Founded in 1868 by Andrew White and Ezra Cornell as an institution where "any person can find instruction in any study," Cornell University today encompasses thirteen undergraduate, graduate, and professional colleges and schools. Cornell is a unique combination of public and private divisions, being both a private, nonsectarian university and the land-grant institution of New York State. The first university in the eastern United States to admit women, Cornell currently enrolls 13,300 undergraduates and 6,200 graduate and professional students, served by a faculty of 2,300 teachers and researchers. Cornell is home to the Transportation Infrastructure Research Center and the Cornell Local Roads Program, New York State’s Local Technical Assistance Program center.
