<p>Just curious, I've read a lot about the school and their admissions rates when it comes to undergrad and graduate programs through the GSAS. But what about the master's programs offered through the school of continuing education? I've often read that master's programs offered through CE departments are often watered down, and have severely less strict admissions criteria than other departments. Is this true w.r.t. Columbia? Can anyone shed any light on this?</p>
