About Cornell Engineering, Bowers CIS, Tech Campus

Cornell Engineering is the largest and most prestigious engineering program in the Ivy League. The college is widely recognized for its rigor, commitment to excellence in education and research, and its longstanding legacy of educating students who go on to become leaders.

Cornell Bowers CIS is home to the three academic departments that power the information economy: Computer Science, Information Science and Statistics and Data Science.

• The Department of Computer Science is consistently ranked among the best computer science departments in the U.S. Information Science examines information systems in their social, cultural, economic, historical, legal, and political contexts. Studying technology and the ways in which technology is used is essential to the field.
• Cornell Information Science examines information systems in their social, cultural, economic, historical, legal, and political contexts. Studying technology and the ways in which technology is used is essential to the field. Scholars from our department can be found on Cornell's two campuses: in Gates Hall on the Cornell University campus, located in Ithaca, NY, and at the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island in New York City.
• The Department of Statistics and Data Science’s academic and research programs take advantage of Cornell University's extensive resources, drawing from many colleges and research groups. Specializations in our department are vast and include statistical science, social statistics, and biometry and range from computational statistics and machine learning to statistical methods for astrophysics, genomics, medicine, legal studies, and much more.

Cornell Tech is a revolutionary model for graduate education that fuses technology with business and creative thinking. Cornell Tech brings together like-minded faculty, business leaders, tech entrepreneurs and students in a catalytic environment to produce visionary ideas grounded in significant needs that will reinvent the way we live.
