"With 94 major fields and 16 minor fields of study, and with 15 different graduate degrees awarded, graduate study at Cornell defies easy categorization. But despite our enormously diverse academic offerings, a few common practices unify the Graduate School experience.

First, our faculty members are truly available to our students. The Graduate School's unique organization into fields of study -- which groups faculty by common academic interest, regardless of college or department affiliation --ensures that faculty and students across the university can share ideas and work together freely and without undue administrative barriers. Additionally, professors are usually members of more than one field, further increasing mentorship options for students. In fact, Cornell prides itself on the generally close and collegial relations within its intellectual communities -- a genuine sense of comraderie among its professors and students that would be impossible in less intimate cities and campuses. Ithaca itself is a small, friendly city where faculty and students find it easy and natural to interact outside of the classroom and laboratory."
