Graduate
Graduate education at Cornell is based on a concept of fields of study—independent of colleges and departments. This groups faculty by common academic interest, ensuring that faculty and students across the university can share ideas and work together freely and without undue administrative barriers.
In addition, Human Ecology faculty are members of other graduate fields, and graduate faculty of other colleges are members of graduate fields associated with the College of Human Ecology. This breadth of opportunity enhances the scholarship of all.
