Q's about Columbia's Core Curriculum from a prospective transfer

Transfer Students

<p>These questions are geared towards successful junior transfers into Columbia, but input from anyone would be appreciated!</p>

<p>How did Columbia's Core Curriculum affect your transfer process? Was it hard to to fulfill all the requirements of the core after transferring in as a junior? Did the school require you to fulfill all of the core requirements or were you given credit for literature/humanities/science courses taken at your old institution?</p>

<p>More broadly, how was your overall transfer experience? Were academics at Columbia significantly different from that of your old institution? Was it difficult to complete your major and take classes you were interested in while also satisfying the requirements of the core?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Bump. I’d appreciate a response to this, too (except I’ll be a sophomore). Maybe we should also post the Q in Columbia’s forum section?</p>

Hopefully we’ll get some answers!</p>

<p>I got almost all my credits transferred from the CC.</p>

<p>Coming from a CC, was this a part of some CC-Columbia program? Did some successfully satisfy the core requirements? And, did you transfer as sophomore or junior?</p>

<p>Sorry and thank you. :-)</p>

<p>I applied as a sohomore transfer. No CC-Columbia programs exist, as far as know. You don’t have to meet core requirements before transferring. You can do that at Columbia.</p>
