SCIENCE
The Core science requirement aims to develop critical awareness of the
methods and limits of scientific inquiry, while fostering observational
and analytical skills, particularly in reference to the natural and physical
world. When choosing a science course, students should make sure they
have reviewed and met the specified prerequisites for the course prior to
enrollment.
Students who are considering careers in science-related fields, including
health-related professions, are urged to begin their study of science
within the first two semesters after matriculation atGS.
Science Requirement
To fulfill the science requirement, students must successfully complete
three courses selected from two of the following Columbia departments
or fromthe list of approved coursesbelow, no more than two of which
should be from the same department:
Astronomy
Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Earth and Environmental Sciences
Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology
Physics
Psychology (Columbia department only, excluding courses numbered
at the 2600, 3600, or 4600 level)
Students who matriculate in spring 2023 or earlier may also use
international high school leaving exams for which they received at least
three transfer credits on the Entrance Credit Report (ECR) in one of the
disciplines listed above to fulfilloneof the three science requirement
courses. Students who matriculate in fall 2023 and later will not be able
to receive science credit for international leaving exams.
List of Approved Science Courses

recommended sequences, science courses for non-science majors, and
approved courses from departments not listed above and Barnard.

class experiments, computer simulations, and selected readings
— with a range of ideas and techniques designed to integrate
and anchor scientific habits of mind. Topics covered will include
statistics, basic probability, a variety of calculations skills, graph
reading and estimation, all aimed at elucidating such concepts as
energy, matter, cells, and genes in the context of astronomy, biology,
chemistry, earth sciences, neuroscience, and physics.

SCIENCE

The Core science requirement aims to develop critical awareness of the

methods and limits of scientific inquiry, while fostering observational

and analytical skills, particularly in reference to the natural and physical

world. When choosing a science course, students should make sure they

have reviewed and met the specified prerequisites for the course prior to

enrollment.

Students who are considering careers in science-related fields, including

health-related professions, are urged to begin their study of science

within the first two semesters after matriculation at GS.

Science Requirement

To fulfill the science requirement, students must successfully complete

three courses selected from two of the following Columbia departments

or from the list of approved courses below, no more than two of which

should be from the same department:

  • Astronomy
  • Biological Sciences
  • Chemistry
  • Earth and Environmental Sciences
  • Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology
  • Physics
  • Psychology (Columbia department only, excluding courses numbered

at the 2600, 3600, or 4600 level)

Students who matriculate in spring 2023 or earlier may also use

international high school leaving exams for which they received at least

three transfer credits on the Entrance Credit Report (ECR) in one of the

disciplines listed above to fulfill one of the three science requirement

courses. Students who matriculate in fall 2023 and later will not be able

to receive science credit for international leaving exams.

List of Approved Science Courses

The list of approved courses that fulfill the science requirement includes

recommended sequences, science courses for non-science majors, and

approved courses from departments not listed above and Barnard.

The following two courses may satisfy both the QR requirement and one

science requirement when passed with a letter-grade of C or above. The

P/D/F grading option is not available for either of these two courses.

  • Foundations of Science (SCNC UN1212)

Using modern, student-centered, active and collaborative learning

techniques, students will engage — through field observations, in-

class experiments, computer simulations, and selected readings

— with a range of ideas and techniques designed to integrate

and anchor scientific habits of mind. Topics covered will include

students in the process of discovery by exploring topics at the

forefront of science and to inculcate or reinforce the specific habits of

mind that inform a scientific perspective on the world. Sample topics

include the evolution of human language, brain dynamics, global

climate change, the nanoworld, and biodiversity, among others.

GS students interested in taking one of these courses should have earned

a minimum score of 16 on the GS Quantitative Reasoning Exam and/or

meet the specific criteria listed in the Quantitative Reasoning section

of the website by the specified timelines. Prior to enrolling in Frontiers

of Science, students should also read the first chapter of the electronic
