“Whether Cornell’s agricultural programs contribute research, species hybridization, or innovative sustainable practices, there are endless opportunities for people of all experience levels to get involved.”
Cornell’s SC Johnson College of Business was once again named the United States’ 15th best business school, according to U.S. News and World Report’s annual rankings released on Tuesday.
Correction appended. Cornell Law will once again be the United States’ 13th top law school, according to a leaked copy of the U.S. News and World Report’s annual rankings posted yesterday on Above the Law, a well-known legal blog. Every year, U.S. News — which is best known for its annual ranking of undergraduate schools — scores 192 law schools on the basis of selectivity, post-graduation placement success, faculty resources, bar passage and peer and professional assessment scores, according to the survey’s website. While maintaining its membership to the exclusive “Top-14” — a group of schools historically placed at the top of U.S. News’ report — Cornell Law still ranks below the four Ivies that also offer a J.D. program: Yale, Harvard, Columbia and The University of Pennsylvania. This year, Cornell placed between Northwestern and Georgetown — and six spots behind Penn, its closest Ivy competitor.
Cornell is the 19th best university in the world and 11th best university in the United States, according to the World University Ranking 2019 by The Times Higher Education. Cornell is also ranked the last among the Ivy League by U.S. News, taking the 16th spot on the national list.
In the words of the Wall Street Journal, the “rankings emphasize how well a college will prepare students for life after graduation.”
Individual programs within the University received rankings as well, with Cornell ranking seventh in the nation for business and 10th for engineering.
Cornell’s disciplinary policies earned high ratings from a leading campus rights group on Tuesday, topping the list of 53 colleges.
Cornell’s ranking has hovered steadily in the high teens over the past year — it held at 17 from 2012 to 2014, and then dropped to 18th in 2015 before landing at 19th this year.
This year, Cornell ranked last among the Ivies, one spot behind Brown University.
After graduating 33 players in 2009, including 11 starters, the Red football team knew it had some big holes to fill. Apparently, the media is also aware — Cornell was picked to finish sixth, tied with Columbia, in the Ivy League Preseason Media Poll.
