Dyson School of Applied Economics & Management

The Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University focuses on business and economic issues that matter. Dyson’s flexible curriculum is taught by faculty experts in the economics of energy, food, developing economies, and international trade, as well as finance, marketing, accounting, and strategy, making Dyson graduates poised to seize the 21st century’s emerging business opportunities. And as members of one of the smallest, most selective 4-year undergraduate business programs in the U.S., Dyson’s in-demand students work closely in a non-cutthroat culture to achieve results.

It is a small program within a very large university. This means that in addition to the business related opportunities in Dyson, students also have the ability to utilize all of the other strong programs and vast resources at Cornell.
