<p>I wanted to get something cleared up.
Columbia COLLEGE is basically the undergraduate part of the school.
Columbia UNIVERSITY is the grad school.
is this correct? Because initially, I thought one was a knockoff of another. lol.</p>
<p>Also, if i transfer into Columbia as a junior, I'd be going to Columbia College, right?
They don't have a formal u-grad business program, but from what I hear, its still better than 99% of the other u-grad biz schools.
After all, it IS Columbia.</p>
<p>columbia university is the overarching university framework with various component schools.</p>
<p>there are three undergraduate schools - columbia college, school of engineering and applied science, school of general studies; and then there is barnard college a lib art school for women affiliated.</p>
<p>there is columbia college - chicago; a primarily arts school in chicago.</p>
<p>you could go to columbia college or the eng school or gs. if you do not qualify for columbia college you may qualify for gs. if you want eng - you go to the eng school. columbia college and gs have basically the exact same major offerings and courses available with some differences around curriculum, residency and financial aid and some constructed differences around prestige, repute and other intangible concepts. to qualify for columbia college you may not have been out of school for more than 1 year. if you have then you would qualify for general studies. in the end you get a degree from columbia university. the ugrad admissions website has the rest of the nitty gritty. this is from what i can remember.</p>
<p>right. there are 18 graduate schools within columbia university, all of which require that you have an undergraduate degree (a Bachelors) before you can attend. This includes professional schools - Law, Business, Medicine, Social Work - as well as more academic schools like the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.</p>
