Academic Year Weekend — Columbia University Pre-College Programs

An online interactive academic program for Grades 9–12. Students study selected courses over seven weekends, interact with instructors and peers from around the world, and can participate in college-preparation, leadership and career-exploration activities.

Columbia courses, expert instructors, global peer community, discussions, projects, case studies and presentations, college-preparation events, plus a Columbia University Certification of Participation and instructor evaluation letter.

Students in Grades 9–12, including international students. No fixed minimum GPA; admissions considers academic preparation, motivation, maturity and intellectual curiosity. Students apply to the program rather than directly to a specific course. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
