16 a B.S. degree from SEAS within five years. Students complete the requirements for the liberal arts degree along with a pre-engineering course of study in three years at their college and then complete at Columbia. Combined Plan students are required to complete all SEAS requirements within four consecutive semesters. Please note that no change of major is guaranteed. Guaranteed admission into The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science’s undergraduate Combined Plan Program is offered to applicants who have met the following requirements: 1. have been enrolled at an affiliated school for at least the past two years; 2. have received an overall GPA and a pre-engineering GPA of 3.0 or higher; 3. have received three favorable recommendations, from the Combined Plan liaison and both a science and a math instructor at the home institution; 4. have successfully completed the course load stipulated by the articulation agreement between the home institution and Columbia, which includes (a) the science and math prerequisite courses listed in the Pre-Combined Plan Curriculum Guide and (b) the major and distribution requirements prescribed by the home institution. Admission to SEAS at the end of the junior year is guaranteed for those students who have a grade-point average of 3.0 or better; are recommended by the liaison officer; and have completed the appropriate preparation successfully. Another available option is the 4-2 B.S. degree program. This is designed to allow students to graduate from their liberal arts college with a B.A. degree and then transfer to SEAS to complete a B.S. degree in two years. Students should have followed a related course of study at their liberal arts college. Requirements for guaranteed admission to the 4-2 B.S. degree program are the same as above, with the additional requirement that if the applicant has already graduated from the affiliated school, he or she must apply to the Combined Plan Program within one year of graduating. For further information on the 3-2 B.A./B.S. program and the 4-2 B.S. program, you are encouraged to e-mail your questions to: combinedplan@ columbia.edu. You may also call 212- 854-2522 or contact Combined Plan Coordinators, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 212 Hamilton Hall, Mail Code 2807, 1130 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027. The 4-2 M.S. program is designed to allow students to complete an M.S. degree at SEAS in two years after completion of a B.A. degree at one of the affiliated schools. This program will allow students the opportunity to take undergraduate engineering courses if necessary. Please contact the Office of Graduate Student Services, The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, 524 S. W. Mudd, Mail Code 4708, 500 West 120th Street, New York, NY 10027. You may also e-mail questions to seasgradmit@columbia.edu. The following colleges are affiliated with SEAS in the Combined Plan; admission requirements and other information may be obtained from them or by contacting the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Required courses not completed by this time are detailed as deficiencies and must be completed during summer session or carried as overload courses during the final two years of study. Having chosen their program major, students in their third and fourth year are assigned to an adviser in the department in which the program is offered. In addition to the courses required by their program, students must continue to satisfy certain distributive requirements, choosing elective courses that provide sufficient content in engineering sciences and engineering design. The order and distribution of the prescribed course work may be changed with the adviser’s approval. Specific questions concerning course requirements should be addressed to the appropriate department or division. The Vice Dean’s concurrent approval is required for all waivers and substitutions. Tau Beta Pi The Tau Beta Pi Association, a national engineering honor society, was founded in 1885 “to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges.” Columbia’s chapter, New York Alpha, is the ninth oldest and was founded in 1902. Many Columbia buildings have been named for some of the more prominent chapter alumni: Charles Fredrick Chandler, Michael Idvorsky Pupin, Augustus Schermerhorn, and, of course, Harvey Seeley Mudd. Undergraduate students whose scholarship places them in the top eighth of their class in their next-to-last year or in the top fifth of their class in their last college year are eligible for membership consideration. These scholastically eligible students are further considered on the basis of personal integrity, breadth of interest both inside and outside engineering, adaptability, and unselfish activity. Taking Graduate Courses as an Undergraduate With the faculty adviser’s approval, a student may take graduate courses while still an undergraduate in the School. Such work may be credited toward one of the graduate degrees offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, subject to the following conditions: (1) the course must be accepted as part of an approved graduate program of study; (2) the course must not have been used to fulfill a requirement for the B.S. degree and must be so certified by the Dean; and (3) the amount of graduate credit earned by an undergraduate cannot exceed 15 points. Undergraduates may not take CVN courses. The Bachelor of Science Degree Students who complete a four-year sequence of prescribed study are awarded the Bachelor of Science degree. The general requirement for the Bachelor of Science degree is the completion of a minimum of 128 academic credits with a minimum cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C) at the time of graduation. The program requirements, specified elsewhere in this bulletin, include the First Year–Sophomore course requirements, the Junior-Senior major departmental requirements, and technical and nontechnical elective requirements. Students who wish to transfer points of credit may count no more than 68 transfer points toward the degree, and must satisfy the University’s residence requirements by taking at least 60 points of credit at Columbia. The bachelor’s degree in engineering and applied science earned at Columbia University prepares students to enter a wide range of professions. Students are, however, encouraged to consider graduate work, at least to the master’s degree level, which is increasingly considered necessary for many professional careers. The Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), an organization formed by the major engineering professional societies, accredits university engineering programs on a nationwide basis. Completion of an accredited program of study is usually the first step toward a professional engineering license. Advanced study in engineering at a graduate school sometimes presupposes the completion of an accredited program of undergraduate study. The following undergraduate programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology: chemical engineering, civil engineering, Earth and environmental engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, and mechanical engineering. For a complete listing of all programs registered with the State of New York, including ABET programs, see page 20. The 4-1 Program at Columbia College Students who are admitted as first-year students to The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and subsequently complete the four-year program for the Bachelor of Science degree, have the opportunity to apply for admission to either Columbia College or Barnard College and, after one additional year of study, receive the Bachelor of Arts degree. The program will be selective, and admission will be based on the following factors: granting of the B.S. at SEAS at the end of the fourth year; fulfillment of the College Core requirements by the 17 SEAS 2008–2009
