Cornell is a privately endowed research university and a partner of the State University of New York. As the federal land-grant institution in New York State, we have a responsibility—unique within the Ivy League—to make contributions in all fields of knowledge in a manner that prioritizes public engagement to help improve the quality of life in our state, the nation, the world.
Here at UNLV, we have come together and created one of the most affirmative and dynamic academic environments in the country. UNLV continues to rise in U.S. News & World Report’s annual listing of the nation’s most diverse universities for undergraduates. The university is tied for first in the publication’s annual Best Ethnic Diversity listing.
Since we first opened in 1957, UNLV has undergone an amazing transformation from a small branch college into a thriving urban research institution of more than 30,000 students and 3,300 faculty and staff.
Along the way, the urban land-grant university has become a dynamic resource for one of the country's fastest-growing and most enterprising cities. UNLV's 350-acre main campus, located on the Southern tip of Nevada in a desert valley surrounded by mountains, is home to more than 350 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree programs, all accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
The University of Lausanne is a higher teaching and research insitution composed of seven faculties where approximately 14,000 students and 2,800 researchers work and study.
UNIL is focused on several academic disciplines, especially Medicine, Life Sciences, Geosciences, Environment, Business, Humanities and Social Sciences.
An emphasis is placed on an interdisciplinary approach, with close cooperation between students, teaching staff, and professors.
