The Cornell University Graduate School confers most
Ag Quad. For decades, the Graduate School was housed in Sage Hall
which also included social areas and dormitory rooms for graduate students. The Graduate School does not have a faculty. Instead, it organizes the faculty of other colleges into "fields" representing distinct subject areas. Students apply for admission to a specific field, although once admitted, students are not limited to that field when selecting courses or faculty to serve of the committee supervising the student's research.
The
Weill Cornell Medical School and the Tri-Institutional MD–PhD Program
have authority to confer PhD degrees independent of the Graduate School.
At one time, Cornell established a Graduate School of Aerospace Engineering and a Graduate School of Nutrition that were independent of the centralized Graduate School. However, both institutions have been absorbed into other academic units.
As of 2019-2020, the tuition for the Graduate School is $29,500 for fields in the endowed colleges and $20,800 for fields in the statutory colleges.[2] In 2010, the Graduate School had 3,367 students with faculty advisors employed in Cornell's endowed units and 1,604 students with faculty advisors employed in statutory colleges.[1]
