About Cornell University
Cornell University is a private Ivy League and statutory land-grant research university, based in Ithaca, New York.

The university is organized into seven undergraduate colleges and seven graduate divisions at its main Ithaca campus, with each college and division defining its specific admission standards and academic programs in near autonomy. The university also administers three satellite campuses, two in New York City and one in Education City, Qatar.
