Columbia University, Pre-College Programs

Columbia University’s Pre-College Programs inspire the next generation of global leaders to use their education to develop innovative solutions for the most pressing global challenges. We prepare students with the academic and social skills they need to successfully navigate their college experience with purpose and passion. 

Students are encouraged to think logically, independently, critically, and creatively. Even more important than the particular knowledge participants gain in any of our courses, is the ability to adopt a global mindset to challenge the status quo and create a smarter, healthier and more equitable society.
