The Columbia Summer Sessions attract a diverse and motivated group of young people to New York City every year. Taking classes at Columbia provides more than the benefits of a superlative academic experience. You will have the chance to immerse yourself in a new academic culture while getting ahead by taking classes to fill a gap in your current curriculum. Summer study is also a great way to review topics and subjects that you may have struggled with previously and can improve your transcripts and academic record.

Note for International Students
If you would like to apply to the Summer Sessions as a visiting student and are not an American citizen, you are welcome to do so as a visiting graduate or undergraduate student. Because of visa requirements, international students may not apply as high school visiting students.
