Things to Learn
There are 3 undergraduate schools at Columbia:
- Columbia College (CC), the main one where you can study almost any major
- 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 transfers and other students with unusual backgrounds
The undergraduate schools have different relationships to each other:
- Barnard College (BC), the all women school right across from Columbia University. It has an ambiguous relationship with the University. Though Columbia itself does not count Barnard as part of the University in any official calculation, Barnard self-styles itself as "one of four undergraduate schools within the Columbia University system."
