Columbia is highly competitive both in terms of admission and culture. Its acceptance rate is less than 6% with an early decision rate of approximately 15%. On campus, Columbia has a reputation of being a high stress environment. Students must take an average of 4½ classes per semester, more than is required at most other universities. While Columbia has definitely made a commitment to alleviating student stress and increasing student wellness programs over the past few years, it still remains a culture of work-over-play, and competition-over-collaboration. Columbia’s undergraduate program is divided into four colleges: Columbia College, the Fu School of Engineering, the School of General Studies, and (loosely) Barnard College. While Barnard is a separate woman’s-only college, graduates do receive a diploma from Columbia and may take classes and majors at Columbia. Columbia is best known for its business school, its teacher’s college, its law school, and its school of medicine. It prides itself on being a leading liberal arts college that, in reality, uses liberal arts as the core of all of its diverse majors. Among its priorities are establishing direct links between education and job opportunities in order to ensure that its graduates have the best possible chance of earning high-caliber jobs upon graduation.
