Every
fall when the market for new hires heats up,
the world's top employers go looking for Bear—the
Big Red Bear graduates of Cornell's
Department of Applied Economics and Management
(AEM), home to the University's premier Undergraduate
Business Program.
Why?
They’re Ivy League Smart.
They’re Cornell Visionary. Cornell
broadens perspectives like nowhere else. From
its founding, Cornell has embraced a revolutionary,
egalitarian "any person ... any study" approach
to education, reflected in its 14
schools and colleges, 70 undergraduate
majors, and more than 4,000 courses.
AEM's
flexible degree requirements give
students ample opportunities to enrich their
top-ranked business, agribusiness, and applied
economics education. Because of the department's
unique location in one of the world's leading
land-grant colleges,
students can easily combine their AEM major
with a focus or double
major in the life sciences, environmental
sciences, agricultural sciences, or
applied social sciences. It's not
unusual, for example, for an AEM student
to also be majoring or minoring in a biological
science, communication, natural resources,
biometry and statistics, animal science,
or development sociology. And that's just
6 of the 24 major
fields of study in
which an AEM student
can double major or minor.
This unbounded
exposure gives AEM students
the ability to see a world beyond the present,
preparing them to lead in a future of constant
convergences between the sciences, social
sciences, and the arts.
They're AEM Applied. The
Department of Applied Economics and Management
and its AACSB International-accredited
Undergraduate Business Program have a 100-year
legacy of students and professors applying
practical, applied economics and management
tools on every continent to solve the world's
most significant business and social issues.
Whether our faculty's focus is on trade agreements
with the European Union, emerging markets and
the eradication of poverty in Africa, or oil
production in the Middle East, financial institutions
in New York City, agribusinesses in New York
State, or the economics of biofuels and wind
power, they conduct relevant research
whose results have a profound impact on business
leaders, policy makers, management scholars, and
their students.
They Believe in the Power of Collaboration. Because
AEM offers the smallest, most selective 4-year
undergraduate business program in the U.S.,
AEM students know each other. They develop
lasting mutual respect for each other's
talents and views. They work closely together
and with professors, alumni, and employers
in AEM's non-cutthroat, can-do culture to achieve
results. AEM graduates lead from the front.
They build community.
They're "Big Red" Energized. Almost
no university demands as much of its students
and rewards them as strongly with personal
achievement, lifetime friendships, powerful
worldwide connections, and a sense of belonging
to something of great meaning.
AEM's highly ranked business, agribusiness,
and applied economics expertise open eyes
and doors for lifetimes of accelerated success
and meaningful accomplishment.
