The New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University[1] (CALS or Ag School) is one of Cornell University's four statutory colleges,[2][3] and is the only agricultural college in the Ivy League.[4][5][6] With enrollment of approximately 3,390 undergraduate and 1,100 graduate students, CALS is Cornell's second-largest undergraduate college and the third-largest college of its kind in the United States.[7][8]
Though part of Cornell, a private Ivy League university, CALS receives funding through The State University of New York [1] to administer New York's cooperative extension program alongside the College of Human Ecology as an essential component of Cornell University's land-grant mission. CALS runs the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York, as well as other facilities across New York State.[9]
In 2007–08, CALS total budget (excluding the Geneva Station) is $283 million, with $96 million coming from tuition and $52 million coming from state appropriations. The Geneva Station budget was an additional $25 million.
