About the School of Continuing Education

Cornell University's School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions (SCE) serves as Cornell's gateway to lifelong learning, providing traditional and non-traditional learners alike with innovative, flexible, and accessible educational opportunities that transform lives, advance careers, and positively impact communities around the world.

Dating back to 1876, Cornell SCE designs flexible programs tailored to help individuals achieve academic, personal, and professional success. SCE was described by Cornell President Jacob Gould Schurman in his 1892 report to trustees as an "integral part of the university," and was one of the first official summer programs offered in the United States.

In partnership with Cornell schools and colleges and with eCornell, SCE offers:

* Summer Session/Winter Session courses for credit on campus, off campus, and online

* Precollege programs

* Part-time study for visiting students, year-round

In addition, SCE is launching a new online part-time bachelor's degree program for non-traditional students, working closely with Cornell's Provost, the Vice Provost for External Education, the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, and an advisory board of Cornell faculty members. The degree will draw heavily upon existing expertise and resources of Cornell faculty and eCornell to ensure a high-quality educational experience.

SCE students include matriculated Cornell students, as well as visiting precollege, undergraduate, and graduate students from around the world; Cornell faculty, staff, and alumni; area residents; working adults and community college graduates; military service members and veterans; incarcerated individuals; students in Indigenous communities; farmworkers, and others with diverse educational backgrounds and paths to higher education.

In Academic Year 2022-23, SCE mounted more than 400 classes and programs, enrolled, and registered more than 6,000 students.
