Trustees Of Columbia University In The City Of New York HQ

Columbia's undergraduate curriculum combines the breadth of learning provided by general education courses with the solid mastery of a discipline achieved through a major. Because Columbia is a great research university as well as a small liberal-arts college, students with the will and ability to pursue their majors to the highest levels of scholarly sophistication are free to do so.



In the 21st century, the University is committed to preserving the quest for knowledge as more than simply a practical pursuit. Through its broad range of innovative multidisciplinary programs, and through the earnest exploration of difficult questions, Columbia provides students from the United States and around the world with the depth of understanding and intellectual flexibility they need to respond to the challenges we all will face in the years to come.
