Introduction

Welcome to the 2010 Columbia University Summer Sessions.

The Summer Sessions provide a wide variety of undergraduate- and graduate-level courses for matriculated Columbia students, visiting students from across the nation, as well as new and continuing nondegree students.

Approximately 80 percent of the students enrolled in summer courses are from one of the undergraduate colleges at Columbia University, taking courses to fulfill major and core requirements. The Summer Sessions offer fascinating, challenging courses taught by Columbia and visiting faculty. Summer students have access to a state-of-the-art student center, gym, and recreational facilities, as well as one of the largest library collections in the nation.
