BIOEE 1781: Introduction to Evolution and Diversity

This course is now full and we are no longer accepting applications. Sign up for email alerts to learn about Winter Session courses.

Precollege admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis, which means that we will review and act on complete applications and registration requests as they are received. Because this application process requires a number of steps (outlined below) and many of our courses fill before the deadline, we encourage you to apply as early as possible.

Review application deadlines

Please contact the Cornell University Precollege Studies associate director, Janna Dawn (jlb34@cornell.edu), if you have any questions about this process.
