Similar to other pre-college programs in which you attend college classes alongside undergraduate students, the College Edge Program at Columbia offers an excellent opportunity to experience college level academics, to advance in one or more areas of academic interest, and to strengthen your case for admission for a particular college major. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Applications are processed on a rolling basis and will not be reviewed until all application materials have been submitted. College Edge residential programs cost $2,574 per point, which equates to $7722 per 6 week class. Significant other fees apply, which may add to up to over $1,000. For every hour of class attended, students can expect 3 to 4 hours of homework.
