How many colleges does Cornell University have?

I'm trying to understand the structure of Cornell University for my college list. How many individual colleges or schools are part of Cornell, and do they each have different focuses or areas of study?

Cornell University is composed of seven undergraduate colleges and schools. Each has a unique focus and offers different majors and areas of study.

1. College of Agriculture and Life Sciences: This college has programs in a diverse range of fields, including food science, biochemistry, environmental engineering, and international agriculture.

2. College of Architecture, Art, and Planning: Here, students can study areas like architecture, urban and regional studies, and fine arts.

3. College of Arts and Sciences: The most broad-based of Cornell's colleges, it offers more than 40 majors in a wide variety of fields, including humanities, physical sciences, and social sciences.

4. Cornell SC Johnson College of Business: This is divided into two schools - the School of Hotel Administration, and the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management.

5. College of Engineering: Offers undergraduate programs in various engineering disciplines including mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering.

6. College of Human Ecology: This college focuses on fields that study human life from a scientific, social, and aesthetic perspective. Fields of study include design and environmental analysis, human development, nutritional sciences, policy analysis and management, etc.

7. School of Industrial and Labor Relations: The school predominantly focuses on human resource and labor relations.

Remember, when you apply, you need to specify which college at Cornell you are applying to, and your decision to apply to that college will prompt a "Why This College" essay specific to that college. This essay allows the admission committee to see if you've fully understood the specific college and if your academic goals align with what that college offers. So research each one thoroughly based on your academic and career interests before making a decision.
