<p>Basically what I'm wondering is whether or not it is possible to be enrolled in SEAS and still take courses in Columbia College (vice-versa)? Also, is it possible to double major, taking one major in SEAS and one in CC? Finally, how easy or difficult is it to transfer from one college into the other one?</p>
<p>It is entirely possible to take a CC class and be enrolled in SEAS. And vice-versa. What prospective students have to realize is that the two colleges while different are completely integrated. There is no distinction when it comes to living, classes, or social opportunities between the two schools. </p>
<p>Having said that, you asked the one difference. If you wish to have a major in SEAS then you must be in SEAS. Likewise for CC. However, note that there are counterparts for some majors. For instance, if you wanted to major in Economics, but was in SEAS, you can major in Financial Engineering (not the same, but you get my drift). Also some majors match up exactly. For instance, there’s a Computer Science major in both CC and SEAS. </p>
<p>It’s not common to transfer from CC to SEAS, but it happens and it’s easier than SEAS to CC. It’s more common for a SEAS student to transfer to CC, but it’s harder because it’s more common.</p>
<p>Thanks, that was quite helpful. Does the same hole true for minors as well (i.e. can you major in engineering at SEAS but minor in something at CC)?</p>
<p>That’s a fairly common question, but unfortunately it’s one of those things that I never was interested in so I don’t remember the answer. However, I’m sure you can find the answer somewhere on the columbia website.</p>
<p>yeah you can definitely minor as many times as you want in either CC or SEAS. If you want to do a CC major and a SEAS major you apply for the 4+1 program if in seas and the 3+2 program in CC and complete the full requirements for both degrees (with a few exceptions) and then graduate with a BA and a BS in 5 years. Some 4-1 and 3-2 students will finish in 4 years or 4.5 years if they get out of the language requirement, come in with some advanced placement, take a moderate to heavy class load and plan well in advance.</p>
