Because Cornell College values diversity and strives to create a welcoming community in which all individuals are respected and included, the entire campus community engages in dialogue around issues of difference, identity, and ideology.

The college is committed to fostering a faculty and staff community that reflects our diverse student body.

We encourage applications from candidates who share our vision for a campus that embraces differing backgrounds, viewpoints, and identities, and who will excel at teaching and mentoring a student body that is broadly diverse.  (See our diversity statement.)

Cornell’s One Course At A Time academic calendar is divided into eight- 3½ week blocks in which students take and faculty teach a single course.

Our academic calendar allows us the freedom to take students off-campus without impinging on other course commitments.

In addition, class size is limited to 25 students, and upper-level courses are often smaller.
