Colleen Barry, the inaugural dean of the Brooks School, described Cornell’s newest undergraduate school this way: “The Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy brings together scholars across disciplines to tackle the biggest public policy challenges we face as a society, both in the U.S. and globally. Our mission is to make positive change in the world.”
The Cornell Brooks School of Public Policy is a hybrid academic unit that partners with contract and endowed colleges to offer undergraduate programs. New York State residents enrolled in Bachelor of Science programs in the Brooks School receive the New York State resident contract college tuition rate. More information about tuition rates and expenses can be found on the Cornell financial aid website.
