SPECIAL AND PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Intensive learning experiences are presented year-round both for students and for professionals in many fields. Formats include for-credit courses of one to eight weeks and noncredit weekend and weeklong short courses. Programs can also be designed to respond to the needs and interests of corporations, professional societies, and other groups. These programs take place on the Cornell campus, on site, at other locations worldwide, and via distance learning. For information, call 255-7259; e-mail cusp@cornell.edu; fax 255-9697; or visit http://www.sce.cornell.edu/sp/.

SUMMER COLLEGE PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Talented high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors attend regular university courses through Cornell University Summer College and may earn college credit. They also explore academic and career options in noncredit seminars. Students live in residence halls, become familiar with campus life, and attend seminars describing the college admissions process. The program is designed to help ease the transition from high school to college. For information, call 255-6203; e-mail summer_college@cornell.edu; fax 255-6665; or visit http://www.summercollege.cornell.edu.

CORNELL'S ADULT UNIVERSITY

Cornell's Adult University (CAU) offers weeklong noncredit courses on campus for adults and families during the summer. During the fall, winter, and spring, there are weekend seminars, weeklong domestic programs, and international study tours. Developed and led by distinguished members of the Cornell faculty, all programs are inspired by the belief that learning never ends and that one of the roles of a great university is to provide a bridge between traditional formal education and informal, noncredit study. For information, write Cornell's Adult University, 626B Thurston Avenue, Ithaca, NY 14850-2490; call 255-6260; e-mail cauinfo@cornell.edu; fax 254-4482; or visit http://www.cau.cornell.edu.

DISTANCE LEARNING

The School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions offers a range of courses through distance learning. Instructional materials for these courses may be presented on the web, and/or through video tapes, assigned readings, e-mail sessions with course instructors, and CD-ROMs. Students interact with the instructor and other students by phone or e-mail. Courses may be taken from home or elsewhere. Assignments and examinations are completed within a scheduled session, just as in on-campus courses, but students have the option of beginning study prior to the start of the session. For information, visit http://www.sce. cornell.edu/dl/.

For faculty members interested in developing credit or noncredit distance learning courses, the school offers a broad range of services, including determining technological needs, resolving copyright issues, creating a marketing plan, and fulfilling administrative duties related to the course. Services are tailored to individual needs and ongoing support is available. Visit http://www.sce.cornell.edu/dl/ to see what's possible.

CyberTower is an exciting online program that gives users access to many of Cornell's best teachers at any time and from virtually anywhere. CyberTower features Study Rooms on a wide range of topics. Each room offers video-streamed lectures, links to specially selected web sites, informative reading lists, and a place to chat with faculty and other Cornellians and CyberTower subscribers. CyberTower also features monthly faculty Forums on a variety of timely topics. For more information, visit the web site at cybertower.cornell.edu.

EXTRAMURAL STUDY

Cornell undergraduate or graduate students whose studies have been interrupted may find it appropriate to resume their studies by taking classes on a part-time basis. Area residents and Cornell employees may take courses on a part-time basis by registering as extramural students. Those interested may enroll in almost any course offered in the fall and spring terms if they receive the instructor's written approval. Another offering, the Visitor's Program, allows adults to attend classes in many divisions of the university on a space-available basis at a reduced charge. In this program, no credit is given, and no record is kept of attendance or performance. Visitors are required to obtain written permission from the instructor. For information, write to Extramural Study, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-2801; call 255-4987; e-mail cusce@ cornell.edu; fax 255-9697; or visit http://www.sce. cornell.edu/exmu/.

WINTER SESSION

Cornell undergraduate and graduate students, as well as employees and area residents, can earn up to four credits between the fall and spring semesters by enrolling in the winter session. This quiet time on campus allows students to enjoy generally smaller classes and to concentrate on intensive study. Winter-session students may enroll in scheduled courses or design individualized study with a faculty member. For information, write to Winter Session, B20 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853-2801; call 255-4987; e-mail cusce@cornell.edu; fax 255-9697; or visit http://www.sce.cornell.edu/ws/.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY SUMMER SESSION

The Cornell University Summer Session provides unique and unusually attractive opportunities for study and recreation at a time when the Cornell campus and the Finger Lakes region of central New York are at their loveliest and the Ithaca weather is at its best. Participants may choose from a wide spectrum of courses scheduled during three-, six-, and eight-week sessions. Although admission is open to persons of all ages, the majority of summer session participants are matriculated Cornell students. Classes meet daily, are generally small, and feature personalized interaction with Cornell faculty members. These courses also provide students with the opportunity to accelerate their degree program, take courses not available during the fall and spring semesters, and delve into areas of special interest. For information call 255-4987; e-mail cusce@cornell.edu; or visit our web site at http://www.summer.cornell.edu.
