Four Year Planning Tools

Columbia’s bachelor degree programs require either 120 or 128 credits. Students should plan to complete 15-16 credits per semester. To assist students with planning their degree completion, four-year planning tools have been created for each undergraduate major program. With assistance from their academic advisor, students may be able to plan for additional experiences such as pursuing a minor, studying abroad, or taking an internship.
