Cornell U/Sloan-Kettering - Graduate Biomedical Sciences

An Academic Partnership:
Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences

Members of the professional staffs of two major medical institutions -- Weill Cornell Medical College and the Sloan-Kettering Institute -- form the core faculty of the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences (WCGSMS). This unique academic partnership was formalized in 1952 under the auspices of the Graduate School of Cornell University at Ithaca and has resulted in the creation of a faculty whose research interests span the full spectrum of biomedicine. This well-integrated faculty has had one unifying mission -- to offer our students a carefully designed, research-oriented graduate program that adheres to the highest standards of graduate education.
