  • Oh, this looks interesting. (blu3mo)(blu3mo)

• But I can’t afford the tuition.

  • It’s not like I’m desperate to do it anyway..
  • If that’s the case, it might be more cost-effective to spend a year at Komaba. lol
  • I would be happy if I could skip a grade like Yanai Soukoukai20220713, is it possible?
    • In theory, you should be able to skip some classes with IB credits.
    • I want to look into how realistic this is.

• CC is 3-2, SEAS is 4-1.

• The 4-1 Program provides Columbia Engineering (SEAS) students with the opportunity to expand their education in liberal arts through an additional year of study at Columbia College (CC), including the completion of a CC major or concentration. At the end of the fifth year of study, students receive a bachelor of arts degree from CC in addition to a bachelor of science degree from SEAS. Admitted students are eligible for a fifth year of housing and financial aid. Students who are accepted and decide to matriculate into the 4-1 Program are required to be in residence at Columbia College for two semesters and complete at least 31 credits during their fifth year. A maximum of 93 points can be transferred from the B.S. degree to the B.A. degree.

  • The route to obtain both a BS and BA degree.
    • Wow, this sounds really appealing. (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo)

• Application Procedure

• Students apply for the 4-1 program during the spring of their junior year, but interested students should meet with their advising dean at the Center for Student Advising (CSA) during their first or second years to learn more about the program and declare their interest. Advisers will review requirements for admission into the program and assist with academic planning.

  • I’m going for it. (blu3mo)

• Applications are due in late April and should be submitted directly to the CSA. Applicants will meet with the person in charge of the 4-1 Program to review the application materials in detail. Applicants are notified of the tentative admissions decision in the summer after junior year. The official admissions notification occurs during the summer after senior year.
