Cornell University estas en Ithaca, New York, United States. Ĝi estas a private land-grant university, receiving annual funding from la State of New York for certain educational missions. Ezra Cornell kaj Andrew Dickson White co-founded ĝin en 1865 by sponsoring a bill en la New York State Legislature to designate ĝin as New York's land grant college. La university estis intended to teach kaj make contributions en all fields of knowledge–from la classics to la sciences kaj from la theoretical to la applied. This goal estis uncommon en 1865. La goal estas stated en Cornell's motto, an 1865 Ezra Cornell quotation: "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction en any study." Since ĝia founding, Cornell has also estis a co-educational, secular institution where admission estas offered irrespective of gender, religion or race.
La university has seven undergraduate colleges kaj seven graduate divisions at ĝia main Ithaca campus, with each college kaj division defining ĝian own admission standards kaj academic programs en near autonomy. La university also administers two satellite medical campuses, one en New York City kaj one en Education City, Qatar. Cornell estas one of two private land grant universities, kaj ĝia seven undergraduate colleges include three state-supported statutory or contract colleges. As a land grant college, ĝi also operates a cooperative extension outreach program en every county of New York.
