Other Campus Academic Partners

The Office of the Provost also provides strategic guidance and direction to the following partners on campus who contribute to supporting our institutional academic mission:

Connect with Our Five Schools

Humanities and Sciences

Bolster your talents with big-picture questions, problem-solving skills, and insights that employers crave and the world needs. Build a breakthrough mindset. Join IC graduates—renowned scholars, humanitarians, and scientists—who are making their mark at Oxfam, NASA, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, among many others.
Communications

From day one, you’ll be on – on set, on camera, on point. Find inspiration in our award-winning media outlets (ICTV, WICB Radio, "The Ithacan"). Develop your talents with industry-leading mentors. Connect your career goals in our global professional networks. With more majors than most communications schools, you’ll explore and shape the stories that inform and influence the future. 
Business

Forge your path in our innovative community of bold entrepreneurs, savvy investors, and global business leaders. Discover world-class resources, networks, and MBA-style undergrad opportunities. Join IC grads in making your mark at places like KPMG, JPMorgan, Amazon, Major League Baseball, and Nielsen—or launch a startup of your own.
Health Sciences & Human Performance

Carve out a rewarding and in-demand career pathway in health and wellness. You’ll grow your skills in classes taught by expert faculty. With hands-on training, you’ll actively participate in client care, treating individuals and helping communities live healthy and satisfying lives. You’ll collaborate across disciplines—and find a sense of true community—emerging as a prepared and inspired professional.   ​
Music, Theatre, and Dance

Join our inclusive community of innovative thinkers, performers, and trailblazers collaborating to push the performing arts forward. Here, in conservatory style programs that are grounded in the liberal arts, you’ll feel rapport and reinvention in the air—in our classrooms, in practice rooms and on and off our stages. Through multidisciplinary training and exposure, you’ll forge your career as you create a more equitable and sustainable tomorrow.
