“I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.”
Flexible Electives
R.F. Smith School Master of Engineering students design their program of study in one or more focus areas. You’ll learn the context of technology.
The Master of Engineering program is more than just technical instruction. Sure, there are specialized courses. However, societal problems are rich and multifaceted. Technology is only part of the formula to change the world. Students choose their electives from anywhere on campus to give them the tools and perspectives they need to make a positive impact. Taking courses in law, business, public policy, art, history, or language are all encouraged at Cornell. Our Master of Engineering program fully embraces the “…any person … any study” ethos that makes Cornell a special place.
