Academic Enrichment Programs

Off-Campus Study

Students have the opportunity to engage in courses that leave the Hilltop for experiential learning projects. The Berry Center supports courses that provide these extraordinary opportunities in areas of economics, business, and public policy. Read more about recent off-campus study experiences supported by the Berry Center.

Independent Study

The Berry Center provides financial support for student-centered scholarship, including independent study projects designed by students with support from faculty sponsors.  Read more about independent study projects.

Distinguished Visitors

A key goal of the Berry Center is to bring business leaders, scholars and policy experts directly into the classroom. Cornell’s One Course at Time approach makes scheduling simple, and students often interact with visiting professionals for hours or even several days. Read more about visitors in the classroom.

Participation in Conferences

The Berry Center is committed to funding student participation in conferences or meetings that are of an academic or professional nature. Students may make presentations, participate in panels, or simply attend sessions.  Read more about student participation in conferences.

Student-Faculty Research

Cornell has a long tradition of meaningful student-faculty research in the sciences. Faculty members approach these projects as mentors in a collaborative, educational process, generally working with no more than two students at a time. The Berry Center seeks to extend this strength to the areas of economics, business, and public policy. Read more about recent student-faculty research projects supported by the Berry Center.
