Science C1000: Frontiers of Science.
Frontiers of Science is a new one-semester course that integrates
modern science into the Core Curriculum. The course includes lectures and
seminar sections. On Mondays throughout the semester, four of Columbia’s
leading scientists will present a mini-series of three lectures each. During
the rest of the week, senior faculty and Columbia post-doctoral science
fellows (research scientists selected for their teaching abilities) will
lead seminar sections of twenty-two students to discuss the lecture and
its associated readings, plan and conduct experiments, and debate the implications
of the most recent scientific discoveries. Together with two additional
science courses in any natural science department, Frontiers of Science
satisfies the science requirement for Columbia College.
Registration Procedure
