CU class prefixes...

<p>What do they mean? I assume the ones that start with "G" are graduate courses, and "BC" are Barnard College courses (?) but I'm clueless about the rest.</p>

<p>20 views and no one has an explanation??? :/</p>

<p>Can you give us a little more information, perhaps some examples of what you’re talking about?</p>

<p>six years at columbia and i still haven’t completely figured this out…the ones i’ve gathered so far though:
C: columbia college
E: SEAS
BC: barnard
F: General studies (usually afternoon/night classes)
W: I have no idea what this one means but it’s the prefix of alot of core classes so my guess is that it is for core classes
G: Graduate school of arts and sciences
J: Graduate school of journalism
P: Graduate school of public health
M: College of physicians and surgeons
…and so many more…you can probably guess a bunch of them but if you are confused about a specific one feel free to ask</p>

<p>I’m really bored so here’s a few more:</p>

<p>W = interdepartmental
C = College
E = engineering
V = Columbia + Barnard interdepartmental
U = SIPA
G = Graduate school of arts and sciences
B = Business
J = journalism</p>

<p>others which have not yet been explained will probably not be relevant, so don’t bother.</p>

<p>sorry to take over this thread, but does anyone know how I can order a hard copy of the CC bulletin (with all the course listings in it)? It’s just I prefer books to the electronic versions.</p>

<p>As well, when will the 2009-2010 edition be released?</p>

<p>thanks a million</p>

<p>welcome to the 21st century…i think reading the bulletin online is a good place to start getting used to reading things on the computer because that has become pretty common nowadays</p>

<p>i remember when i was applying to college (in 2002) i had asked columbia to send me a viewbook…it arrived a couple weeks before i was accepted ED. Also, back then you could pick up a booklet with all the course listings in it and there were stacks of the bulletin all over the place.</p>

<p>There were hard copies of the bulletin available at Days of Campus</p>

<p>^for free?</p>

<p>Yes 10char</p>
