CU Student Programs

CTICE’s programming for Columbia University students use community-based learning to educate students for lives of social responsibility and civic engagement. Programming for students focuses on two areas: (1) for-credit courses and (2) co-curricular programming, including the Engaged Entrepreneurship program.

  • The First-Year Design Course, which is required for all SEAS undergraduates
  • Interdisciplinary courses, including V3310: “Science and Technology in Urban Environments” and W3010: “Science, Technology and Society”
  • E4998: “Managing Technological Innovation and Entrepreneurship” -- an advanced engineering course required of all undergraduates pursuing the minor in entrepreneurship

Columbia currently offers up to 30 credits of community-based learning courses in partnership with local not-for-profit groups, businesses, schools, and government agencies.
