The Office of Global Programs supports the University's
overall goal of internationalizing our campus and engaging scholars, students
and institutions in creating a deeper understanding of our globally
interdependent and culturally diverse world. This office aims to ensure
international opportunities for undergraduate students that combine cultural
immersion, intellectual challenge and individual growth through expanding their
world view. Equally important is the aim to provide a comparable experience to
international exchange students coming to Columbia.
The Office of Global Programs aims to:
Provide students with a
global perspective through immersion into another culture, thereby
increasing their linguistic and social understanding of the world's
peoples and their interconnectedness.
Offer students an academic
experience that enhances and complements their education and, wherever
possible, that provides a comparative dimension in their major field of
study.
Ensure as much as possible
a learning environment that is challenging, supportive, and safe.
