International Education
Cornell College recognizes the growing interdependence of peoples and nations in today's world. To function in this interdependent world liberally educated persons need to be literate in other languages, understanding of other cultures, and receptive to other viewpoints. Cornell's International Education programs are designed to help students learn how to recognize, comprehend, and respect difference and to achieve a critical awareness of their own perspectives.
International Education at Cornell has its roots in a long-standing tradition of foreign student enrollment. The first international student matriculated in 1887; today Cornell alumni represent nearly 50 countries outside the United States. Many Cornell faculty members have had and continue to have international experience in the form of research and teaching exchanges and travel abroad. A grant to a consortium of the ACM, GLCA, and the University of Michigan provides further opportunity to faculty and students to increase their international awareness and expertise. College-sponsored study-abroad opportunities for students have been part of the curriculum since the 1950s. In its cultural and extracurricular programming the College has made an effort to include the arts and ideas of different cultures and countries.
