Welcome Columbia Class of 2013! You've clearly stumbled across our nascent Columbia Wiki, which is a work in progress. Numerous editors and contributors are working hard to populate this wiki with a number of useful, insightful, informative, and generally helpful information.

For now please post questions on the talk page if you don't find what you're looking for. An editor or contributor will do his or her best to answer your query with our collective knowledge as soon as we find time. See you at Days on Campus!

To get started, you might want to read some advice for prefrosh.

Things to Learn

Columbia has 3 undergraduate schools of its own and 1 affiliated college:

  • Columbia College (CC), a coeducational school offering nearly any course of study
  • School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), the engineering school, which is fairly well integrated with CC
  • School of General Studies (GS), the school for "nontraditional" students whose education has been interrupted and other students with unusual backgrounds, including students of JTS and UTS. GS students are generally older than those in CC and SEAS, have life experiences to match, and live in off-campus housing.
  • Barnard College (BC), the women's college across the street from Columbia. It has an ambiguous with the University and other 3 schools. While Barnard is technically an independent school, it styles itself as "one of four undergraduate schools within the Columbia University system," despite having its own administration, faculty, student body, and campus.

The undergraduate schools have different relationships to each other:
