The Columbia University Center for Career Education helps undergraduate and graduate students, and alumni learn about the relationship between what they do at Columbia and life after graduation, develop the career competencies required beyond classroom knowledge, understand the forces at play in the global market and the new economy, find career opportunities related to their personal and professional objectives, and through their life’s work make a difference in the world.
Columbia College is a relatively small, coeducational, residential college situated in a large and complex university. These circumstances work to the advantage of our students, who often enjoy the individual, personal attention that only a small college can provide and, at the same time, attend classes that offer an impressive array of intellectual challenges and rewards.
Involvement in college life supports student success inside the classroom and in the larger world. The Division of Student Affairs contributes to the academic missions of The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) and Columbia College by providing services designed to support students' academic goals.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions serves Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering & Applied Science.
