Columbia University is a dynamic institution, attracting new faculty and introducing new courses every year. As a result, the curriculum may vary slightly from year to year. In some of the core areas, we require students to take a specific course. In others, we give students options among different course offerings that meet the core learning requirement. However, our commitment is to ensure that all students have access to courses that cover each of these core curriculum areas (30.5 points):
