This undergraduate major sits in the Dyson School, which belongs to both the agriculture college and the business college at Cornell. It is a business-management degree grounded in economics, accredited at the business-school level.
Students pick at least one concentration, such as accounting, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, food business or sustainable business, and may add a second. Many students add a minor or a second major from a neighboring agricultural or life-science field.
Graduation depends on meeting the requirements of the major together with the broader degree requirements of the admitting college. Students work with advisors to plan their courses, and the catalog sets out the policies on grades, declaring the major and academic standing that apply along the way. Prospective applicants should review the expectations of the admitting college before choosing this path.
