Info
The Columbia University School of General Studies (GS) is a liberal arts college and one of three official undergraduate colleges at Columbia University, situated on the university's main campus in Morningside Heights, New York City. GS is known primarily for its traditional B.A. degree program for non-traditional students (those who have had an academic break of one year or more, or are pursuing dual-degrees). GS is an Ivy League college that offers dual-degree programs with multiple leading universities around the world.GS is fully integrated into the traditional undergraduate curriculum at Columbia and shares the same courses, Core Curriculum, faculty, and degree as Columbia College.
GS offers dual degree programs with Sciences Po in France, the City University of Hong Kong, Trinity College Dublin (University of Dublin) in Ireland, and List College of the Jewish Theological Seminary. GS is the historical home to dual-degree programs at Columbia University, and the Post-baccalaureate Premedical Program.
Numerous GS students have gone on to win prestigious fellowships, including the Rhodes Scholarship, the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and the Fulbright Scholarship. In the last 7 years (until 2017), GS has been the only undergraduate college at Columbia to produce any Rhodes Scholars. Notable alumni include Nobel Prize winners Simon Kuznets and Baruj Benacerraf, as well as Isaac Asimov, J.D. Salinger, Amelia Earhart, and Princess Firyal of Jordan.
