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.

There are 4 undergraduate schools at Columbia:

  • 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 a more ambiguous relationship with the first three schools. Barnard is generally known as "one of four undergraduate schools within the Columbia University system," but it also has a unique faculty, student body, and campus.
