18 The following courses are required by medical schools: • One year of calculus for some schools • One year of physics, with lab • One year of general chemistry, with lab • One year of biology, with lab (BME labs will qualify) • One year of organic chemistry, with lab • One year of English • Biochemistry or additional biology (required by some schools) For further information, please consult the Office of Preprofessional Advising at 212-854-8722 or preprofessional@columbia. Pre-Law Students fulfilling Engineering’s curriculum are well prepared to apply to and enter professional schools of law, which generally do not require any specific prelaw course work. Schools of law encourage undergraduate students to complete a curriculum characterized by rigorous intellectual training involving relational, syntactical, and abstract thinking. A sound education is best for most prelaw students. While selecting courses, keep in mind the need to hone your writing skills, your communication skills, and your capacity for logical analysis. Courses in history, political science, economics, statistics, and anthropology help students understand the structure of society and the problems of social ordering with which the law is concerned. The study of philosophy, literature, fine arts, foreign languages, and other cultures imparts familiarity with traditions of universal thought and trends that influence legal developments nationally and internationally. The examination of human behavior through sociology and psychology will aid a prospective law student in understanding the types and effects of behavior to which the law relates. The systematic ordering of abstractions and ideas in logic and the sciences contributes much to a prelaw student’s ability to analyze, understand, and rationally organize his or her thoughts. Finally, it is useful in some fields of law for a student to have a fundamental knowledge of technology, engineering, computers, and accounting. New York State Initial Certification in Adolescence Education Grades 7–12 for Teachers of Mathematics and the Sciences or in Childhood Education Grades 1–6 Barnard College Education Program 335-336 Milbank Hall 3009 Broadway New York, NY 10027 Phone: 212-854-7072 education.barnard.edu The Barnard Education Program provides courses leading to certification to teach in New York State (with reciprocal agreements with 41 other states) at either the elementary or secondary level. Students gain experience and develop skills in urban school classrooms. Interested students should apply for admission to the program and supply an essay and letters of recommendation no later than the first Monday in October of the junior year. Course work required includes courses in psychology and education, including practicum and student teaching, totaling 23–26 points of credit depending on level of certification sought. Certification to teach mathematics requires 36 points in mathematics. Pure science courses required are: 36 points in the sciences, of which 15 must be in the area of the certification sought: chemistry, biology, physics, or Earth science. Application deadline is the first Monday in October of the student’s junior year. Students who plan to study abroad during their junior year should apply during the fall semester of their sophomore year. Students should decide on their interest in teacher certification by the end of the first year in order to start course work in the sophomore year. Joint Programs School of Law Each year Columbia Engineering may nominate two highly qualified juniors for a joint program with the Columbia University School of Law, enabling students to complete the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Jurisprudence in six years instead of seven. Juniors should speak to the Office of Preprofessional Advising in the fall semester to express their interest and prepare to take the LSAT by February of their junior year. The application process is conducted March through April. School of International and Public Affairs Columbia Engineering and the School of International and Public Affairs offer a joint program enabling a small number of students to complete the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of International Affairs in five years instead of six. Not only an excellent academic record but also maturity, fluency in an appropriate foreign language, and pertinent experience will determine admission to this program. For more information, please contact your advising dean. Registered Programs The New York State Department of Education requires that this bulletin include a listing of registered programs, both undergraduate and graduate (see chart on page 19). Enrollment in other than registered or otherwise approved programs may jeopardize a student’s eligibility for certain student aid awards. The letter “X” or the name of a degree on the chart indicates that a program is registered with the New York State Department of Education. engineering 2011–2012
