Depending on campus policies, we currently anticipate being able to accommodate a maximum of one guest per Summer Bridge participant. Please note guests will be asked to depart once the dinner has ended. There are more activities that include parents, guardians, family, and friends during the New Student Orientation Program (NSOP).
Classes will be taught by our experienced instructors in person. Monday–Friday during the program, Columbia College students will take introductory courses in Literature Humanities, University Writing, Psychology and Calculus or Statistics. Columbia Engineering students will take Chemistry, Physics, Calculus and University Writing.
The Summer Bridge Program is a requirement of your admission agreement. We ask that you do not schedule any major personal, work or travel commitments during the program that would interfere with any of the program's planned events. There is a full itinerary of activities for the weekdays, including classes, tutoring sessions, workshops and other events. There are also program events planned on the weekend.
