Programs of Study
Planning a Program
During Orientation each first-year student receives a partial schedule for the year.
This schedule includes Literature Humanities as well as Frontiers of Science or University Writing. First-year students are preregistered for either Frontiers of
Science or University Writing in the fall term take the other course in the spring
term). After the advising parts of the Orientation Program are completed, each
student registers for electives and/or additional required courses to complete the
fall term schedule. Suggested programs directed toward professional or graduate
studies are described under Special Programs and serve as guides. All students
should:
- Become thoroughly familiar with the requirements for the degree and with the College regulations;
- Arrange, if possible, to complete certain required Core and major courses by the end of the sophomore year (Contemporary Civilization
C1101 - C1102 and Literature Humanities HUMA C1001 - HUMA C1002 must be completed by the end of the junior year);
and
- Choose a major or concentration during the spring term of the sophomore year.
Students must submit the completed major declaration form on-line or to the
Center for Student Advising. Some majors and concentrations require departmental
approval. A major or concentration may be changed at any time; if a different
major or concentration is decided upon, a new form must be filed.
NOTE: Some majors and concentrations require that certain introductory courses
be completed before the start of the junior year. Students should read carefully the
degree requirements for their proposed major or concentration.

Information for planning a program and for most majors and concentrations is
available on the Columbia College Web site within the Student Academic area.
The Columbia
College Web site’s Academic area includes information on B.A.
requirements, the Core Curriculum, a number of ongoing multimedia projects that
supplement the Core Curriculum, programs of study, special programs, and study
abroad.
The College’s Academic area includes a fully searchable version of the bulletin
course listings, full scheduling information that integrates the University’s on-line Directory of Classes, major advising information, and links to departmental home
pages.
Departmental home pages may contain faculty listings as well as fields of specialization
and/or research; detailed curricular information and on-line instructional
resources (such as course syllabi, multimedia resources, links to research
readings, library resources, and other useful sites); and departmental news, events,
and lectures.
