Cornell SC Johnson College of Business

More than 150 years of excellence in education, research and public engagement have given Cornell a unique history that is rich with innovation and tradition. Choosing a degree program at Cornell University opens doors to world-class academics, renowned faculty, extensive resources, and a vast alumni network. Cornell is host to the only CEMS program in the United States.

CEMS at Cornell is offered in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and situated in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business. The CEMS MIM is offered in conjunction with the Dyson School’s MPS in Applied Economics and Management (AEM). You’ll complete all of the required coursework for the MPS degree, including your industry-focused concentration, while also fulfilling the requirements for the CEMS Master in International Management (MIM). Our CEMS students spend one semester abroad in either the first or second semester of the program. 

Each MPS AEM student chooses one of six concentrations and completes coursework alongside the CEMS MIM coursework:

• Behavioral Finance
• Behavioral Marketing
• Business of Food
• International and Development Economics
• Sustainable Business and Economic Policy
• Technology Management

While the majority of the courses taken in the MPS AEM/CEMS are from the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, In light of Cornell’s founding principle: “Any student, any study,” our students are invited to explore other coursework across Cornell and learn from students in other academic fields. 

Earning both the MPS in AEM and the CEMS MIM gives you access to an even broader range of coursework, experiential learning experiences, faculty interaction, and student support resources. Students become part of a worldwide network of Cornellians and CEMS alumni.

Incoming CEMS exchange students at Cornell can expect to be treated the same as any Cornell student, with access to academics, activities, and events across our large and diverse university. Cornell's main campus in Ithaca, NY provides all of the experiences of a traditional American college campus, set against the backdrop of a beautiful, welcoming city. 

CEMS courses are offered from the three schools of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business and CEMS students will find themselves in courses with graduate and undergraduate business students, and students from other academic programs across the university. Our faculty are leaders in economic and business research and we also value practitioners in the classroom who bring industry experience.

CEMS students build strong bonds and lifelong memories with fellow students in the CEMS cohort while experiencing academic and personal growth at an Ivy League institution.
