<p>Just wondering, how does the core curriculum affect SEAS?</p>
<p>You have to take around 2/3 of the core.</p>
<p>You have to take either LitHum, CC, or, Major Cultures (which is a very beautiful thing)
Either art hum or music hum
and some courses I'm probably forgetting</p>
<p>Although you get to skip a lot of the core, you still have an engineering core, which involves calc, physics, chem, econ, gateway, stats, and some other things I'm forgetting.</p>
<p>great, thanks for the response</p>
<p>for SEAS requirements, check out the SEAS site

<p>katie is right -- SEAS takes about 2/3 of the CC core and has its own engineering core.</p>
<p>Columbia2002, can you rattle off a few names of works you know are on the Core? Yes, I've heard the things that the admissions office spews, but I don't know if there's anything that I can expect to read.</p>
<p>Knowing that there's a reading list out there somewhere, I googled and found this:</p>
<p>I recall that Columbia has an official reading list somewhere.</p>
