Basic information and contact details for Cornell University: Johnson

institution

Johnson Cornell University, also known as the Samuel Curtis (SC) Johnson Graduate School of Management is the graduate business school of SC Johnson College of Business at Cornell University, a private Ivy League university headquartered in Ithaca, New York.

Established in 1946 as the School of Business and Public Administration, the school gained its current name in 1984 after a $20 million donation from S.C. Johnson & Son founder Samuel Curtis Johnson. At the time this was the largest gift ever given to any business school in the world.

The school is housed in a 19th century high Victorian Gothic building known as Sage Hall, central to Cornell’s main campus. Sage includes a trading floor, an executive lounge, a management library, a cafe, student and faculty lounges, a parlour, 38 breakout rooms, two phone booths, showers, shoe shining, and a dry cleaning out-service. Each doctoral student is provided their own office and MBA students are given a locker.

The Boas Trading Room provides real-time stock quotes, international data feeds, and financial analysis software valued at more than $1.8 million.

The two-year full-time MBA programme sees students complete their compulsory core models early, in an intense first semester, before specialising in the second semester.

There is a week-long maths boot camp before the course for those who do not have a business background. Orientation involves a two-week leadership course ending in the Johnson Outdoor Experience (JOE), two-days of adventure activities in the foothills of the Finger Lakes, a group of lakes in Central New York.
