The Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management is a unit within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The Dyson School houses Cornell's undergraduate business school as well as graduate education in applied economics. The school focuses on business, agribusiness, environmental and resource economics, and international and development economics offering a Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics and Management and three graduate degrees, M.S., M.P.S. and Ph.D, in Applied Economics and Management. In 2015, the department has 56 full-time faculty and 9 lecturers or adjunct faculty teaching 104 graduate students and 735 undergraduates. The program was originally named the Department of Agricultural Economics, was renamed Applied Economics and Management in 2002, and was renamed most recently in 2010 in honor of Charles H. Dyson following a US $25 million donation by his family, including son John S. Dyson, '65.

Academics

The Dyson School is primarily housed in Warren Hall.

The department offers one undergraduate major, Applied Economics and Management, which is an AACSB accredited undergraduate business program.[1] In fact, U.S. News & World Report ranked Dyson's business program #10 in its 2016 rankings of top undergraduate business programs.[2] In addition, BusinessWeek's 2014 "Best Undergraduate Business Schools" rankings placed Cornell as the third best program in the country (a ranking it has held for 3 years). Historically, the program has undergone a series of developments regarding the focus of its studies. Originally conceived as an agriculturally-centered program, it has developed over the years to focus on both resource economics, applied economics, international and development economics, as well as general management.

Undergraduate students may choose one of eleven specializations: Accounting, Agribusiness Management, Applied Economics, Business Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Environment, Energy, and Resource Economics, Finance, Food Industry Management, International Trade and Development, Marketing, and Strategy. Graduate students may choose from four subject areas: Environmental, Energy, and Resource Economics; Food and Agricultural Economics; International and Development Economics; and Management.

Business School
International Rankings


In the Fall of 2015, the school had 92 incoming freshmen, and approximately 110 transfer students, more than half of whom come from other colleges at Cornell. The admittance rate for freshmen, being one of the most selective at Cornell University, was 7%.[3]

Finances

The program is endowed by a $25 million gift from the Dyson family. It also receives annual state appropriations through the SUNY budget. As is the case with all students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, in-state students pay a lower tuition than do out-of-state students. The program is based in Warren Hall which is owned and maintained by New York State. The unit also helps provide farms and businesses in New York with useful information regarding agricultural economics as a part of Cornell's cooperative extension program. The school publishes an annual New York Economic Handbook as well as Extension Bulletins[4]
