Cornell College
About
Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, is renowned for its distinctive One Course At A Time block calendar, which allows students to immerse themselves in a single subject for eighteen days before moving on to the next. This intensive academic format fosters particularly strong programs in the sciences, pre-professional tracks, and creative writing, all taught in collaborative, discussion-based classes on a beautiful hilltop campus listed entirely on the National Register of Historic Places. The student experience is highly active and tight-knit, defined by a supportive campus culture, Division III athletics, and a vibrant arts scene. Crucially, this unique block schedule gives students the flexibility to embark on month-long internships, field research, or study abroad experiences without ever falling behind in other coursework.
