Cornell's small class sizes and?One Course At A Time curriculum?allow you to become part of ?a tight learning community. For 18 days, you become part of a group learning experience, with significant support from your professors and collaboration with your fellow students. You also have a?lab dedicated to your course, so you're never rushed to finish experiments in a narrow window between setup and cleanup?the lab is yours all day, every day.?

In some of the introductory chemistry courses you might have lecture in the morning with lab two afternoons a week. Other courses may be taught in more of a workshop format, where you have a short lecture and then immediately go to the lab to get some practical experience with the topic.
