Columbia to the Core

The Core Curriculum encourages students to ask questions, to wrestle with enduring books and themes, and to develop independent voices in the context of shared inquiry. Our students, faculty and alumni, and their innovative endeavors, reflect the values of this educational philosophy. They are at the heart of Columbia College.
