Student Research by the Numbers
Cornell’s mission is to discover, preserve, and disseminate knowledge; produce creative work; and promote a culture of broad inquiry throughout and beyond the Cornell community.
Find our how we’re doing by the numbers:
Undergraduates
- >4000 Cornell students earned credit each semester for their research efforts in 2019-2020
