Whether you like to travel, love spending time in a lab, or prefer to chart your own course of study, you'll find countless opportunities in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ & Â鶹ÊÓƵ for engagement and learning, in the classroom and beyond.
Humanities Scholars Program
The Humanities Scholars Program fosters independent, interdisciplinary undergraduate research in the humanities, and provides a supportive community, through a series of curated courses, structured mentorship, special programming, and research opportunities and funding.
Robert S. Harrison College Scholars Program
Students design their own interdisciplinary major, organized around a question or issue of interest, and pursue a course of study that cannot be found in an established major. College Scholars explore subjects with a broader integration of related disciplines than most students would attempt.
Nexus Scholars Program
The Nexus Scholars Program in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ & Â鶹ÊÓƵ (A&S) provides undergraduate students with paid, full-time summer research opportunities under the mentorship of faculty from all across the college (humanities, social sciences, and STEM). The program also includes a professional development course, career exploration opportunities, social events, and the chance to join a cohort of 100 students with diverse interests who are passionate about learning.
Milstein Program in Technology and Humanity
The Milstein Program is an undergraduate enrichment program in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ & Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Students in the Milstein Program select a major among those offered by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ and Â鶹ÊÓƵ, but will also have access to a specialized curriculum on the intersection of technology and the humanities, access to speakers, mentors and summer internship opportunities. Milstein Scholars have the unique experience of building community with their small cohort (of 25 students per year) while attending Milstein classes and events
Study Abroad
With college permission, most A&S students may study abroad for one or two fall or spring semesters on programs approved by Arts and Â鶹ÊÓƵ. (Students may also pursue short-term programs independently.)
Rawlings Presidential Research Scholars
The Hunter R. Rawlings III Cornell Presidential Research Scholars (RCPRS) program supports a select group of undergraduate students, from all colleges and many disciplines, by providing resources for and promoting sustained engagement in research in close relationship with faculty and other mentors.
Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship
Each year, new MMUF undergraduate fellows are selected from applicants in the rising junior classes of MMUF member institutions. These fellows join the rising and graduating senior fellows. The MMUF fellows are provided with mentoring and financial support as they prepare for entry into PhD programs and eventual careers as scholars and faculty members.
Posse Program
Founded in 1989, the Posse Foundation is a student opportunities and youth leadership program that matches promising high school students with top-tier colleges and universities across the United States. Each year these students enter college in a multicultural cohort (Posses) of 10. The Posse Foundation helps colleges and universities diversify their student body and create an inclusive, welcoming campus
Phi Beta Kappa
Phi Beta Kappa aims to promote and advocate excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and to induct the most outstanding students of arts and sciences at American colleges and universities. Founded in 1776 at The College of William and Mary, the Phi Beta Kappa Society is the oldest honor society for the liberal arts and sciences and is widely considered to be the nation's most prestigious honor society.
Undergraduate Research
Do you want to get involved in research? The opportunities are limitless: from Cuban rhythms to nanoscience, voting patterns to poetry and everything between and beyond. You can do research in the summer or during the school year, every year or just one semester.
Concurrent Degree
Through the Concurrent Degree Program, ambitious students with broad intellectual interests can integrate a traditional liberal arts education with a more professionally-oriented course of study in the College of Engineering or the College of Architecture, Art & Planning (AAP).
Summer Experience Grants
The Summer Experience Grant (SEG) is a collection of summer funding awards that provide financial support for students to complete summer unpaid or minimally paid career-related experiences. SEG supports students with funding for living expenses, transportation, and professional clothing so that these essential experiences are available to all of our students, including those who may otherwise not be able to afford them
