A New Approach to Business Education
Step into the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, where we are contributing to a new era of business, one that raises the standard and transforms industries for the better. At the heart of our approach is our commitment to sustainability, ethics, and excellence that transcends traditional boundaries. Join us as we advance knowledge, work for the greater good, and empower the purposeful business leaders of tomorrow.
Our Stance Against Hatred
The SC Johnson College of Business remains committed to the ideals and values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. We are aligned with President Pollack’s messages denouncing terrorism and condemning remarks that glorify it. In the face of antisemitic messages threatening violence to our Jewish community at Cornell, the university has taken proactive measures to ensure that our students and community members are safe. Threats of violence are absolutely intolerable, and we are working closely with law enforcement to ensure that those who make such threats are held accountable. As a college, our community remains committed to respectful, civil discourse, and our immediate focus is on keeping the community safe. The SC Johnson College of Business and each of our three schools echo Cornell University President Pollack’s messages to support one another in standing against hatred.
Three Top Business Schools United in Purpose
With massive expertise in teaching and research across our three schools, we are driven by timeless Cornell values of practical impact for people and society. Our college embodies the value that emerges when diverse minds unite, collaboration supersedes competition, and the pursuit of excellence is fused with our commitment to the greater good.
