Continuing Education and Special Programs (CE/SP) and the School of General Studies (GS) are located in Lewisohn Hall.
The School of General Studies (GS) is the undergraduate college for returning nontraditional students who have interrupted their education for at least one year after high school or during college and have now chosen to return to higher education to complete a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. In addition to returning students, GS has long had a commitment to supporting nontraditional students who must attend part time for compelling personal or professional reasons. General Studies students are fully integrated into the academic life of Columbia University, taking classes with peers in the other undergraduate college and sharing the same Arts and Sciences faculty.
GS is also home to the Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program, a certificate program for college graduates who want to pursue a career in medicine but have taken none or only some of the basic science courses required for admission to schools of medicine or allied health.
Continuing Education students at Columbia enroll in university undergraduate and graduate courses offered by over 40 academic departments and programs in the Arts and Sciences. Students may design their own programs of study through the Elective Programs option, focus their study on a given subject through the foreign language, creative writing, and Second-Majors Program options, or enroll in a structured postbaccalaureate program in business, psychology, or classics. Other programs offered through Continuing Education include the Summer Session, Information Technology programs, a summer program for High School students, and study abroad programs in Paris, Berlin, Beijing, and Scandiano, Italy. The American Language Program has offered English-as-a-second-language instruction since 1911. Each year, more than 2,000 students from over 60 countries enroll in intensive full-time and part-time English Courses.
Lewisohn also houses the Language Resource Center and the Learning Center, a walk-in tutoring facility.
