Undergraduate Schools

Columbia College

Columbia College students typically declare their major in the spring of sophomore year during the time frame scheduled by the College. Declaration is done through the Center for Student Advising website. CC students must also complete the College's Core Curriculum. Questions about these requirements should be directed to the advisors at the Center for Student Advising in Lerner Hall.

 

Pre-medical Concentration

Students must complete a minimum of 15 points in history. There are no distribution or seminar requirements.

 

School of General Studies 

General Studies students may declare a major or concentration by submitting a Major Declaration Form to the Office of the GS Dean of Students. A program of study should then be planned with a member of the UNDED. Note that unlike Columbia College, GS requires a major for graduation; a concentration alone is not sufficient. GS Forms are available in 403 Lewisohn.

GS/JTS Dual Degree Program

Students in the JTS dual degree program may transfer up to 12 credits worth of history courses for a history major following the normal procedures and rules for transferring credits. No more than 6 credits can be applied to the specialization, as with all other transfers of credit.

 

The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science

Students earn a minor in history by completing a minimum of 15 points; transfer or study-abroad credits may not be applied. There are no distribution or seminar requirements. Major and concentration requirements for students in the 4-1 program and the 3-2 program with Columbia College are the same as those for Columbia College. 

School of Continuing Education

Requirements for students in the Second Majors Program are the same as those for students in Columbia College.
