<p>I've been reading a bunch of threads, and the term "The Core" keeps popping up, primarily in sections relating to the "Why Columbia" essay. My question is, what exactly is The Core? I tried looking on their website but I wasn't able to find a page explaining it.</p>

<p>There is much to read but if you have specific questions about the core content there are other threads on CC or you can ask specific questions from the alums/students here</p>
