Scheduled for 2025
Located in beautiful Ithaca, New York, the Cornell campus is known for its picturesque setting and breathtaking gorges and waterfalls carved out by glaciers millions of years ago. Founded in 1865, Cornell’s mission has been to discover, preserve, and disseminate knowledge to produce creative work, promoting a culture of broad inquiry throughout and beyond the Cornell community. The university provides the experience of a traditional college campus filled with history and tradition. While on campus, students will participate in our Institute for the Gifted's challenging proprietary curriculum that includes courses focused on medical sciences, global politics, psychology, engineering, and more.Top Activities in : Ithaca, NY
