| Good points. Is it common to take classes during the summer? He has had a good liberal arts background in HS so is not inclined to the 4-1 program, etc. I was thinking more in terms of taking the sci/engineering equivalent of a liberal arts curriculum so instead of languages, history, English, econ, pol sci this would be astronomy, biology, CS, physics, real analysis, etc, ie a broad education in the sciences.
Going back to the summer school issue: is it incl in the tuition or does one have to pay? Also, from your mention, courses taken elsewhere would count, right? He has a bunch of AP credits coming in, so if he goes off to Cambridge England to study physics or math in the summer or astronomy would it count at Columbia? |
