off-campus research.
Go deeper, not wider.
Most colleges ask you to divide your attention among multiple classes.
At Cornell, you'll take One Course At A Time, immersing yourself in each subject before moving on to the next one.
Cornell College is the private 4-year liberal arts college for students who want to focus deeply, build close relationships, and get more out every learning experience.
One course. 18 days. Unlimited possibilities.
One course. Complete focus.
One Course At A Time is Cornell College's distinctive approach to academic scheduling where students take one class for 18 days before moving to their next course.
For nearly 50 years, we've built our entire campus around the power of focus. It's more than a schedule. It's the rythym of life on our campus. Faculty and students are both dedicated to one course each block.
And everyone follows a unified schedule where class only happens between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (unless you're traveling together for an off-campus trip, of course.) That means the rest of the day is yours for athletics, extracurriculars, work, study, and socializing.
