The Cornell curriculum is flexible, and students can fine-tune their schedules to have the educational experiences they are looking for. That said, each of the undergraduate colleges and schools has its own academic requirements. In addition, all first-year students participate in Cornell’s award-winning First-Year Writing Seminar (FWS) program. To learn more about these offerings, please visit the John S. Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines information on our Courses of Study webpage.
