International Research Intern Program
The International Research Internship Program (IRIP) offers qualified international students — undergraduate or graduate — the opportunity to conduct research on campus under the direction of a member of the Cornell faculty.
The program requires prior approval from the faculty member in question; the department chair; and the dean of the relevant college. The decision about student participation in IRIP rests with the deans.

Students who are accepted to this program must be registered by the School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions. An administrative fee will be assessed.

More broadly, Cornell offers several options to individuals who wish to learn or conduct research at Cornell for a limited period of time (typically three to 12 months, but as many as 24 months for non-degree graduate students accepted through the Graduate School and affiliated with a graduate field) without intending to obtain a Cornell degree.
