22 agency. Scores that are sent via the “rush” service are sent to us in paper form, which we are no longer able to process. Applicants may submit results of the American College Testing (ACT) examinations in lieu of the SAT, but may not substitute any other examinations for the required SAT Subject Tests. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is required of all applicants whose principal language of instruction has not been English and who have not lived in an English-speaking environment for at least five years. Applicants must be certain when taking standardized tests to have their results reported directly to Columbia University by the testing agency. Students are required to report all standardized testing. The following codes should be used when completing test registration forms: SAT Reasoning, SAT Subject Tests, TOEFL: use code 2111 ACT: use code 2719 Educational Testing Service Rosedale Road Princeton, NJ 08541 Phone: 609-921-9000 www.ets.org American College Testing Program Box 313 Iowa City, IW 52243 Phone: 319-337-1270 www.act.org Test of English as a Foreign Language Box 899 Princeton, NJ 08451 609-771-7100 www.toefl.org International English Language Testing System www.ielts.org Advanced Placement The School gives recognition to the Advanced Placement program. Appropriate placement and credit will be given to students who score according to the School’s criteria (see page 14) in the Advanced Placement examinations given in May by the College Entrance Examination Board. In addition, required courses may be waived on the basis of faculty placement conferences, permitting students with special preparation to advance in prescribed sequences. No credit is given for college courses taken prior to high school graduation, but appropriate placements may be made. C. Prescott Davis Scholars Program Each year, outstanding high school seniors are nominated for selection as C. Prescott Davis Scholars by the Admissions Committee. After a rigorous selection process, the Scholars are chosen to participate throughout their four undergraduate years in academic and co-curricular opportunities, including research with faculty, professional internships, and meetings with world-renowned scholars, innovators, and leaders. Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) and National Opportunity Program (NOP) The Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) is sponsored by the New York State Department of Education and Columbia University. The program is designed for New York State residents who have particular educational and economic needs with regard to admission requirements. HEOP students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who have lived in New York State for one year prior to enrolling in college. HEOP’s individualized counseling and tutoring services help students meet the challenges of a major university and professional school. New students attend an intensive pre-first-year Summer Bridge Program on the Columbia campus. Students in the School’s under-graduate Higher Education Opportunity Program can follow a five-year curriculum which spreads the first and second-year requirements over three years and allows for the inclusion of several extra courses designed to provide academic support. Because of the different pace of this program, students are considered to be making minimum satisfactory progress when they complete 24 points of credit in one academic year. HEOP students’ academic performance is otherwise evaluated by the same standards applied to all undergraduates. HEOP support is available to students wishing to pursue only the Bachelor of Science degree or Columbia’s Combined Plan Program for both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in five years. The National Opportunity Program (NOP) is a replication of the Higher Education Opportunity Program and provides access to a Columbia education for students outside of New York State. Requirements for NOP are the same as those for HEOP, except for the New York State residency requirement. For further information concerning the Engineering School’s Opportunity Programs, contact: Opportunity Programs and Undergraduate Services Columbia University New York, NY 10027 Phone: 212-854-3514 www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/asp/ programs APPLICANTS WITH ADVANCED STANDING (TRANSFER APPLICANTS) Students with strong academic records in pre-engineering programs at two-year community colleges are eligible for sophomore or junior standing in The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science upon transfer to Columbia. Community college students who are considering applying to the School of Engineering and Applied Science are encouraged to complete a course of study similar to the School’s First Year–Sophomore Program. Credit and placement in the School will be determined by the equivalence of the courses taken by the student to those described in this bulletin. The School also accepts applications for transfer into the sophomore or junior year from students in four-year programs at arts and sciences colleges and engineering schools. Transfers, who are guaranteed housing, may enter Columbia only in September and may count no more than 68 points of credit toward the Columbia degree. Transfer students must also satisfy the University’s residence requirements by taking at least 60 points at Columbia. SEAS 2009–2010
Transfer applicants should provide the scores of College Board Examinations as part of their application. Applicants must submit results of the SAT or the American College Testing (ACT) examinations. Results of the SAT Subject Tests are required only if the tests were taken in high school. Students in a non-English–speaking environment and whose primary language of instruction has not been English for at least five years are required to take an English proficiency examination, TOEFL or IELTS. These students must submit the results of at least one of the exams and will be required to take an English placement test on arrival, before registration. Transfer Applications can only be completed online at the Web site of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, at www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/ admissions/aboutapplying/transfer.php. Applications must be received by March 15 for September admission. The Combined Plan Programs The Combined Plan programs at The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science are designed to provide students the opportunity to receive both a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from an affiliated liberal arts college and a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree from Columbia. Details concerning these programs are contained in the section “The Undergraduate Programs’’ of this bulletin. Secondary school students who wish to follow one of the Combined Plan programs at one of the affiliated Combined Plan schools listed on page 19 of this bulletin should apply directly to the affiliated school’s admissions office. Third-year undergraduate students already in a Combined Plan program should apply to the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science Combined Plan Program. The deadlines for applying to these programs, each of which is described in the section “The Undergraduate Programs’’ of this bulletin, are: • February 15 preferred deadline for the 3-2 Combined Plan Prgram • March 14 final deadline for the 3-2 Combined Plan Program • March 15 for the 4-2 Combined Plan B.S. Program • February 15 for the 4-2 Combined Plan M.S. Program For further information on the 3-2 and 4-2 B.S. programs, visit www.engineering. columbia.edu/admissions/cp. You may also contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by phone, at 212-854-2522, or by e-mail at combinedplan@columbia. edu. For further information on the 4-2 M.S. program, contact the Office of Graduate Student Services (see the address on the inside front cover) or phone 212-854-6438. CAMPUS VISITS AND INTERVIEWS Prospective students are encouraged to visit the Columbia campus throughout the year. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions hosts information sessions and campus tours through the Visitors Center, located in 213 Low Library. Group information sessions are conducted by members of the admissions staff and offer the opportunity to learn more about Columbia University’s academic and student life as well as admissions and financial aid. Campus tours immediately follow the information session and are led by a current undergraduate student. Engineering tours, designed to offer prospective students an in-depth look into The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, are led by current Columbia engineering students and are available every Friday at 1:00 p.m., except for holidays. Please note that the Engineering School tour is designed to supplement, but not replace, the Undergraduate Admissions information session and general campus tour. For further information and a detailed schedule of visit opportunities, please go to www. studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/ visiting. Columbia does not conduct interviews on campus. Interviews are instead conducted around the country and the world by the members of the Alumni Representative Committee. The University provides the names of candidates to the Committee, which conducts interviews from October through February. Candidates will be contacted by a Committee member during this time if interviews are available. Candidates should not call or write the Admissions Office to arrange alumni interviews. 23 SEAS 2009–2010
