I graduated from Columbia several years ago so I can speak of my experiences from back then.....it was a good liberal arts school with the great asset that many schools are lacking - teachers that are actively working in the field that they are teaching about. — I have to admit that I had… read full review »

I believe that Columbia is for the die hard art student. If you are looking to meet great friends, you are sorely mistaken. There is a major lack of student cohesiveness and there is way too much politics going on behind the scenes. I graduated from columbia but I didnt like it… read full review »

Having been in higher ed since the 80's, Columbia College is where I'll finally graduate.  I've taken over a dozen courses online and find them challenging and inspirational.  Eight weeks goes quick, and you can't beat the commute in online courses.  Texts are easily found on e-bay or book-byte and therefore I can afford the education. — Students are frequently active duty military, but also from all over the country and provide lots of different viewpoints. — I love it! —… read full review »
