Summer Term

Introduction

Welcome to the 2009 Columbia University Summer Term.

The Summer Term provides a wide variety of undergraduate- and graduate-level courses for matriculated Columbia students, visiting students from across the nation, as well as new and continuing nondegree students.

Approximately 80 percent of the students enrolled in Summer Term courses are from one of the undergraduate colleges at Columbia University, taking courses to fulfill major and core requirements. The Summer Term offers fascinating, challenging courses taught by Columbia and visiting faculty. Summer Term students have access to a state-of-the-art student center, gym, and recreational facilities, as well as one of the largest library collections in the nation.
