Columbia College
From understanding the forces of globalization to grasping life through the prism of a gene or a molecule to expressing human yearning through the arts, Columbia College challenges students to think critically and develop intellectual skills.
One of the world’s premier liberal arts colleges, Columbia College is distinguished by a singular, intensive Core Curriculum and provides all the benefits of a small college and all the reach of a great research university. Students have close contact with prize-winning and path-breaking faculty, a comprehensive advising system and a community where individuals are able to interact with their peers in a deep, meaningful way both inside and outside of the classroom. Students also benefit from close ties with the University’s renowned graduate and professional schools, including law, business, medicine, arts, journalism, and international and public affairs, all while being surrounded by the world’s most exciting city: New York.
