Each year we receive national recognition for the quality of our academic programs, professors, and post-graduate preparation. With a wide variety of majors offered and unparalleled flexibility for athletes to secure internships and research, it's no wonder that Cornell College was recognized as #1 in Iowa and 71st among all liberals arts colleges in a Forbes Magazine survey of over 4,000 undergraduate institutions looking at student satisfaction, post-graduate success, debt incurred, and other student-centered metrics.
