<p>How is the Applied Math department at Columbia. If I do the 3-2 program with Columbia, would the applied math degree be the same as one for a student who as attended Columbia all 4 years?</p>
<p>

<p>Good.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>With Columbia and what? Another university? Columbia College and SEAS?</p>

<p>Not sure what you’re asking. An applied math BS is an applied math BS.</p>
<p>I am doing the 3-2 program with Columbia and Denison. The 2 years I am at Columbia, would I have taken the same courses as a student in Columbia who majored in applied mathematics?</p>
<p>Probably not entirely, since presumably you will have taken some material at Dennison, while four-year Columbia students will take all their classes at Columbia. There will be overlap, though, if that’s your question; you will not to the best of my knowledge be segregated academically.</p>
<p>Are there many students who do the 3-2 program with Columbia from outside schools?</p>
<p>There are enough to fill a small dorm Columbia keeps for the first year 3-2 students are at the school. I’ve only met one 3-2 student in my time here though, and she was in biomedical engineering (came from Arcadia).</p>
<p>Is it feasible to go to graduate school (my plans) after doing the 3-2 program with Columbia? How to grad schools view students with two degrees (B.A and a B.S)? By the way, thanks a lot for your help.</p>
<p>Many people in grad school did not pursue an undergraduate major in their discipline, let alone achieve a second bachelor’s degree. Your grad school chances should only be increased.</p>
<p>Roughly 60-70 people enter the 3-2 program each year. You enter as a junior and are treated like any other junior transfer student in SEAS, go through the same credit evaluation process, and enroll in the junior level courses of your program along with the students who have been there since freshman year. You graduate and walk across the stage just like everyone else.</p>
<p>Applied math, for example, would be very small, and you would begin the curriculum with upper level coursework that is prescribed in the SEAS curriculum for a 3rd year student. The advantage is being able to enroll in classes and be a Columbia student benefitting from all the courses, research opportunites, community, and resources that your liberal arts college didn’t have. The rep for 3-2s with faculty is of high praise. In fact in recent years, the 3-2 program has generated a couple of the SEAS graduating class valedictorians. It’s cool because you avoid any weed out intro level courses and also the required core curriculum of Columbia.</p>
<p>thanks a lot Jacobian and columbia2007 for you input and help</p>
