Columbia University School of General Studies

Columbia University School of General Studies is an undergraduate school at Columbia University for non-traditional students. The school is unique in that it is the only such college in the Ivy League. While both Brown University and Yale University have similar programs, they are much smaller and integrated into their "traditional" undergraduate programs rather than existing as their own academic unit. Students have the option of attending part-time or full-time, with similar numbers choosing each option. While all courses are shared with Columbia's other undergraduate schools, the presence of GS has caused Columbia to greatly expand the number of courses which meet in the evening. The School of General Studies, commonly referred to as GS, awards both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. It is also home to Columbia's Postbaccalaureate Premedical Pre-health Program, which is the largest and oldest in the United States.
