CORNELL’S ADULT UNIVERSITY

Believing that learning shouldn’t end once you’ve earned your degree, Cornell’s Adult University (CAU) offers weeklong noncredit courses on campus in the summer for adults and families. During the fall, winter, and spring, CAU offers weekend seminars and longer domestic programs as well as international study tours. Developed and led by distinguished members of the Cornell faculty, all programs are inspired by the conviction that one of the roles of a great university is to provide a bridge between traditional formal education and informal, noncredit study. For information, visit http://www.cau.cornell.edu, e-mail cauinfo@cornell.edu, call 607 255-6260, or write to Cornell’s Adult University, 626 Thurston Avenue, Ithaca, NY 14850-2490.

CONTINUING EDUCATION INFORMATION SERVICE

If you know someone who has been out of school for several years and who wants to resume his or her education, you may want to mention Cornell’s Continuing Education Information Service, which provides counseling, referral, and news about short courses, workshops, professional updates, and executive programs offered by the university.

CORNELL CYBERTOWER: FREE FACULTY LECTURES AND INTERVIEWS ONLINE

Meet Cornell faculty members and explore fascinating topics for free at Cornell CyberTower, which features three online program series:

    •    Study Rooms contain video-streamed lectures, links to specially selected web sites, reading lists, and discussion boards with Cornell faculty members and fellow CyberTower users.

    •    Forums are informal video-streamed conversations with leading faculty members. Discussion boards enable you to trade comments and questions with each month’s featured guest.

    •    Views and Reviews are brief, unabashedly opinionated commentaries by faculty members on books, films, articles, and topics in the news.

To explore CyberTower, simply log on to http://www.cybertower.cornell.edu. It’s a great way to see some of what Cornell has to offer! In fact, why not share it with your family and friends?

CORNELL IN WASHINGTON PROGRAM

If you want to combine the strengths of Cornell with all of the best parts of living and learning in Washington, D.C., consider the Cornell in Washington program. Students take courses in the fall, spring, or summer for credit, work as externs, and complete substantial research projects while enjoying the rich opportunities available in the nation’s capital. For information, visit http://www.ciw.cornell.edu, e-mail cwash@cornell.edu, call 607 255-4090, or write to Cornell in Washington, M101 McGraw Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-4601.

DISTANCE LEARNING

Need a flexible schedule? Planning to travel or work during winter break or during the summer? Don’t let that stop you from taking a class, earning credits, or learning something new. Wherever you are, whatever your schedule, Cornell distance learning courses are just a keyboard away. Distance learning courses feature web-based components and/or related materials. You’ll interact with the instructor and other students by phone or e-mail. Most assignments and examinations are completed within a scheduled time frame, just as in on-campus courses, but you’ll have the option of getting a head start on readings and lectures. For information, visit http://www.sce.cornell.edu/dl, e-mail cusce@cornell.edu, call 607 255-4987, or write to Distance Learning, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-2801.

If you are a faculty member interested in developing credit or noncredit distance learning courses, the school offers a broad range of services, including determining technological needs, resolving copyright issues, creating a marketing plan, and fulfilling administrative duties related to your course. Visit http://www.sce.cornell.edu/dl to see what’s possible.

EXECUTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Once you’re out in the work world (or if you know folks who already are), you may be interested in the short, high-level executive education programs that the school presents on campus, online, and in locations worldwide. These courses are taught by Cornell faculty and senior research staff members in many fields. Programs also can be designed to respond to the specific needs and interests of corporations, professional societies, and other groups. For information, visit http://www.sce.cornell.edu/exec, e-mail cusp@cornell.edu, call 607 255-7259, or write to Executive Education, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-2801.

EXTRAMURAL/PART-TIME STUDY

If you find your studies interrupted for any reason, you may find it useful to take classes on a part-time basis. The school is also dedicated to offering part-time study to staff and faculty members, area residents, and anyone else interested in taking courses at the university, improving their job skills, continuing their education, or simply having fun learning something new.

Thanks to the school’s Extramural Study program, anyone may (with few exceptions) enroll in any course in the university during the fall and spring semesters if space is available. Part-time study at Cornell is a great opportunity to take fascinating course offerings and study with world-renowned faculty members. If you’d like to take advantage of Cornell’s extensive course offerings but don’t need college credit, you may register through the Visitors Program and receive a 90 percent discount on tuition.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Have a special interest you’d like to pursue? Want to do research and get credit for it? Need a particular course to graduate on time? Consider independent study.

Independent study encompasses courses of your own design, special topics courses, undergraduate research, or any regular course from the fall and spring semesters not being offered. If you can find a professor willing to supervise your study, all you need to do is pick up the application for independent study (available on the web at http://www.summer.cornell.edu or from the Summer Session office) and register in B20 Day Hall at least two weeks prior to beginning the independent study course. Also, please let the Summer Session office know if there are courses you would like to see offered next summer (e-mail cusce@cornell.edu or call 607 255-4987).
