Hi gymasticsfan321,

My name is Kat, and I am a tour guide for The School of General Studies. In response to your question, The School of General Studies is one of Columbia University’s four undergraduate schools, and there is no academic difference between Columbia College and GS. The classes are mixed, curriculum fully integrated, and the same majors are offered. GS is designed to meet the advising, housing, and financial aid needs of independent adult students, who have more than a one-year break in their educational journeys since high school, while CC provides the same services tailored for recent high school graduates.

Hope this helps!
