The International Student Orientation Program is designed to help first-year international students in Columbia College (CC) and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) comfortably transition into the Columbia University community before the New Student Orientation Program week.
The nature of this fellowship is solely for financial support. CUSP does not vet the safety or security of project or internship locations pursued by scholars accepting this award. It is the responsibility of the individual student to take the appropriate precautions with respect to their destinations. As described in the Undergraduate International Travel Policy, all CUSP-sponsored activities taking place abroad must receive School Sponsorship approval prior to travel.
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.
