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 cau.cornell.edu, e-mail cauinfo@cornell.edu, call (607) 255-6260, or write to Cornell’s Adult University, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-2801.
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, DC, 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 ciw.cornell.edu, e-mail cwash@cornell.edu, call (607) 255-4090, or write to Cornell in Washington, 105 Morrill Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-4701.
Online Learning
Students: Need a flexible schedule? Planning to travel or work during the winter break or summer months? Don’t let that stop you from taking a class, earning credits, or learning something new. Online courses feature web-based components and/or related materials. You’ll interact with the instructor and other students by e-mail and/or discussion boards. 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 sce.cornell.edu/ol, e-mail cusce@cornell.edu, call (607) 255-4987, or write to Online Learning, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-2801.
Faculty: If you are a faculty member interested in developing credit or noncredit online 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 sce.cornell.edu to see what’s possible.

Executive and Professional Programs
Once you’re out in the work world, 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 distinguished leaders in many fields and provide opportunities to hone skills, increase effectiveness, stay abreast of changes in the work world, and network with colleagues. Programs also can be designed to respond to the specific needs and interests of corporations, professional societies, and other groups.

Extramural/Part-time Study
If your studies are 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 Extramural/Part-time Study program, almost anyone may enroll in almost 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 courses 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. For information, visit sce.cornell.edu/exmu, e-mail cusce@cornell.edu, call (607) 255-9697, or write to Extramural Study, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-2801.
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 sce.cornell.edu/common/pdf/independent_study.pdf or from the Continuing Education office) and register in B20 Day Hall at least two weeks prior to beginning the independent study course. Also, please let the School know if there are courses you would like to see offered next summer or winter. For information, e-mail cusce@cornell.edu or call (607) 255-4987.
Outreach Programs
The School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions (SCE) actively supports a number of programs and activities that serve the common good.
