About
Graduate study has been a part of the Cornell experience since the founding of the University in 1865.
About the Graduate School
Cornell is one of the first institutions of higher education in the United States to offer advanced degrees, and one of the very first to admit women and African American students. Today, our Graduate School is an intellectually-stimulating, warm, vibrant community of nearly 100 fields of study.

Union Representation
Cornell Graduate Students United (CGSU) and their affiliate union, the United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America (UE) filed a petition for representation with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on September 28, 2023. We created a Union Representation section of our website to address information needs of the Cornell community related to this important issue.
